ATV

Four-wheeled off-roader

An ATV (all-terrain vehicle) is a small motorized vehicle designed for off-road use, typically with four wide, low-pressure tires and handlebars for steering.

ATVs are used for recreation, farming, and hunting, navigating rough terrain that standard vehicles cannot handle: We took the ATVs up the mountain trail.

Also called a four-wheeler or quad.
