ATVs

Off-road four-wheelers

ATVs are all-terrain vehicles—small, rugged motorized vehicles designed for off-road use, typically with four wide, low-pressure tires and handlebars for steering.

They're used for recreation, farming, and utility work in rough terrain: We took the ATVs out on the trails.

Also called four-wheelers or quads.
