As the popularity of ATVs has soared, many families have taken an opportunity to purchase one to help turn their time outdoors into an adventure. However many families only purchase one all terrain vehicle for their exploration. The introduction of side by side into the market has made it possible for these families to explore their environment in comradeship with each other.
All terrain vehicles are usually referred to as ATVs. They are also called quads, quad bikes, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers. Some are for recreation, others for utility purposes. There are two basic types. Type I is for the operator only. Type II is for the operator and 1 passenger. They are designed for off the road use only. The seat of ATVs are similar to a motorcycle seat. It has to be straddled by the vehicle operator. Another similarity to a motorcycle are the handle bars for steering. They are designed to be driven, or operated, on rugged territory unsuitable for automobiles.
Utility vehicles ATV or all-terrain vehicles, are popular motor-driven, off-highway automobiles. They are made with handlebars and a seat just like a motorbike but with 4 tires which are there for control in addition to safety when riding along unpaved streets. The term is much more generally used to explain a number of small, open, motorized buggies and that are intended for off road driving.
