QUAD BIKE. A Quad Bike (Europe) or ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) in North America, is used in a general sense to describe any of a number of small open engined buggies and tricycles designed specifically for off-road use. However, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) defines an All-Terrain Vehicle as a vehicle that travels on low pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, and with handlebars for steering control.
A Quad Bike ATV rider sits on and operates these vehicles like a motorcycle, but the extra wheels give more stability at slow speeds. Although typically equipped with three or four wheels, six-wheel models exist for specialized applications. Engine sizes of ATVs currently for sale in the United States (as of 2008 products) range from 49 cc to 950 cc.
