Knowra All-terrain vehicle All-terrain vehicle An all-terrain vehicle is a motorized vehicle built to travel over varied surfaces, including rough or unpaved terrain. Many models have four wheels and are ridden astride.
Four-wheel drive : A drivetrain that can deliver engine power to all four wheels. Some ATVs use it to improve traction on loose or uneven surfaces.
Internal combustion engine : An engine that produces power by burning fuel inside a combustion chamber. It is the power source in many gasoline-powered ATVs.
Utility terrain vehicle : A small off-road vehicle, typically with side-by-side seating, a steering wheel, and a cargo bed. UTVs often carry passengers or loads that would not fit on an ATV.
All-terrain vehicle safety : Practices and equipment intended to reduce injury and collision risks while operating an ATV. Rollover and ejection hazards make training, protective gear, and suitable riding behavior consequential.
Dirt bike : A lightweight motorcycle designed for riding on unpaved terrain. A dirt bike has two wheels and is balanced by its rider, unlike a typical four-wheel ATV.
Continuously variable transmission : A transmission that varies its gear ratio continuously rather than switching among fixed gears. Many ATVs use belt-driven CVTs to adjust speed and pulling force.
Electric vehicle : A vehicle propelled by one or more electric motors powered by stored electrical energy. Electric ATVs use motors and batteries instead of the gasoline engines common in older models.
Agriculture : The cultivation of crops and raising of animals for food, fiber, and other products. Farmers use ATVs to travel across fields and inspect or manage livestock.
Rollover : A vehicle crash in which the vehicle tips or rolls onto its side or roof. ATVs can tip on slopes or during sharp turns, especially at excessive speed.
Snowmobile : A motorized vehicle that travels over snow using skis for steering and a driven track for propulsion. Snowmobiles are specialized for snow, while ATVs use wheels on varied ground.
