What is an "all-terrain vehicle"?
An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is a small, powerful vehicle designed to travel on a variety of surfaces, including dirt, mud, snow, and gravel. It has four large tires and a sturdy frame that can handle rough, uneven terrain. ATVs are often used for recreational activities like riding on dirt paths, exploring, and racing, but they can also be used for work tasks in farming or forestry. They are popular for their versatility, allowing riders to reach areas that would be difficult to access with regular vehicles.
Examples
The hunters used their all-terrain vehicle to navigate through the dense forest.
