An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is a motorized off-highway vehicle designed to travel on four low-pressure or non-pneumatic tires, with a seat designed to be straddled by the operator and handlebars for steering control. ATVs are also known as quad bikes or four-wheelers. They are subdivided into two types: Type I ATVs are intended for use by a single operator, while Type II ATVs are intended for use by an operator and a passenger. ATVs are used for both recreational and work purposes, offering maneuverability and off-roading ability. They are also used in agriculture to bridge the advantages of trucks and tractors.
Additionally, the term "ATV" can also refer to Advanced Television (ATV), which includes high-definition television (HDTV) and the use of digital transmission of video and audio information on broadcast channels and cable TV.
In summary, an ATV is a versatile vehicle used for off-road travel, recreation, and work purposes, while also being a term used in the context of digital television transmission.
