The term ATV is the shortened version of All-Terrain Vehicle. The ATV is a small open motorized tricycle or buggy that is meant for off-road use. Riders sit on the ATV and operate it like a motorcycle, but it has three wheels. The third wheel of the ATV gives it extra stability when you are traveling at slower speeds. The most popular ATVs have either three or four wheels and are most frequently referred to as 'three-wheeler' or 'four-wheeler'. ATVs have been around and popular for many years. Some of the many manufacturers that make the ATVs are Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Polaris and more. You'll find these manufacturers and more when you shop at MotoYard.
