ATV

Abbreviation for All Terrain Vehicle. An ATV typically has balloon tires that enable it to cover soft or muddy terrain, and can have two, three or four wheels, and in a few rare cases, even more! The term “ATV” was originally coined to refer to non-straddle ridden six-wheeled amphibious ATVs such as the Jiger produced by the Jiger Corporation, the Amphicat produced by Mobility Unlimited Inc, and the Terra Tiger produced by the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company in the mid 1960s and early 1970s.
