Two to Four Wheels

The all-terrain vehicle (ATV), also known as two- and four-wheelers, was first developed by the Japanese as a farm-to-town vehicle in mountainous areas. The two and four-wheelers proved to be an excellent mode of travel and soon became a recreational vehicle that provided transportation to areas inaccessible by other motorized vehicles. It was not long before the Japanese manufacturers realized that the ATV could be sold to Americans. Since that time many Americans argue which machine is safer. Although four-wheelers are considered much more fun to ride and also safer than two-wheelers, statistics show two-wheelers to be safer.

When the ATV first appeared in the United States in the early 1970's, it was promoted and sold mainly by Honda as a recreational vehicle designed to provide thrills for the rider. This is still its primary use today. Two- and four-wheelers are both designed for off-road use only.

Two and four-wheelers both provide their own type of thrill for the rider. While two-wheelers provide much better jumping capabilities and thin trail riding, ATV’s easily climb steep hills and can ride through very rough terrain. It all depends on what you like to do. Both two- and four-wheelers are considered ATV


Both types of machines are extremely fun to ride, and they both have their own dangers you must be aware of. I would, personally, recommend a two-wheeler to anyone interested in riding since they are much more versatile but they are also much more work to ride. The bottom line is that if you ride safely anything you do will be enjoyable. Just go out and have some fun!

Two-wheelers on the other hand, can’t crush the rider. The most that a two-wheeler can do in any case is fall on your legs which can cause some injuries to the rider. Two-wheelers make up less than 2% of all registered vehicles and only 0.4% of all vehicle miles traveled. Two-wheel riders, however, account for over 8% of total traffic accidents and fatalities (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSA, 2001). In the year 2001, there were 16 deaths for every 100,000 registered motorcycles. Since 1997, ATV fatalities have increased by more than 50% (NHTSA, 2002).
