The Quad Bike
The quad bike is basically an engine-powered quadracycle. It is a four-wheeled motor bike that is straddled by the rider. Many of the safety concerns related to quad bikes are highly dependent on the skill and responsibility level of the rider.
The quad bike was originally designed for road use as a form of horseless carriage. In the early 20th century, the quad bike was redesigned and improved for rough terrain and to move through water. In the 1970s, a top motorcycle manufacturer began designing quad bikes based on the features of its motorcycles. This began the popular off-road use of today’s quad bikes. Today’s quad bikes are lighter in weight and designed to use in off-road situations that would be difficult for larger vehicles.
