| *Vultures Knob>>>Quad Bike |
Is not the description Quad bike a nonsense? |
Given that quad is 4 and Bi is 2 Yes, it is. The correct term would be Quadricycle. now you come to mention it, yes Quad-cycle Quad-motor ?? You have a very good point there, take a star! im not sure, it makes sense to me because the original quad bikes had four wheels, they were made heavy duty for biking over rough country, as they became more popular and people became more adept at this sport they made them into two wheels but the name stayed the same ,, the name bike.. is an origunal decription for anything with wheels regardless of how many wheels are on it.. Bicycle - 2 wheels (known as a 'bike'). Tricycle - 3 wheels (known as a 'trike') Quadricycle - 4 wheels (known as a 'quad'). They have become known as 'quad bikes', as the the word "quad" on its own already has several meanings in the English language. Since the word "bike" is a slang expression it has taken on extra meaning besides simply being short for bicycle. So anything that you ride by straddling the seat and using handlebars for control has been generically termed a bike. Calling a quad bike is simply adding a qualifier so that you know it's a four wheeled bike instead of a two wheeled one. Maybe not technically correct, but the english language is loaded with slang, exception and other unexplainable things. |
