Lesson Express

Q: How does the design of the amphibious quad bike help it work on both land and water?
A: The quad bike has big tires and a closed body, so it can float on water and drive on land.

Q: What are some fun or useful things you might do with an amphibious quad bike?
A: You could use it for exploring, helping people in emergencies, or studying nature in places like swamps.

Q: Why might someone choose to use an amphibious vehicle instead of a regular land or water vehicle?
A: It can go on both land and water, so you don’t need to change vehicles if you’re moving between different places.
