Learning the Characteristics of an ATV

ATVs are motorized vehicles with an overall width of 50 inches or less designed for use exclusively on off-road terrain, primarily for a single rider. They’re powered by gasoline engines and equipped with low-pressure tires, handlebars for steering, and a seat that is straddled by the rider. The legal definition of an ATV can vary by state.

• Improve your ATV’s performance and your enjoyment.
• Maintain your ATV to help it last much longer.
• Improve your riding skills.
• Perform simple repairs.
