Utility ATVs

All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), or off-road vehicles, all have enhanced off-road capability, but the champion among them is the utility ATV. These machines are capable of handling rough roads and off-road terrain. Wide wheels, four-wheel drive, a higher-powered engine, and a low gear in the transfer case help them do this.

Such a vehicle will travel over snow and mud as well as over rocks and sand. Buying an ATV of this type is also advantageous because it means saving on the purchase of a snowmobile or a motorcycle, which utility ATVs can replace very well, and you can use them at any time of year regardless of weather conditions. An ATV can do more than just travel over uneven surfaces covered with sand or mud.

Their true purpose is to overcome various obstacles, such as swamps, steep climbs, and fording shallow rivers — all of which are within an ATV's capabilities. Although ATVs cannot float on water, you can place an inflated inner tube under each axle and push it while swimming alongside. After ATVs won in trophy raids — off-road competitions — ATV sales increased significantly. Even jeep owners admitted that ATVs are a serious contender.

But it is not only fans of extreme recreation and off-road racing who buy utility ATVs. Such machines are in the arsenals of guesthouses and holiday resorts, where people like to take rides around the surroundings, and in country homes and farms, where using an ATV replaces a whole array of specialized equipment. ATVs are also used in paintball and for trips into the mountains.

A real revolution in ATV design occurred when they were fitted with additional seats. This is how long-bodied ATVs appeared. A passenger sits behind the driver on a stepped seat. In this way, the driver's back does not block the passenger's view, and people who cannot or do not want to drive can still enjoy the ride. The main characteristics by which children's ATVs can be distinguished are their size and engine displacement. Despite their low weight, they are quite stable even on uneven surfaces and provide maximum safety for a child. You can confidently buy such a model if the teenager is 12 years old. Prices for children's ATVs are noticeably lower than for adult ones. You can also find an ATV for younger children. Such models include a speed limiter and remote engine control for parents.
