10 Things You Need To Know Before Buying An ATV

When it comes to buying an ATV, there is a lot to consider

An ATV is the perfect addition to your summer or winter plans, whether you’re looking recreationally or need a utility vehicle to get around the farm. There are a few factors you'll want to consider when looking for the ATV that's right for you:

• Cost is an obvious consideration and Boost is here to make sure you get the best deal for what you need, but we have a few things we recommend you keep in mind:

• Versatility—you want to make sure the ATV will be able to handle whatever situation comes along. You don't want a vehicle that can only do one thing well. Consider the terrain where you live and if you plan to travel to other provinces, make sure the vehicle can handle what you throw at it!

• Power—you want something with enough power under the hood so you won't find yourself wishing for more later on down the road. Don't skimp in this area! The last thing you want is for your new toy to be incapable of handling even simple tasks like getting out of the mud, pulling a small boat or hauling dirt around your property.

• Towing capabilities—you never know when something might come up unexpectedly like another rider needs a tow out or maybe a friend needs help moving furniture? Make sure your ATV can handle those situations easily by having good tow capacity.

ATVs can cost anywhere from $5,000 to over $20,000 depending on the age, size and power of the machine.

The price range of a new ATV is anywhere from $5,000 to over $20,000 depending on the age and size of the machine. Four-wheelers with bigger engines and more extras will cost more than smaller, less powerful machines.

It is extremely important to insure your ATV because it can get very expensive if you are involved in an accident. The minimum age recommendation for operating an ATV is 16 years old; however, riders under the age of 16 can be supervised by an adult.

If you are riding unsupervised on public land you will need to have taken both a basic and advanced riding course. Most provinces require that all riders wear full protective gear when operating an ATV – so because of this:

You will also need accessories like helmets, gloves, boots and riding gear.

To keep yourself an other riders safe, you're going to need a helmet if you plan on riding an ATV. But what are some other accessories you should consider before purchasing?

You'll also need gloves, goggles and boots. These items are important safety gear because they protect your hands and feet from debris, and will keep your eyes safe from rocks kicked up by the tires. Many people also wear knee pads, elbow pads or chest protectors to absorb the impact in case of a fall.

When it comes to maintaining your ATV, there are a few accessories recommended for this purpose as well: a rack for carrying tools, tie-down straps for transporting your vehicle and heavy-duty cleaning wipes for wiping off mud or other dirt.

And finally, many riders also choose to purchase accessories that will give them more convenience or comfort while riding their ATVs—such as extra gas tanks and windshields—and can even help them get better use out of their vehicles by adding things like winches or coolers.

Insurance is a must.

Of course, it's not enough to simply own an ATV and ride it around—you need to make sure you're protected by insurance. Just like with a car or truck, the right policy will help protect you from any damage that could be caused by your vehicle—and if you hit someone else or their property, that insurance may be necessary for making things right.

Don't forget about comprehensive coverage! This can help protect you against events such as theft, fire, vandalism, or even natural disasters (especially important if you live in an area prone to flooding or tornadoes). This can also cover any damage done to your ATV while it's stored at home.

You'll also want to keep in mind the possibility of liability lawsuits. If someone is injured while on your property and they decide to sue you for damages related to the incident, liability coverage can help cover legal costs and pay out claims if necessary.

There are two main types of ATVs: those with a single rider seat, or ones that can accommodate two people.

There are two main types of ATVs: those with a single rider seat, or ones that can accommodate two people. As you might expect, the two-seater ATVs are less common and more expensive, but they're also a lot of fun for families and can be used for some recreational sports on top of off-roading.

The second seat on an ATV is usually meant for a child and looks like a smaller version of the first seat (with less cushioning). On certain models, you can convert your one-seater into a two seater by adding an additional attachment if you decide later down the road that you want to bring someone along for the ride.

There are also different kinds of engines, some faster and more powerful than others.

There are also different kinds of engines, some faster and more powerful than others. A two-stroke engine is low maintenance, provides rapid acceleration because it has more power strokes per revolution, but uses more fuel in the process.

Four-stroke engines are more fuel efficient but can require maintenance because they have more moving parts in the engine.

Electric ATVs use rechargeable batteries to power an electric motor that drives the wheels. There are no emissions from these engines, so they're usually quieter than gas powered ATVs, but electric models can be slow to accelerate compared with other types of ATVs. Keep this in mind depending on whether you plan on giving your child a ride around your lawn or taking your ATV out for a quick race through the woods with your friends.
