We know a lot of people who don’t want to look like fools when they’re shopping for ATVs. Jokes aside, as much as we hate to sound and look like an idiot who knows nothing about buying an ATV, remember that you have every right, as a consumer, to ask as many questions that you want and if the ATV dealer knows good business when they see one, they’ll do everything they can to give you the answers.
Every ATV dealer should make every effort to train their sales people so that they can answer customers’ questions. This is an important part of customer service. If the sales person appears unsure of the answer but makes an obvious effort to ‘find’ the answers for you by calling others or asking around, give the sales person extra ten brownie points.

Your kid’s first ATV ride experience may not be as easy as you may think it is – even with his great enthusiasm to learn to ride one. Most ATV parents are eager to pass on the ATV “legacy” to their kids without first finding out if their kids are interested. Besides just teaching them to ride, there are other issues that the parents have to tackle first – such as the physical, emotional and mental assessments of your child.
First of all, it is really important that your child is interested in ATVs, or at least is keen in learning to ride on one. If your child shows keen interest, you will need to discern if he is physically ready to ride an ATV. He should be able to at least stand on the footpegs or the floorboards while straddling the seat on the ATV. Your child should be able to reach the control levers comfortably and also have the strength to operate them. After your child passes the physical requirements to ride an ATV, you will need to evaluate his ability to comprehend risk – is he able to recognize and reduce risks? True, you may not be able to get rid of all the risks involved with riding an ATV, but with detailed preparation and careful prevention, you will be able to reduce the risks significantly.
