Modifying Your ATV for Riders with Disabilities

ATVing is an incredibly fun activity that no one should have to miss out on. But not every ATV is designed to be perfect for every rider. That’s where special modifications can make all the difference. Check out some ways you can upgrade your ATV to be more accessible to riders with disabilities. You can also talk to our friendly staff about helping you with these modifications, here at Road Track & Trail in Big Bend, Wisconsin.

Does Your ATV Need Modifications?

Believe it or not, some people don’t even need to upgrade their ATV. Depending on the disability, your quad may already be accessible. If the rider can sit up straight with relative ease, control the accelerator and brake without issues, and turn the handlebars, then no additional adjustments may be needed. But this will likely be a decision that’s up to the rider and what they express their needs to be.

Common Accessibility Features

For others, some of those essential functions can be difficult, which is where the additional features come in. If sitting up straight is a challenge, you can look into safety harnesses. Anyone struggling with the controls may want to check out button or joystick options to make it easier to handle the four-wheeler. 

ATVs can open up a world of possibilities for those who may want to enjoy the same kinds of outdoor adventures other riders do. And here at Road Track & Trail, we want all riders to have all the tools they need to hit the trails! If you need help finding the right four-wheeler or the right modifications, then visit us today!
