Safety Gear

Safety gear is synonymous with overall passenger protection. Investing in the right items like goggles, protective long sleeves, helmets, etc. should be a preliminary step before even considering taking your UTV out of storage. These elements don’t only prevent unwanted injuries but will also make your rides more comfortable so you can focus on all the fun you’re having.

Remain on Trails

It’s important to ensure you’re on the designated trails whenever driving your UTV. These types of powersport vehicles were intended for paved roads and venturing off the allotted paths could cause you to lose control of your UTV. UTVs are also not engineered to withstand a collision with other vehicles, so keeping on course is always best.

Don’t Overload Your UTV

Like any other vehicle, UTVs have an intended cargo and passenger capacity. It’s best not to have more passengers than available seats traveling in your UTV at any given time. Likewise, if you’ll be transporting cargo, become familiar with your UTVs carrying capacity to avoid overloading. This can prevent harmful accidents for your and your passengers and excess wear and tear to your vehicle.
