How to Stay Safe on Your ATV

ATVs are a lot of fun, but they are also very powerful. Whether you use your ATVs for trail rides, hunting, or work, it’s always important to ride them safely. Our team at Jonesboro Cycle & ATV always prioritizes safety, so we’ve made a quick guide for enjoying your quad safely.

1. Wear Your Gear

Safety gear can only do its job if you wear it correctly when riding. You should wear a helmet every single time you ride and it should fit you correctly. You want it to be comfortable, but snug enough to stay on in the event of an accident.

Other safety gear you should be wearing includes gloves, close-toed shoes, eye protection, and protective clothing.

2. Know Your Vehicle

Knowing how your ATV operates and responds, and what its limits are will increase the safety of your ride every time. Even though these vehicles are powerful and agile, they do have limitations and downfalls to be aware of. It can be easier than you’d think to topple over on an ATV, for example. Having a strong understanding of how your ATV rides can help keep you safe!

3. Keep Tabs on Maintenance

Finally, it’s important to keep your ATV running as it should. Keep a regular maintenance schedule to ensure the tires, engine, and controls are all functioning and performing their best. A well-maintained machine is also a safer one.
