When you first get into the riding of ATVs, you will see a lot of people dropping a lot of money on their ATVs and that's great if they have it but not everyone has disposable income. However, you can ride an ATV on a budget and still have a blast if you just cut a few corners.
When you purchase your ATV, Raceway will deliver it right to your door. Before you go riding for the first time however, you will need a way to haul it around. You can spring for an expensive trailer to haul your ATV or you can save a little money and use other means to get your ATV to your favorite riding spots. The ATVs of today such as the Kazuma 50cc are built compact and powerful. Most ATVs will fit into a standard pickup bed and many will fit into vans and minivans. If you want to spring for a loading ramp so they can make the haul to your favorite riding destinations easier for loading or unloading. Many of these trailheads have premade embankments that make it easy to unload without a ramp. If you like to ride with a friend, you can rent a commercial trailer for little more than ten dollars a day.
When you do just routine maintenance on your ATV, you won't even need to purchase tools. Most ATVs come with a small tool kit that is great for changing the occasional spark plug, doing an oil change and changing out the air filter when you need to. That's another great way to save in the beginning, do your maintenance on the little things. Get a couple of gas cans and watch the price of gas. When it drops - fill up your gas cans and save a little on your next ATV ride.
The riding gear that you get depends on your personal choice, but Thor makes a great line of ATVing gear and you can get a helmet, gloves, boots and goggles for a very reasonable price. If you race or ride your ATV several times a week, spring for a pair of riding pants and a jersey as in the long run you'll save money on clothing as they are made for hard wear and are very durable items.
ATVing is a very fun sport and if you watch your spending and get deals where you can, you too can ride your ATV pretty cheaply!
