If you've always wanted to get involved with the ATV sport, but thought you couldn't afford to do it, we're going to show you some ways to cut your costs, not compromise your safety, and make it possible for you to participate in this terrific family sport.
First let's talk about the price of buying an ATV. An ATV can be very expensive if you just have to have a top of the line model. However, if you're willing to start small, some very decent ATV models can be found for as little as $3000.00 new. Of course, you can save even more money if you're willing to buy a used ATV in good condition. Sometimes you can get a terrific deal on a nice ATV when someone is moving up to a higher performance model. And if you only have time to ATV now and then, there are many ATV parks that provide rental ATVS for the day.
Now let's think about transportation. If you own an ATV, you'll need to transport it to legal riding trails and tracks. You do not need to purchase a special trailer rig or big truck to do it. Most ATVs will fit in the bed of a pick up truck or back of a van, and all you need is a loading ramp. If you don't have a van or pick up, consider renting a U-Haul for a mere $10 a day. They come with built in ramps.
Safety is your most important issue to tackle. Yes, you can drop a chunk of change on the most expensive helmet, gloves, goggles, chest plates and assorted padding the ATV sport has to offer. But keep in mind that as long as your gear has the DOT approval, it will do the job to keep you safe, so go for the least expensive.
See? There plenty of ways to ATV on a budget, and get your foot in the door of this terrific sport.
