Birthed in the 1980s, four-wheelers were originally developed to replace three-wheeled ATVs. The three-wheeler had a bad reputation for rolling on riders, which needless to say, put an end to a day of fun pretty quick. Early production of ATVs focused on high speeds, and popular manufacturers each competed to put out the fastest model possible. The early 90s saw a shift in focus when many manufacturers began to focus on the specialized uses for ATVs, rather than just speed alone. Utility ATVs erupted as a popular choice for groundskeeping, landscape, and property management like duties. Sports ATVs, on the other hand, have only gotten faster and will most likely continue doing so.

The types of ATVs available on the market today vary, but the selection is large. No matter what you are looking to accomplish with your ATV, there’s probably going to be a manufacturer and model designed specifically for what you have in mind. ATVs that are light and fast are perfect for scouting property and trailblazing. If you've got work to do, go for more power! Haul a trailer or put in long hours of work with larger models that feature trailer hitches and cargo racks. Even kids have specialized models available! With ATVs, you are never without options.

ATVs can seem scary, but if you're using them correctly you will be just fine. If you’re letting younger riders on an ATV, teach them the basics first. Be sure to go over the importance of things like helmets, gloves, and chest protectors. Parents should accompany minors who are just learning to ride and keep speeds low enough so they can practice trail awareness. Of course, you should never ride while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and any health issues should be seriously considered before risking a ride. Keep in mind that different riders have different levels of skill, and you should always be riding on vehicles and terrain that are within your own skill range.
