What Size ATV Is Best For You

One of the first considerations when shopping for an ATV is what size ATV is best for you. When thinking about what size of ATV is best for you, there are several things you should take into consideration-your age, your sex, your height and weight, and your experience with ATVs. One thing you should remember when thinking about what size ATV is best for you is that ATVs are very, very powerful machines. What size ATV is best for you comes down to what you are capable of controlling, and what you are going to be doing with your ATV.

For the purposes of ATVs, potential riders are more or less divided into three age groups: children under twelve, children over twelve, and adults sixteen and older. If you enjoy riding ATVs with your family, then you are probably interested in making sure the entire family can ride and enjoy ATVs. Children under twelve can safely ride ATVs if the proper precautions are taken and they are always with adults. Children under twelve should never handle an ATV by themselves, and there is no appropriately sized ATV for children under twelve. All manufacturers state plainly that their youth models are not built for children under twelve. ATVs, even youth models, are simply too powerful for anybody under twelve to control.

If you are over twelve, you might be wondering what size ATV is best for you. Youth models of ATVs are typically smaller, lighter versions of large, regular sized models. The smaller youth-sized models also have smaller engines. The engines in a kid's ATV can be 50cc, 70cc, 90cc, or 110cc. What size model is best for you might be based on experience in this instance. A younger kid who has never handled an ATV on his own might be best suited for a 50cc engine. A 50cc sized ATV is a great starter ATV for children new to handling and driving ATVs.

If you are an adult and you are seeking the size that is best for you, then you might have different considerations. If you plan to mainly race with your ATV, you might want to look into lighter and smaller motorcycles and four-wheelers. If you plan to be hauling items, towing items, camping, or hunting, you might be interested in a larger ATV with more power.
