Our team at Fun Products Goldsboro aims to be your go-to resource for all of your powersports needs, so we’ve put together this brief guide for first-time ATV buyers.

Consider What Features You’ll Need

The first step in your search should be determining what features are non-negotiable. You likely have an idea of what you’ll need your ATV for, so with those purposes in mind, begin considering what features would be essential for your riding experience. 

As a new buyer, there are a few features that will be more important than others. For example, you should consider models that prioritize easy handling. You should also look for lightweight models with less power. As a new rider, you’ll want to purchase a model that will allow you to grow your skills without being unable to keep the ATV under your control. 

Look for Beginner-Friendly Brands

As you narrow down your search and determine what features you’re looking for, you may notice some brands will be more beginner-friendly. Feel free to ask us for our recommendations!

Budget for Accessories and Gear

Make sure you take time to research the best helmet for your anticipated style of riding. You may also want to invest in riding gloves, boots, and outerwear. 

You may also want to purchase accessories such as LED lighting and other fun upgrades.
