Easy Handling and Lower Power
As a beginner, you want to have a model that's easy to maneuver and control. Consider a smaller and lighter model to start on. A smaller model will be easier to steer than a giant machine with many switches and gadgets.
Keep it simple with features like an automatic transmission and throttle limiters. Lower power potential is simply the wisest and safest decision you can make as a beginner. For now, avoid buying any model that exceeds 250cc. You can always go for a higher-powered ATV after some time and experience on a smaller model.
What Type of Riding Do You Plan For?
ATVs are versatile and can be used in different ways. First, consider the areas you'll be riding in and what you'll expect from the unit. Then you can be more selective about the features you need.
Comfortability is essential to consider with endurance riding. If you're in an unfavorable position, you may experience muscle and joint pains. If you plan to use your ATV for hunting, you'll want to have a model with higher ground clearance to clear any obstacles on hunting grounds. Storage space is also necessary for hunting since you'll need to pack your gear, weapon, and the animal you're hunting.
If you plan for high-adrenaline rides, then you'll want to have a model that offers excellent agility and control. Again, a smaller model will be able to handle curves better than others. If you're planning for muddy adventures, you'll want to consider that with your purchase as well.
New or Used and Brands
You may cause scratches and dents through the learning process. Not only is a used model going to be less expensive initially, but accidents are also much easier to handle if you have less invested in the unit. Also, some ATV brands are of higher quality than others. Research the current brand owners' reviews.
