To the uninitiated, it may seem that all you need to start riding an ATV or UTV is just to go out and buy a vehicle. Technically speaking, it’s hard to argue with that logic. But in practice, there are many things we think every off-roader should have before ever going out for a rip and an even longer list of things that would be very helpful or at least nice to have.

Have you ever walked into a big ATV and SxS dealership and marveled at all the wonderful machines on display? It’s a safe bet that most of us have done that at some point. There are a lot of different types of machines available, and that can make it hard to pick the right one for you. There are three basic types of ATVs and Side-by-Sides (SxS) and there is definitely some overlap. Those three basic classifications are Utility, Recreation and Sport.

Unless you have pristine sand dunes, scenic mountain trails, or vast open wilderness at your back door, as well as a dealership that offers pick-up and delivery, you’re going to need to trailer your ATV or UTV at some point. I’m going to take a moment to compose myself because I’m betting there is at least one of you out there that has all that. For the rest of us, we have to trailer our machines, and that is going to call for the use of ratchet tie down straps.

While UTVs started as primarily gas-powered off-road machines, they have expanded into a broader category, including high-performance electric models. Electric UTVs are rapidly gaining attention as manufacturers focus on improving battery technology, increasing range, and boosting torque.

As the technology evolves, electric UTVs are becoming a serious contender in the world of off-roading. The electric UTV market is forecasted to grow at a rate of over 12% annually as off-road enthusiasts shift towards more sustainable options.
