Everyone should have access to the outdoors regardless of their abilities. An ATV can give you the opportunity to explore the outdoors. Finding an ATV that is suitable for you doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. Loewer Powersports & Equipment has many ATV options. For more information, visit our location in Alexandria, Louisiana, serving Rapides Parish and Lafayette, Louisiana.

Ways ATVs Help With Accessibility

If you have a condition that prevents you from being mobile, using a quad is a great way to enjoy the outdoors even on difficult terrain. If you are no longer able to ride a motorcycle or bike due to health issues, you can use an ATV to enjoy riding recreationally and continue to enjoy the adrenaline rushes you enjoyed before.

ATVs can also be used on hunting and fishing trips. You can also use them for trail-riding and adventuring. With a quad, the world opens up for you so that you can explore the beauty of the outdoors.

Available Modifications

With ATVs, it is possible for most disabled riders to use them without much difficulty. Therefore, it is not necessary to purchase an ATV that is expensive or has modifications that cost a lot of money. Instead, you can add reasonably priced modifications to your quad.

One common modification is adding a trigger. You can also add a switch that can be reached by a finger, elbow, or chin to operate the ATV and replace the traditional throttle. For safety, you can also add a harness to secure you into the ATV. Installing a different seat and adding cargo space are also common modifications.

Activities to Enjoy

Being disabled may have prevented you from enjoying activities that you are interested in. An ATV can make it possible to engage in these activities. With a special permit, you can use a quad to hunt. The permit allows you to travel over rough terrain with your hunting gear including any weapons you need for the hunt. 

If you modify your ATV with paddle tires, you can access the beach and enjoy the view of the coastline. If your friends enjoy hiking, you can join them with your ATV as many trails are accessible by ATV.

The Wrap Up

An ATV can allow you to engage in a number of outdoor activities. You can go hunting, hiking, or fishing alone or with friends. You also can modify your ATV to suit your lifestyle and needs.
