How to Uncork a Polaris ATV

Going off-roading with your ATV is a hobby you'll want to enjoy with the entire family. As your children become older, it is important to teach them to drive an ATV on an appropriately-sized machine. Polaris manufactures smaller versions of their Sportsman and Outlaw ATVs just for this purpose. The speed on these ATVs is limited to 10 MPH to assist in the learning process. As your child's experience grows, you can increase the speed by adjusting the throttle.
