Before riding a quad, Aventouralia has prepared a series of recommendations on how to drive a quad, so you can enjoy the experience without any unforeseen events.
How to drive a quad: Recommendations
If this is your first time riding a quad, here are some tips to help you take your first steps safely and smoothly:
Wear protective equipment
Be sure to wear the proper protective gear, such as a helmet, goggles, gloves and sturdy clothing.
Know your quad and your level
Before you start riding, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the quad and its operation. Read the owner’s manual and learn how the throttle, brakes, gears and steering work. In addition, you must be honest with your level. If you are just starting to ride a quad bike, you should be aware that you need to be extra cautious and careful of your surroundings.
Find a suitable place to practice
Find a large, safe place to practice, such as a field or motocross track. It is important that the site has enough space for you to maneuver and that there are no obstacles that could cause an accident.
Adjusts the driving position
Adjust the driving position according to your height and weight. You should feel comfortable and safe on the quad.
Turn on the quad
Turn on the quad and let it warm up a little before you start driving. Make sure the brakes and gears are working properly.
Start driving slowly
Start driving slowly so that you can get used to the handling of the quad. Practice acceleration, braking, steering and speed changes.
Practice turns
Practice tight turns at low speed so you can get a feel for how the quad moves. Learn to tilt your body in the direction you want to go.
Increase speed gradually: Once you feel comfortable with the handling of the quad, increase the speed gradually. Do not attempt difficult or risky maneuvers until you have more experience.
Pay attention to your environment
Pay attention to your surroundings and the obstacles that may appear in your path. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles and be aware of weather conditions.
Don’t overdo it
Don’t overextend yourself and don’t do things that are outside your abilities. Remember that safety comes first.
What is the best surface to learn how to ride a quad bike?
The best surface to learn how to drive a quad will depend on your level of experience and skill in driving this type of vehicle. In general, a large, flat area such as a field or quad rental is a good option for learning.
On these surfaces, you will be able to practice basic maneuvers such as accelerating, braking, turning and changing direction without obstacles or danger to yourself and others. In addition, these surfaces will allow you to become familiar with the quad’s response to the different actions you perform.
If you are learning to ride a quad in a more advanced environment, a motocross track or off-road trail may be a good option to challenge yourself and improve your skills. In these places, you will find natural obstacles that will allow you to practice your driving skills and improve your confidence.
In any case, it is important that you choose a safe and legal surface to practice on. Make sure you have permission from the landowner or local authorities before driving on any terrain.
