Any disabled riders out there?


Recommended Posts

As a disabled rider, i was wondering if there is anyone else that hasn't let a disability stop them. Do you ride with someone who is disabled? What do you ride and what modifications were done to the ATV? What reaction do you get out on the trails?

For me, I ride a Grizzly 700 EPS. I am missing my right leg and I modified the right foot brake so that I can still put pressure on it to shift the transmission lever. I also wear a special "leg" just for riding. I still don't do anything too wild, but I am getting more confident on my machine.

Hi Alaskasunrise.

Around Christmas 2008 I was at some gathering with 4 wheelers in a place called Rudskogen in Norway. I took some pictures over there, and when I got back home something was missing on one picture. After a while I figured out what it was. Rider in this picture is missing right arm. On my original picture, I can zoom in where thumb throttle is. It’s not there. I guess it’s on left side. That person was riding all day together with all of us (80-90 riders).

Good to hear your disabled don’t stop you from riding

My son is disabled, he will most likely never be able to ride himself, but I have been thinking about a UTV for my wife, then we can take him along. I don't know if I will be able to get him to keep a helmet on though, I can't even get him to wear a hat. In fact, he doesn't let me wear them either, he insists on taking them off for me.
