hi there, when you say "she was about to blow" are you only refering to it getting hot (and needing to stop for a moment to cool down) or that the bike was also making loud strange noises from the engine?

I have a 08 KTM 525xc and I'm 6 foot. The egro's are perfect!!!!!!! I've ridden alot of quads including the Honda 450r,400ex,250r/ Yamaha's Blaster,Raptor, 450. By far the best before the KTM was the 250r, now by far NO QUESTIONS ASKED the KTM is finest in every aspect of a sport quad you could ever ask for. I suggest you ride it not just sit on it before you make up your mind. When first sitting on them they definitely have a diffrent approach/feel, for me it just seemed to be the front fenders throwing me off. After the first ride it was a completely diffrent story.

What may be perfect for you, ergonomics wise, is not perfcet for everyone. I tried a KTM, very nice quad but I will stick with my Honda. I have too much money and time invested into my 450. Plus my knees don't suffer from that plastic ridge.

      ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles) have long been synonymous with off-road adventures, providing an exhilarating escape from the daily grind. Traditionally powered by gas engines, these rugged vehicles have recently undergone a transformative shift toward eco-friendliness and sustainability. Electric ATVs for adults have emerged as a thrilling and environmentally conscious alternative, revolutionizing the off-road experience. In this article, we explore the exciting world of electric ATVs and how they are reshaping the way adults embrace adventure.
      1. Eco-Friendly Powerhouses:
      One of the most significant advantages of electric ATVs is their eco-friendly nature. Unlike their gas-powered counterparts, electric ATVs produce zero emissions, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint. With increasing concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability, electric ATVs offer a guilt-free way to explore nature while preserving the beauty of off-road trails for future generations.
      2. Quiet Performance:
      Electric ATVs provide a noticeably quieter experience compared to traditional gas-powered models. The absence of a loud engine allows riders to connect more intimately with nature, appreciating the sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling. This stealthy advantage also makes electric ATVs a perfect fit for those living near noise-sensitive areas, ensuring an uninterrupted off-road experience without disturbing local communities.
      3. Instant Torque and Responsive Power:
      Electric ATVs boast impressive torque and power delivery right from the start. Electric motors offer instantaneous torque, allowing riders to experience rapid acceleration and impressive handling capabilities. This responsiveness enhances the overall thrill of riding, making electric ATVs an adrenaline junkie's dream.
      4. Low Maintenance:
      Electric ATVs simplify maintenance for riders. With fewer moving parts and no need for oil changes, spark plugs, or air filters, electric ATVs reduce the overall maintenance requirements. This means less time spent on repairs and more time spent enjoying the great outdoors. Furthermore, regenerative braking systems commonly found in electric ATVs help recharge the battery while slowing down, enhancing overall efficiency.
      5. Extended Riding Range:
      Range anxiety, a concern often associated with electric vehicles, is becoming less of a worry with the advancements in battery technology. Modern electric ATVs offer extended riding ranges, allowing adventurers to explore vast territories without running out of power. The availability of charging infrastructure, such as off-road charging stations and portable chargers, continues to expand, making long-distance off-roading a feasible reality.
      6. Customizable Riding Experience:
      Electric ATVs for adults often feature advanced electronic controls that allow riders to personalize their experience. With adjustable power modes and traction control settings, riders can fine-tune the performance to match their skill level and terrain conditions. Additionally, features like smartphone connectivity, GPS tracking, and customizable lighting options enhance convenience and safety while adding a touch of modernity to the ATV experience.
      7. Cost Savings:
      While the initial purchase price of electric ATVs may be higher than traditional models, the cost of ownership over time tends to be lower. Electric vehicles have fewer mechanical parts that can wear out, resulting in reduced maintenance costs. Moreover, electricity costs are often significantly lower than gasoline prices, making electric ATVs more economical to operate in the long run.
      Conclusion:
      Electric ATVs for adults have emerged as an exciting and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gas-powered models. Offering thrilling performance, extended riding ranges, and customizable experiences, these eco-conscious vehicles are revolutionizing the way adults explore off-road terrain. As the world embraces a more sustainable future, electric ATVs are propelling us toward an era of adventure that harmonizes with nature. So, gear up and embark on unforgettable journeys with the electric ATV revolution.

      Hello everyone! I have several ATVs for on farm use. 5 are Polaris : a Magnum 330, two sportsman 500 models, and two Sportsman 700 models. 
      I also have a Yamaha and a Suzuki. 
      All are older models and constantly needing repairs. So looking forward to wealth of knowledge on here 🙂

      I have noticed lately that the ATV tires i generally buy have upped in price quite a bit. The Kenda EX that i generally get are sold out and not available at this time, the EVO which is usually my second choice has increased 50.00 on a set of 4. The HTR Kendas best tire is now 150.00 per tire. Even the Sun F have increased but not so much as the others.

      My 2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660 is still going strong but the battery has not been holding a charge. I replaced it a few years back and have been jumping it lately but after sitting for a few days, it drains out. I recently purchased two car batteries from Weize directly because it was a good price for an AGM. I looked on weize for a YTX20HL-BS and its an AGM at $59.99. I believe they have a promo code you can find. Found it cheaper on Amazon and intalled it yesterday.
       

       
      I ended up buying the same one on Amazon which is $49.99 with a $20% coupon bringing it down to $39.99, which is a pretty good price for an ATV AGM battery.

       

      Just a heads up if anyone needs a new ATV/UTV battery going into winter.
      YTX20HL-BS fits a a good amount of models.
