Title: Why cant an ATV be ridden on the street ???
Post by: acamoeiger on July 26, 2006, 09:21:06 PM
What is the difference between an ATV and a moped ?? My Eiger goes faster, Its safer, It has lights, And you can put turn signals on it. Its quiet too. Just wondering if anyone knows. I would rather ride my quad to work than drive my truck...  :dunno.gif

i read 4wheeler magazine that a guy wrote a letter and pic of him riding in canada he said legal there. i know rhinos are legal in arizona if you put horn and blinkers on it.

Imagine the savings in gas.

Hell, in this state you can barely ride them off road.
 As far as gas savings, my truck gets better mileage than my Quad. It would be fun though.

Live in South Florida, I refuse drive anything smaller than a mack truck (lol)... No seriously, yea it would be cool.  But would need street tires, we'd kill our tires in no time.

My little neighborhood is pretty cool though,  ;) sometimes we all ride around just in our neighborhood.  Like from house to house, the cops are okay w/it as long as we dont haul butt or anything like that.  Never had a problem, but alot of it has to do w/neighborhood, pretty much you don't mess w/me, I don't mess w/you...  We just don't do it too much cause eats tires bad....

You can by a street legal Golf Cart now. The only differance is Bumpers, brake and turn lights, seat belts and liscense and registration.
