In the state of Pennsylvania, you need to wear a helmet while operating or riding an ATV. Your helmet needs to fit correctly and be fastened as well as being DOT approved to ride on state-owned lands and roadways that are designated for ATV use.
All-Terrain Vehicles are defined as follows: 1. Class 1 ATV – A motorized off-highway vehicle, which travels on three or more off-highway tires and has a maximum width of 50 inches and a maximum dry weight of 1200 pounds.
"All-terrain vehicle" or "ATV." A motorized off-highway vehicle which travels on three or more tires and which has: (1) a maximum width of 50 inches and a maximum dry weight of 1,200 pounds; or. (2) a width which exceeds 50 inches or a dry weight which exceeds 1,200 pounds.
Class II ATVs (motorized off-highway vehicle, which travels on three or more inflatable tires and has a width which exceeds 50 inches or a dry weight which exceeds 1200 pounds) may be operated on state forest land ONLY if the trail is specifically posted open to Class II ATVs of a particular width and weight.
ATV is an acronym for Average Transaction Value. And while it may sound like a complex mathematical equation, it's actually a straightforward calculation. The ATV of your business is the average dollar amount that a consumer spends with your business in a single transaction.
All All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) in Pennsylvania -- except ATVs used solely for business or agricultural purposes -- need to be registered and titled with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).
In Pennsylvania, for example, you're required to carry proof of liability insurance any time you ride your ATV off your own land. And, some states don't allow all-terrain vehicles to be driven on paved roads. Check your local and state laws so you know what's legal where you live.
If you buy a vehicle from a registered dealer, you'll get a plate with a 45-day temporary sticker. The dealer also will handle the title and registration application. For a privately bought ATV, you must send DCNR: A completed application for registration and title.
The terms ATV, four wheeler and quad are often used interchangeably which contributes to the confusion of what type of drivetrain these vehicles have. An ATV is an all terrain vehicle with three or more wheels (so we're not talking about motorcycles or bikes), and includes four wheelers and quads.
