But if you need a quad for work, utility ATVs have more towing capacity and rugged features. Or, if you want the best of both worlds, pick a crossover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost Doesn&rsquo;t Equal Quality<\/strong> &ndash; ATVs can range from<strong> $5,000 up to $20,000,<\/strong> but you can find a <strong>good utility ATV for under $7,000<\/strong>. <em>Remember, the most expensive ATV isn&rsquo;t necessarily the best one for you.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lower CC Engines are Better for Beginners<\/strong> &ndash; There&rsquo;s a correlation between engine size and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/how-fast-does-an-atv-go\/\">speed<\/a>, so <strong>choosing a lower cc engine is safer for inexperienced or <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/best-kids-atv\/\"><strong>youth riders<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"keep-your-atv-safe-for-years-to-come\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep Your ATV Safe for Years to Come<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you&rsquo;ve seen, ATVs can be a big investment, but it&rsquo;s also important to understand that there are ongoing expenses to consider as well, such as fuel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/how-to-store-atv\/\">storage<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/atv-maintenance-tips-buying-guide\/\">maintenance<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people store their ATV in their garage because exposure to UV rays, rain, snow, or high winds can damage your quad. However, if you don&rsquo;t have enough room in your garage for your new four-wheelers, an enclosed 5&rsquo;x20&rsquo; storage unit should do the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can easily find storage solutions near you with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/self-storage-near-me\">peer-to-peer marketplace like Neighbor.com<\/a>.
