Here's a breakdown of the different places you can take your quad bike:
In Your Garden
If you have a garden that is large enough, quad bikes are great fun to ride around in.
Be careful not to damage anything, and make sure you keep an eye on the time as trackless quad biking can be addictive!
Bear in mind that zooming around on your quad bike will likely damage any sort of grass you might have in your garden.
In A Forest
First, ensure riding a quad bike is allowed before going quad biking in a forest.
If you can, quad bike riding is an awesome experience due to the uneven terrain that your quad has to deal with on its own.
The best areas are often found away from roads and paths so make sure you read up before going!
Local Motorsports Park
Many people will use their quad bikes solely for racing purposes; if this sounds like something which interests you then it's worth checking out local motorsport parks in your area.
There may be some sections set aside specifically for quad bike racers but these can often get very busy so check before turning up on
On The Beach
One of the best places for quad bike riding is on a sandy beach. If there isn't much sand nearby, it's easy enough to pack some down with something like a bale of hay or straw before heading out onto your quad bike adventure.
If possible take someone else along who knows how to operate one so they can help give directions when needed and provide assistance should things go wrong!
On Holiday
Depending on where you go on holiday you may be able to find quad bike riding opportunities.
For example, you may be able to quad bike on a beach in your hotel resort which will make an excellent experience for quad-bikers of all ages; alternatively, if there is some form of nearby forest it could also provide a great day out!
