Embarking on a powersports adventure is not cheap. The average Polaris consumer, for instance, lives in a dual-income household and has “good” credit, according to the powersports company’s Q2 2022 earnings report.
Having good credit is often key to getting started in the world of powersports. JD Power estimates that the average price of a new UTV, which is an ATV with at least two seats side by side, is $15,626. These vehicles can range from $4,000 to $30,000, according to JD Power.
And then there are the accessories.

ATV GPS
We’ve grown to rely on our phone’s map app for navigation. But often, you’ll find yourself with no signal on the trails. That’s when a handheld GPS is crucial.
