Oregon requires safety education for people operating ATVs on public land. A free online ATV safety education course is available online at www.rideATVOregon.org
The online course is designed to teach you about Oregon Laws, Safety riding practices and environmental awareness. You can print a 30-day temporary card and a permanent one will be mailed to you.
Out-of-state residents, who do not have a similar card in their state, need to get the Oregon ATV Safety Education Card.
Youth under the age of 16 need to complete a hands-on course in addition to the online course within 6 months.
Class I (quad, 3-wheelers) – ATV Safety Education Card required for all ages.
Class II (sand rail, trucks, SUVs) – Valid state-issued Driver’s License or Instruction Driver Permit required.
Class III (off-road motorcycle) – ATV Safety Education Card required for all ages.
Class IV (side by side) – Valid state-issued Driver’s License or Instruction Driver Permit. If under 16, an ATV Safety Education Card required unless they have Instruction Driver Permit.
If you are renting an ATV, you get a 30-day temporary card from the rental agency after reading and signing an ATV Rental Safety Checklist. Getting your free, permanent ATV Safety Education Card now may save you time at the rental agency.
Operators with a suspended or revoked driver’s license may not operate any ATV
For those age 16 and over
Take the free online course, available at www.RideATVOregon.org
For those under age 16
Youth under age 16 must complete two-steps in order to obtain an ATV Safety Education Card.
Step one is to take an approved online course. Once the online course is complete, the youth will receive an “Instructional Permit” that is good for 180-days so the youth can get riding experience and familiarity with the vehicle under the supervision of a parent or guardian. The youth can then proceed to step two which is to take a hands-on training or evaluation course. Note that the youth must have their 11-digit ATV Safety Education Card number to take a hands-on course.
Once the youth has completed an approved online course, the youth will be given an “Instructional Permit” containing an 11-digit ATV Safety Education Card number. After the youth has gained some riding experience and is familiar with the vehicle, it’s now time to find a hands-on course.
Note: Hands-on Evaluation courses assess the skills of an operator who feels they have experience while Hands-on Training courses assume no previous experience or skill.
Visit our Hands-on Course Locator for available courses in your area. The average travel time to a hands-on course location is typically 1 to 2 hours. We do our best provide opportunities throughout the state. Note that course availability diminishes greatly during the late fall and winter months.
Hands-on Evaluation Courses
Hands-on Training Courses
All non-residents operating Class I (quad) and Class III (off-road motorcycle) vehicles in Oregon are required to take the online ATV Safety Course and carry an ATV Safety Education Card. They are exempt if they possess a card issued by another state or country.
Possessing an ASI or MSF training card does not qualify as a accepted state issued Safety card.
Current list of States that Oregon accepts their cards:
Adult Supervision is required for youth operators under age 16
By law, a supervisor is defined as a person who is at least 18 years of age, holds a valid ATV Safety Education Card, and is able to provide immediate direction and assistance to the youth.
Some of the worst accidents have been due to a lack of adult supervision. Adults are important to teach youth proper skills, make sure youth do not get out of control and provide assistance in case of an accident or vehicle breakdown.
Class I (quad, 3-wheelers) – There is no minimum age, but youth must meet rider fit requirements.
Youths operating Class I (quad) ATVs that are too big for them are at serious risk of injury or death. Youth must meet all the following minimum physical size requirements (Rider Fit) in relationship to the vehicle:
Class II (sand rail, trucks, SUVs) – Must be at least 15 years old with “driving privileges” (license or learners permit)
Class III (off-road motorcycle) – Must be at least 7 years old.
Class IV (side by side) – Operators under age of 16 must meet manufactures age recommendation. Therefore, youth can only operate youth machines.
Buying an ATV or UTV is a big investment and can be a pretty scary endeavor. Whether you don’t want to break the bank on your first ATV or don’t want to have to buy a new one for everyone in your family, buying a used ATV or UTV can be a great option. I know I was deterred from buying an ATV for a long time because I was only looking at the sticker prices on the ATVs at Bass Pro Shop.
You can save quite a bit of money buying a used ATV, but don’t expect the same discounts you might find buying a used car. This is true even more so for used UTVs because they just don’t depreciate much. The price of a brand new ATV or UTV will likely depreciate $500 or so right when it’s purchased, but the depreciation will go much more slowly after that.
Other than that relatively small initial depreciation, though, the price stays about the same for a few years before starting a slow depreciation. There are plenty of people willing buy a 2-5 year old UTV for $1,000 cheaper than the brand new price. Luckily, there is a reason ATVs and UTVs don’t depreciate like cars: They don’t wear down as quickly. I drive a 2009 car that is on its last leg, but a 2009 ATV is likely still running like a champ if it had even a reasonably responsible owner.
So, really, if you want to save some money on an ATV or UTV, the most important thing is to just be really patient. You can find some killer deals if you spend several months (especially in the off-season) scouring Craigslist, ATVtrader.com, ATV Classifieds, your local marketplaces and Facebook marketplace searching for the model you’re looking for, you’ll probably find someone that just wants to get rid of their ATV and is willing to take a low price.
When you are searching for used ATVs or UTVs on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or any of the other places we are going to discuss, you’ll miss out on at least half of the available machines if you just search “ATV.” Some people forget to include that keyword when they make their listing or they call it something else. An ATV could be called a quad or four wheeler and a UTV could be called a side-by-side among other things.
That’s the easy part, but even searching for “ATV,” “Four Wheeler” and “Quad” will leave a lot of options that you miss, and the key to finding a great deal is finding those options that a lot of people don’t see. If you want to bring up a ton more options, look for actual model names as many people list the make and model, but forget to mention the broader terms. Some of the key terms you should use are listed below, but there are countless others.
Facebook Marketplace – You can get to the Facebook Marketplace through an app on your phone or through your computer. As Facebook Marketplace is becoming more popular, I’m starting to see more ATVs and UTVs listed there that aren’t also listed on Craigslist. The nice thing about the marketplace is that there aren’t as many scammers and spammers, but that is quickly changing.
One tip for finding good deals on Facebook marketplace is to set up a series of alerts. Just do a search and then toggle the switch to be notified when something matching that search gets posted. This is an easy way to seach for all the different terms we discussed above wihtout having to repeat dozens of searched over and over again. If you set up all of these notifications, you’ll be the first to know when something is put up. This is key to getting a good deal because you will see right away when someone not knowing what they are doing dramatically undervalues their ATV. If you can message them right away and run over and buy it, you can get a great deal before too many people jump on it and drive the price up.
Craigslist – This is probably the most obvious place to check for used ATVs. You’ll have to dig through spam and probably won’t be the first eyes on it. I won’t bore you with details of how to use the site,as I assume you already know or can figure it out, but ther is one key piece of advice few people know about.
If you download the app called CPlus for Craigslist, you get some powerful features that the normal Craigslist website doesn’t offer. In addition to being able to filter the searches with greater precision, you can also set up notifications of your saved searches similar to what we mentioned on Facebook Marketplace. With this, you can get notified any time a new ATV is posted and be the first to call on it. As we mentioned before, this is really helpful to find underpriced ATVs because you’ll be the first to find the deal, and you don’t have to sit there refreshing Craigslist all day.
eBay Motors – eBay Motors is unlikely to have many ATVs available for local pickup, but if you’re looking for something specific and customized, then eBay Motors is a good option becuase they have lots of stuff.
ATV Classifieds – The website “ATV Classifieds” doesn’t directly sell ATVs. Instead, it acts as an online marketplace for buyers and sellers to meet and interact. This website also allows you to narrow down your search to sellers in your particular state so you don’t get stuck with tons of options you aren’t interested in.
Atvtrader – ATVtrader.com is an awesome site because you can really narrow down your search by what you are looking for and where you are looking. The downside is most of the results are going to be dealers so you are not going to find the best deal, but if you prefer to buy from a dealer, then I highly recommend looking at this source.
Local ATV Club – If you have a local ATV club, this can be a great resource to reach out to. Club members may have the inside scoop on ATV sales in your area. They can also provide additional information on what the value of a given vehicle really is.
Local Classifieds – Your local classifieds are also a great place to look. Most places have some kind of local classifieds online where you can look. There is probably going to be a lot of overlap with Craigslist here, but it is a good place to find deals because there won’t be as many eyes on it.
Tips for Getting a Good Deal on an ATV
There are so many books out there about negotiating that I could do many articles just on this topic. For purposes of this article, here are just a few of my favorite tips.
Tip #1: Never buy an atv with a loan. I know it’s really tempting to just get a small loan so you can get the perfect ATV of your dreams. It sounds great, but it means you’ll be paying way more for the same ATV. Getting a loan also means you may be limited to purchasing a much more expensive new ATV as most banks will not offer financing on used units, and the ones that do give loans on an used ATVs charge crazy high interest rates.
Suppose you want to buy a fully loaded Polaris Sportsman Touring XP 1000. That will set you back $15,000. You decide to get a small loan with just 5.2% interest over 7 years. How much did you pay for your $15,000 ATV in the end? Over $18,000! You just completely wasted over $3,000 because you weren’t patient. If you do the same thing with your car, a home, a TV, and whatever else you buy, you’re paying 20-50% too much for every purchase in your life.
Tip #2: Avoid a “4-Square” Contract. What is a 4-square contract? This is what car salesmen use to screw you. It’s basically a sneaky way to find out what a buyer has available as a down payment and how much they are willing to pay for a payment each month. With this info they try to get you close to your desired payment by tweaking financing so much that you end up paying way too much for the ATV in the long run. Basically, the reason a lot of dealers break out a 4-square piece of paper is because it allows them an easy way to disguise a lot of hidden fees. Every time I have purchased a new car, they only want me tell them what I want my monthly payment to be. I always upset them by saying I don’t care about the monthly fee, I want to pay $X total. It ruins all their fun.
Tip #3: Buy private party if you want to find the best prices. It’s extremely unlikely that you’ll find an ATV dealer that will make a mistake on pricing. They are professionals and know the going rates better than you do. If you get one really cheap, it probably means they knew something about the ATV that you don’t notice.
There is nothing wrong with buying from a retailer. They may give you discounts on gear, help you with service, or provide a warranty. However, if you want to get a crazy good deal on an ATV, you’re unlikely to find it at a dealer. Shop private party.
Tip #4: Don’t be brand loyal. The truth is that there isn’t a whole lot of difference between ATVs of different brands (go ahead and leave me angry comments about why brand X is the best). Unless you’re an extremely talented world-class rider, tiny differences in the way that each brand’s ATV is made will not give you an edge at the race track. Your skill is far more important.
Don’t decide that “you’re a Honda Guy” or a Polaris guy, or a Suzuki guy, or whatever else. If you do, it will mean that there are far fewer deals on ATVs available to you. Embrace the benefits of each of the different brands and be willing to try something different than what you’re used to. You’re looking for a DEAL, not a brand. If you end up hating the ATV, you can rest assured that you bought it at a great price and you can sell it for as much or more than what you bought it for, and then hunt for the next ATV.
Tip #4: Don’t get scammed. The scary part about buying on Craig’s List these days is there are plenty of scammers out there. If you use common sense, you should be okay. Don’t wire money, give access to your account or do anything that seems shady. The other big concern is potentially buying a stolen ATV. Luckily, we have a huge article with everything you need to know on how to avoid buying a stolen ATV.

The instructor will give you equipment, teach you how to operate the equipment, show you the route and send you on the route. You can test drive and test all models.
The season is open all year round - from January 1 to December 31. There are no weather restrictions - if you want to go on the route in the rain or ride through the mud after a downpour, then the trip will take place.
To rent an ATV, you will need to bring your passport or driver's license with you.
You need to dress according to the weather, in comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. We recommend bringing a change of clothes and shoes with you.
ATV rental is available for citizens over the age of 18. If a young man or girl is tall, athletic, then it is possible from the age of 16.

lots of impressions! had a great time! The instructor explained everything clearly and showed. we plan to do it again :) advice to those who are just planning to go: we rode at a temperature of -6. cold, I must say. the best option for those who, like us, are traveling after work, take warm pants and MANDATORY ski gloves. in ordinary knitted or leather gloves, with a slight minus on the street, you will no longer feel your fingers after the 1st lap.
Description
Winter gives a lot of new opportunities for extreme lovers! If you're not the type who likes to spend time lying on the couch, then riding a Yamaha ATV on a 4 lap (6 km) obstacle course at the Quadrorancho will be to your liking. Until January 20, the cost of check-in is 67% cheaper!
ATV is an excellent mode of transport for those who like to have an active rest and cannot imagine life without extreme sports and high speeds.
