Quads (all terrain vehicles)

Quad biking is real fun and begins once you’ve got the technique to drive these all terrain vehicles. We have quads for one or two persons so the fun can be shared.
Our qualified professional will be giving a full briefing on the rules, the safety procedures and instruction on how to drive the quad. Safety equipment will be fitted in terms of helmets and off you will go on a follow my leader jaunt across open countryside.  Arena Uk boasts 500 acres so plenty of time to come to terms with riding and controlling the bikes.  Then back to the centre for a time trial to see how good your skills are – and how many points you can earn for your team.

History
The first ATVs were made during the 1950s. These early models had six wheels instead of four. Honda made the first three-wheeled ATV in 1970, and were famously portrayed in the James Bond movie, "Diamonds Are Forever". Dubbed the US90 and, later, the ATC90, it was designed purely for recreational use. It featured large balloon tires instead of a mechanical suspension. By the early 1980s, suspension and lower-profile tires were introduced. The 1982 Honda ATC200E Big Red was a landmark model. It featured both suspension and racks, making it the first utility three-wheeled ATV. The ability to go anywhere on terrain that most other vehicles could not cross soon made them popular with US and Canadian hunters, and those just looking for a good trail ride. Soon other manufacturers introduced their own models.
