People keep asking me this question. ATVs can be ridden by people of all age in perfect conditions. It is quite possible to pick up the understanding of ATV riding after we get old but certain tricky conditions may be too difficult to ride when our body fails to respond to our orders.
My wife rides tolerably well in our yard and so have done some of our elderly visitors in their 60’s. Riding in level ground may be pretty safe. While taking a turn while riding uphill or downhill may make one front wheel leave the ground. Even in level paths the trench like in the photo may make front wheel lift four inches above the ground. .
I have been telling friends of my age say around 50 who cannot drive four wheelers that they either learn to drive now and forget about driving in this life. There are innumerable cases where retired people who bought car and learnt driving late involved in serious accidents. Riding ATV in difficult terrain is much more complicated than driving a car. I will never be able to ride as good as my boys. So the answer to the above question has to be NO.
