Hoot ETV is designed for one operator only. Never carry a passenger.
Hoot ETVs are for off-road use only. Never operate a Hoot ETV on paved surfaces. Never operate a Hoot ETV on public roads.
Protective clothing is a necessity. Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and a long sleeved shirt or jacket.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or during Hoot ETV operation.
Avoid excessive speeds. Travel at a speed appropriate for the terrain, visibility conditions, and your experience.

It is important to check your state or provincial laws on the operation requirements of off-road vehicles, such as vehicle registration, age restrictions and required equipment and gear. Note: Hoot ETV riders must be 18 years of age.
