Side By Sides For Sale Near Columbus, OH

A side-by-side is one of the most powerful and versatile vehicles you can get. These powersports vehicles have only become more popular since their development during the 1980s, allowing families to go on recreational off-roading rides and workers to get challenging tasks done more efficiently. John Hinderer Honda Powerstore is your local side-by-side dealer in Heath, OH. Read on to learn all about side-by-sides and how they can be used.
 

A side-by-side, also known as a utility task/terrain vehicle (UTV), is a type of powersports vehicle designed for off-road use. About a third the size of a typical passenger car, UTVs are somewhat similar in that they are operated with gas and brake pedals and a steering wheel. However, they differ in that they have knobby tires designed for off-road riding and they are open to the air, without the solid metal and glass casing of a typical passenger car.

Some side-by-sides may have canopies or half-doors to provide some form of closure and protection from the elements, and they may also be equipped with windshields. Seatbelts come standard for safety on the bench or bucket seats arranged in rows of two, with passengers sitting side by side (hence their alternative name). There may be anywhere from one to three rows of seats to accommodate two to six passengers at a time.

Side-by-sides have high towing capacities and can be outfitted with a winch to tow trailers or pieces of equipment if necessary. These vehicles also contain a cargo space at the rear for tools or gear, along with space between the seats for storage.
 

Many people use side-by-sides for their work since these vehicles are capable of accessing far more terrain than a car or truck. Construction workers might use a utility vehicle to transport workers and their tools across a muddy work site. Forestry workers might use one to drive through the underbrush for surveying. Landscaping companies may use a UTV for hauling trailers of loose materials like soil or gravel or even saplings and bushes for planting. Farmers can use UTVs for all sorts of agricultural work, from hauling feed and manure to building a fence.

But side-by-sides aren’t limited to work uses. These vehicles are also perfect for outdoor recreational activities like hunting, off-roading, and camping. You can ride UTVs on nature trails and through off-roading parks. Take the whole family along for the adventure!
