Buyer's Guide for UTV Hand Controls: Helping You Shop!

Understanding Side-by-Side Hand Control Systems: What They Actually Do

Like all adaptive equipment, the goal of a UTV hand control system is to give the user complete control and comfort without sacrificing any safety whatsoever. A complete hand control system will take all of the major functions (throttle, brake, etc.) and move them to the level of your hands.

Our UTV hand control offering comes with everything you could possibly need, no matter what your desired riding setup is. Plus, we have adjustable and/or quick-release mounts to give you that much more freedom and convenience. Like these brands, our mission is to leave nobody (and we mean absolutely nobody) behind.

A Quick Review of UTV Hand Control Safety and Legality

Considering the safety implications involved with adaptive equipment, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure everything gets set up properly (and stays that way). Going with an experienced shop or garage is the best way to make sure that the system will stay put while at the same time accommodating the way you drive.

The legal requirements you may or may not be subject to when setting up a UTV hand control system can vary widely by state. Some areas require medical certification and other forms of documentation, while others are less strict on these points. In other words, just make sure to always check the regulations for your area before investing in a UTV hand control system.

Customizability Is King With UTV Hand Control Accessories

Controls should fall naturally within your comfortable reach without requiring stretching, awkward positioning, or constant muscle tension to maintain. Grip options matter too—some riders need spinner knobs for steering wheel control with limited hand function, while others can use standard steering. Paddle-style controls work better for some riders, while lever-style controls suit others better.

Resistance and feedback should match what the rider can comfortably operate. Controls requiring too much force fatigue riders quickly and may not be usable for people with limited strength. Controls with too little resistance or poor feedback make precise control difficult. Finding that exact balance is much easier when you have a high-quality UTV hand control system that allows you to adjust these parameters. Finally, many riders benefit from professional evaluation before purchasing adaptive equipment.

Hand Control Frequently Asked Questions

Will installing hand controls void my UTV warranty?

This depends on your manufacturer and dealer, but adaptive equipment installation could potentially affect warranty coverage for related systems. Some manufacturers are accommodating of medically necessary modifications, while others take a stricter approach.

Will I need a lot of training before using UTV hand controls for the first time?

This depends heavily on a number of factors, including whether or not you’ve used adaptive equipment before, your physical ability, and more. As a general rule, even highly experienced and capable riders should take at least a few hours to practice when getting a new UTV hand control system.
