Do ATVs Need Registration

[erick_214]

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to buy an ATV, does it still need to be registered to be able to drive around town?

TnX...

Good question, I've been wanting one as well, but I'm hesitant at baka impound ang abutin ng ATV. If you use in on public roads, it has to be registered AFAIK. Wala ata classification sa LTO ang ATV, or I stand corrected.

My grandfather import ATVs for almost 7 years now. There's no LTO classification for ATV, that's correct. It doesn't need registration. You can't use it in main roads. Which you don't have to anyway, because most ATV tires have limited traction on paved roads.

AFAIK, with in subdivision or basically off road, no need to register. I beleive even using it in the provinces, even sa main road should not be a problem. I see it roaming around the streets of Boracay , for hire pa.

But dito sa Manila or surrounding provinces of the Metro, takaw huli sa mga TE or MMDA source of kotong.

If you are going to use it within the city. I suggest you get an ATV with paved road friendly tires. There are some available sports tires for ATVs like this.



235/30R-12 tires

Who would want to drive an ATV in EDSA anyway? :grin2: :bike:

i do not know. certainly, you would need safety equipment like headlights, signal lights, brake lights..
but if motorcycles and scooters need to be properly registered if it were to run on public roads, i suppose your atv, which can be interpreted as two motorcycles welded side by side, should also be... provided they have the requisite headlights, tail lights, signal lights..
sabihin mo na lang pag sinita ka, "kuliglig po ito, napintahan lang ng super kinis.."
heh heh.

ATVs 110cc and up , really have those safety features.

My wife's uncle has two in Pampanga, 250cc ata. Ginagamit sa farm at pamalengke. Di naman nasisita nga mga barangay tanod, mangha pa nga sila nung unang ginamit. hehehehe

[erick_214]

Actually gusto ko lang sana gamitin pamalengke at pang grocery. Minsan kasi may kailangang bilhin isa hanggang 2 bag lang nakakatamad ilabas yung kotse lalo na pag nakatakip. Naiisip ko tuloy bumili ng scooter atleast may compartment, pero nung nag-browse ako nakita ko yung mga atv na nasa P80K lang naman so saktong-sakto para sa iniisip ko. Yun nga lang hindi ko alam kung huhulihin ako pag yun gamit ko, I'm from Marikina nga pala.

i think they still need to be registered imho para wala na lang maging problema.
basta it will be using public roads, dapat i register.

The problem though is we think lto doesnt have a category for atv. Will it be classified as a car or a motorcycle?

May nakita ako na ATV dati may motorcycle plates siya.
Anyways, anong engine oil ng ATV? Hindi ba mahirap sa maintenance?

[MrQ5]

wala yata talaga classification ang atv, pero meron locally assembled na atv similar to honda wave engine, 70k few years then. No brand name atv. Sa sulit din yata nabili iirc sa Marikina yung seller.

i think the classification is a motorcycle, for I've seen some ATVs sporting motorcycle plates.
better inquire from LTO to be sure. mas mahirap ma hassle kung walang rehistro eh.

No classification dude. Seriously. Kundi, ang dami na siguro nag reklamo sa amin, we are not issuing plates for our ATV releases. ;)

Sir erick,

ATV's are exempted from registration, but it is not allowed to be used in Major roads or highways. Most ATV's today are equipped with safety devices that are useful in off-road conditions. It was designed to be used in those areas anyway. My Brother has an ATV which he uses everywhere, but it is in the province. Given we are here in Manila, were traffic law is strictly enforced (suppose to be ), You may only use the ATV within your village area, I would not recommend the ATV to be used on highways or major roads as enforcers will flag you down. I would suggest a scooter with a basket up front instead.
