Why Safety Gear is Important
TrailMaster vehicles are designed for outdoor fun, adventure, and performance—but proper safety gear is a must. Whether you're riding a go kart, dirt bike, mini bike, or UTV, wearing the right equipment helps protect riders from debris, impact, weather, and unexpected terrain.
Every rider—kids, teens, and adults—should be equipped with the basics:
DOT-approved helmets
Goggles or protective eyewear
Gloves
Long-sleeve jerseys
Sturdy shoes or boots
Seat belts (on all karts/UTVs)
