5 Tips For Newbie Quad Bike Riders
Here are five helpful tips that every first-time quad bike rider should know:
Understand the Risks and Safety Guidelines
Safety is the first and most important thing to remember when riding a quad bike. These are open vehicles, and driving them in tough desert terrain always poses a risk of accidents and mishaps, which can result in fatal injuries if you are not careful. So it is important to drive carefully and at a safe speed limit.
More importantly, wear the safety equipment provided by the tour company. This includes a helmet, a pair of gloves, and goggles. Please ensure that the equipment fits you properly and is not too tight or loose, which might make the riding experience a little uncomfortable.
Book Guided Tour Package
First-time riders who are unfamiliar with quad bikes but have experienced riding one before should definitely book the ‘Guided Tours’ package. This package offers training from an expert guide who can teach them all the basics of quad biking and how to handle and drive in tough desert terrain. Along with training you also get specific safety instructions too.
These guides have several years of experience and understand what difficulties newbie riders might face and how to train them accordingly. Plus, it takes little to no time to understand quad bikes because the controls are mostly the same as those on a regular bike.

Wear Appropriate Clothing
Clothing choice also matters a lot when going on quad bike adventure rides. You’ll be off-roading in desert areas where the temperatures are hot, and the environment is very dusty, so you must dress properly to feel relaxed and comfortable in these conditions.
Wear something lightweight and comfortable, preferably made from cotton or linen. These materials keep the body cool even in scorching weather conditions. The best combo is T-shirts with shorts or trousers. Women can wear beige tops with pants.
As far as footwear is concerned, wear close-toed shoes like boots that fully cover the feet and protect them from hot sand and dust. Avoid heels or flip-flops because they are not suitable for the desert environment.
Pack Some Essential Items
Besides appropriate wearing clothing you will also need some other essential items for your quad bike tour that are not provided by the tour company. These include sunscreen lotion to protect your skin, sunglasses, and a hat for your face and eyes.
Bring some motion sickness medicine for the tour if someone in the group gets motion sickness or feels nauseous due to the bumpy nature of the ride. This is especially true for those who are riding for the first time.
Lastly and most importantly, bring a camera to capture the beautiful desert sights and other memorable moments from the tour.
Drink Water and Take Rest
Quad bike rental Dubai is a very physically exhausting activity since you’ll be driving in the desert areas under hot/warm weather conditions and you’ll probably feel thirsty and dehydrated. Therefore, it is important to drink water and take short breaks during the tour to give your body proper rest. Otherwise, you might feel too exhausted.
Bring plenty of water for the tour. It shouldn’t be too difficult. Most tour companies provide their guests with water at the campsite as part of their package so they don’t have to bring their own.
Conclusion
These are five important tips to remember when going for a quad bike ride for the first time. Quad biking is one of the most exciting and adventurous activities to try in Dubai, and therefore, you must come prepared to deal with the challenges here and make the most of your experience.
