"As an avid rider, I love being able to share the joy of riding with my family, but as a parent, I also want to ensure I'm creating a safe envirnoment where my kids can have fun, learn and gain experience driving off-road vehicles," said Chris Musso, president of Off-Road Vehicles, Polaris.

Using the RIDE COMMAND app and the vehicle's digital display, adults can set riding boundaries for kids using the geofencing feature.

The RANGER 150 EFI's Passcode Protected Safe-Start system controls who is operating the vehicle, and when it's operated. Equipped with a seatbelt interlocking system, the vehicle limits max speed to six mph until the seat belt is engaged. Additional features include a high visibility flag, two helmets, a protective cage, safety nets and LED daytime-running lights and tail lights.

Available in Solar Red, the RANGER 150 EFI offers seating for two and is powered by an electronic fuel-injected 150cc engine giving youth riders aged 10 and up the fun of driving their own off-road vehicle. Tilt steering and a 5.7-inch seat slider provide adjustability for growing riders, while the 8-inch ground clearance and 22-inch all-terrain tires help navigate tough terrain. The RANGER 150 EFI boasts 50-pound rear box capacity and offers roof, full and half windshield, and front and rear bumper as accessory options.
