well i don't know

I don't think they need it b/c none of the atv's are all time 4x4. so all you have to do is switch to 2x4 if you are too weak to turn the quad when it is in 4x4.
It would just be a unneeded feature that would just make them cost more.
we lived without out it as long as we know. i never heard anyone say " man i really wish i had electric steering".

well since there isn't such a thing I would say that they won't be using it.

Do you live under a rock?


Anyways, I agree with the guy above..It isn't a needed thing and will make the bikes cost even more. EPS isn't all its hyped up to be IMO.

Power steering uses electronics to help assist it and uses a pressure regulator to tell how much fluid and pressure is needed and the results are sent from the ecu and it tells the power steering information so if you still think I live "UNDER A ROCK" then go ahead and think that...I would say power steering isn't needed since there isn't the bump steer like you find on other quads and it isn't necessary and would just add more weight.

that is how a car works.

The one they develope for the atv's (the grizzely) is an elctric motor that has sensors on it when someone turns it helps out 50%. It is on there website under the 700 they have a little vid on the elctric streeing.
this system is all mechanical no fluids.

so that is why they call it electric power steering because they use a electric motor to do the steering.

man i hate it when parents don't control there kids after school is out.
