I have a friend that is in the market for an atv. He is missing his right arm, but is more than capable of operating an atv if the throttle can be rigged over to the left side of the bars. Our other wants are:

* One brake lever located on left side that controls front and rear braking.

* Automatic tranny
* Indep Rear Suspension would be a plus also.
* Four stroke

He will be running on 4wd roads in the mountains for the most part. We are aiming towards a 4wd also, although I realize a 2 wheel drive would be easier to steer.

Does the Rubicon have auto tranny, Indep rear suspension, brake lever on left that controls front and rear braking, Switch that enables you to switch to 2wd or 4wd, Is it fairly easy to steer?

We are leaning towards a Polaris machine (Sportsman 400), but want to look into all of our options. Thanks.

 

Maybe something like a mule would be better.
Im sure you could extend the brake cabel adn throotle cable and mov eit to the other side

 

I seen a guy with no right leg and no right arm rideing a yamaha breese 125, he just moved the throttle to the other side and uses his index finger to give it throttle as its upside down. Yes the rubicon has a auto tranny, but one arm rideing would be easyer on a smaller machine..
