Wait, Does This Brand New ATV Have A Manual Gearbox?

Access Motor has been around for about two decades, building ATVs and UTVs out of Taiwan while the rest of the world was busy arguing about Polaris vs Can-Am vs the Japanese big four. It launched in the early 2000s and never really made it to the spotlight. Instead, it focused on exporting solid, no-nonsense machines to Europe and other markets where regulations are tight and customers want the most bang for their buck. That's a big deal, because surviving in those markets means your stuff actually works.

Now it’s setting its sights on the US, and this isn’t some half-baked attempt. Per our friends over at UTV Driver,  Access Motor filed an ATV Action Plan with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It's also getting EPA certification for multiple 2026 models. And so it's obvious that Access isn’t just testing the waters. It’s committing to the same safety, emissions, and training standards as the big players. That alone puts it in a different league from the usual wave of unknown bargain bin imports.

So what’s it bringing to the table?
