Whether you need a reliable safety kill switch, want to add left-hand throttle capability for a more comfortable or accessible riding setup, or just need a direct replacement for a worn control, Everything ATV has straightforward hand control solutions that do exactly what they're supposed to do.

Buyer's Guide for ATV Hand Controls: Helping You Shop!
The Kill Switch: Small ATV Hand Control, Important Job
A kill switch is your emergency stop. It's the thing you or a spotter reaches for if the ATV gets away from a rider, if something goes wrong on a steep section, or if the throttle sticks. Stock kill switches work fine until they get dirty, corroded, or mechanically worn, at which point they may not work when you actually need them. A top-tier aftermarket swap gives you invaluable piece of mind, knowing that your switch will do its job when it’s most important.
Left-Hand Throttle: Who Needs This ATV Hand Control and Why
Left-hand throttle setups are a much more common fixture than lots of ATV riders realize, and not all people who use them are in the same boat. Some people are unable to use their right hand to throttle. Others have other tasks they need to handle with the right hand. Some folks simply like how left-handed throttle control feels. Whatever your reason is for getting one, an intentionally designed left-hand throttle kit will integrate right into your controls and do its job consistently.
Keeping Your ATV Hand Controls in Good Working Order
Hand controls are high-use components. Plus, they’re very much on the front lines of that steady deluge of wate, mud and debris. This is why regularly inspecting your controls is key. Hand controls need to be one hundred percent reliable because the one time they don't work may be the moment you need them most. Replace worn or suspect components proactively rather than waiting for a failure on the trail.

ATV Hand Controls Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to have a kill switch?
Not everywhere, but in many locations (including many riding events), you need a working killswitch to gain entry. If your current kill switch is suspect, replace it before your next ride.
Does adding a left-hand throttle require major modifications to my ATV?
No. Quality left-hand throttle kits for specific models like the Vessel Powersports option for Honda ATVs are engineered for clean installation using existing mounting points and cable routing. No permanent modification to the ATV is required in most cases.
How do I know when my kill switch is headed for trouble?
If it feels “sticky” or if it doesn’t quite work as immediately or consistently as it used to, those are crucial warning signs that your switch may need replacement.
