A conversion package allows the operation of an off-highway vehicle on public roads. This typically includes components necessary to meet local and federal requirements for on-road safety, such as lights, mirrors, and turn signals. For example, these packages enable vehicles originally designed for agricultural or recreational use to be driven legally on paved surfaces.
The availability of these packages expands the utility of the base vehicle, providing users with transportation options beyond their original intended application. Historically, modification of off-road vehicles for street use was a complex and often non-compliant process. These kits streamline this process, offering a standardized and often certified path to compliance with relevant vehicular regulations. This standardization also facilitates insurance and registration processes, potentially reducing costs and administrative burdens for the vehicle owner.
