How to Identify an Eton 2001 ATV
Eton is one of the leading manufacturers of ATV type vehicles. The main corporation is housed in Japan, though in the U.S. and other parts of North America, the company is known as Eton. In 2001, the company made a total of seven different ATV models each with their own identifying features. If you’re tempted to purchase one of these vehicles for yourself you’ll need to make sure you’re buying an authentic Eton 2001 ATV and not one of the imposters.

Look for bright primary colors. Unlike other ATV manufacturers that choose solid black or chrome accessories, Eton uses bright colors on their models. Red, yellow, green and blue are the top choices for 2001. You may also notice that they sometimes mix the primary color with some silver accessories, though they won’t use chrome.

Make sure the ATV has an electric kick starter as well as an automatic choke. These two features are found on all models of Eton ATVs from 2001. You might find these features on ATVs made by other companies, but they came stock on Eton models.

Check the front suspension and see if it has an A-arm independent front suspension. Eton began using this type of suspension on their ATVs because it uses separate shocks. This makes the ride smoother and also increases safety. You’ll find it on all 2001 models.

Examine the wheels to see if you find a large wheel base with wide wheels. While an owner may have customized their tires and wheels, Eton always used a large wheel base and wide wheels on their stock models in 2001.

Ensure that all the typical Eton additions are on the ATV. These additions include an onboard tool box, quick release seat latch, flag holder, full floorboards, horn and space on the back of the ATV for a rear rack. These features came stock on Eton models from 2001, while other manufacturers didn’t include all the features.
