Why Small-Engine Rigs Rule Mississippi This October

Mississippi is home to some of the best cruising and state fair and fall trails in the nation this October, thanks to small-engine rigs.

For Mississippi, October is the best time of the year to enjoy outdoor living! October is full of activities around the Magnolia State, from the large 30th annual Cruisin' The Coast along the Gulf Coast, the Mississippi State Fair in Jackson, to SEC game-day tailgates in Oxford and Starkville, and the opening week of fall hunting season.

But when it comes to event traffic in a heavy pickup truck or full-sized SUV, it can quickly become a stressful parking headache.

That's why smart Mississippians are improving their fall routines! Local riders are enjoying full freedom these days thanks to a combination of the super-economical street scooter for coastal cruising and game-day traffic with the rugged trail quad or dune bugger for backcountry hunting.

Every day, we at Mississippi Power Sport help riders prepare for fall adventures throughout the State of Mississippi. Here's your ultimate October mobility guide in Mississippi!

1. Drive Through and Bypass Traffic for a Fun Afternoon at the Coast & State Fairs

Searching for parking in a full-sized truck is a waste of time and fuel, no matter if you're cruising the coast on Highway 90 or driving to the State Fairgrounds in Jackson.

Event transportation is made easy with a light 2-wheeler:

• Boardwalk and Event Parking: Parking becomes a breeze near beach boardwalks and venue entries, and parking lot access is provided to designated motorcycle parking spots; parking lots are able to accommodate cars to circle for 30 minutes.

• 50cc Moped Scooters: Folding 50cc moped scooters have a best mileage of 90 to 100+ MPG and are ideal for coasting up the drive or down the campus path. A standard driver's license is required to ride a 49cc/50cc bike in Mississippi.

• 150cc Highway-Capable Mopeds: Need faster top speeds on multi-lane thoroughfares such as Beach Boulevard or on Highway 49? A 150cc moped will maneuver easily at 55 to 60+ mph and will get 75+ MPG.

• Factory Street-Legal Outfitting: Every street legal moped is ready to be legally registered on the streets, with all high and low beam headlights, turn signals, dual mirrors, tail lights and horn provided straight from the factory.

Today's mopeds and scooter bikes can save enough money in gas and parking expenses to pay for themselves.

2. Fall Hunting Season & Backcountry Lease Work

October brings the time of year for Mississippi hunters to go to timber leases, pine bottoms and wildlife management areas for archery and muzzleloading seasons.

A heavy-duty trail rig makes hunting lease chores and trail navigation easy:

• Utility Workhorse ATVs: The rugged utility 4 wheeler is fitted with front and rear steel racks – hauling corn feed sacks, toolboxes, deer stands, or gear across muddy bottomlands is a breeze!

• Agile Trail Dirt Bikes: To scour field borders, to ride around dirt tracks or drive around the narrow forest paths, a lightweight two-wheel agility of the 125cc dirt bike is required.

• High-Revving Sport ATVs: The sport ATV is ideal for those with a thrill-seeking nature who enjoy explosive throttle response and wide-stance cornering for pure adrenaline over sand dunes and dirt jumps—like a racing 4 wheeler.

Looking for ATVs that are affordable, then the lineup at Mississippi Power Sport is the one with heavy-duty 4-stroke power and steel frames at direct-to-door prices.

3. Fall Family Pumpkin Patch & Off-Road Trail Trips

October is the month to develop family traditions: whether it's going to the local pumpkin patch, family-friendly corn mazes or enjoying a sunny weekend at a trail park. Give each child their own starter car and fall weekends a memorable ride!

• Starter Quads for Kids: Beginner 110cc youth ATVs are equipped with automatic transmissions, low seat heights and built-in parental safety features such as throttle speed limiters that can be adjusted by parents and wireless remote engine kill switches to ensure complete safety for young beginners learning to control their steering.

• Family Dune Buggies & Go-Karts: The dune buggy with steel roll cages, multi-point safety harnesses, and car-style pedal controls is ideal for siblings, friends or parents to ride side by side safely in the dune buggy trail network as an off-road buggy cruiser.
