Claims22
A utility vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of ground-engaging members;
- a frame assembly supported by the ground-engaging members and extending along a longitudinal axis defining a longitudinal centerline of the utility vehicle;
- an operator area supported by the frame and including a seat for an operator having a seat bottom and a seat back, and at least a portion of the seat bottom being positioned to a first side of the longitudinal axis;
- a steering assembly including a steering wheel positioned on the longitudinal axis;
- a throttle input positioned below at least a portion of the steering assembly;
- a brake input positioned below at least a portion of the steering assembly;
- a shifter positioned to a second side of the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a plurality of operator controls configured to control operation of the utility vehicle, the plurality of operator controls being positioned to a second side of the longitudinal axis, wherein the operator controls are different from the steering assembly, the throttle input, the brake input, and the shifter.
