A gear-shifting safety device is provided for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), including a gear lever, a gear-shifting hub shaft, a gear-shifting gear set, and a reversing bar. An end of the gear-shifting hub forms a step on which a block is provided. The block and the step form a stop face therebetween. The reversing bar has an end forming a stop section that is positionable on the step and is selectively in abutting engagement with the stop face so that to change to the reversing position, the reversing bar must be first actuated to disengage the stop section thereof from the stop face, allowing the switching fork to move to the reversing position on a position chute of the gear-shifting hub, thereby eliminating the damage of accidentally switching to reversing during the forward movement of the vehicle.
A gear-shifting safety device for an all-terrain vehicle, comprising a gear lever, a gear-shifting hub shaft, and a gear-shifting gear set, the gear-shifting gear sets being provided with a switching fork, characterized in that a reversing bar is arranged at an end of the gear-shifting hub shaft, the reversing bar being controlled by a control member to selectively take lateral movement, the gear-shifting hub shaft forming a step on which a block is provided, the reversing bar being positioned on the step and in abutting engagement with the block, whereby when the control member is driven, the reversing bar is caused to take the lateral movement and thus disengaging from the block of the gear-shifting hub shaft to allow the switching fork to switch to a reversing position on a position chute of a gear-shifting hub on the gear-shifting hub shaft.
