An off-highway vehicle is a motor vehicle designed primarily for off-highway and all-terrain use. The definition names all-terrain motorcycles and any motor vehicle used on public lands for recreation, and it leaves out vehicles registered for road use under chapter 482. It does not mention the power source.

An owner must title and register an off-highway vehicle with the DMV within 30 days of acquiring it. Exemptions include a vehicle operated or stored on private land. Registration runs for 1 or 3 years at a fee the Commission sets between $20 and $30 a year. The chapter allows riding on any public land, trail, way or unpaved county road unless the agency in charge prohibits it.

Chapter 490 requires a helmet when an off-highway vehicle is driven on a highway under its limited on-road rules. Its rules of operation set no separate helmet rule for riding off-road.

Chapter 490 sets no statewide minimum age. Where a city or county designates a highway for off-highway vehicles, it may require riders under 16 on that highway to be under the direct visual supervision of someone at least 18.

Riding on a paved highway that is not designated for off-highway vehicles is prohibited, except to cross it, to load or unload nearby, in an emergency, or on a designated trail connector of 2 miles or less. Where on-road use is allowed, the rider needs a valid driver's license, the vehicle needs a headlamp, tail lamp, rear reflector, stop lamp and working muffler, and it may never use an interstate or run more than 2 miles on a paved highway.

Since 2021 an electric bicycle is defined in NRS 484B.017 as having fully operable pedals and a motor that produces not more than 750 watts, and meeting one of three class definitions. Nevada's moped definition leaves electric bicycles out.

This page restates state law in plain words and links the text it came from. It is not legal advice. Cities, counties and the agencies that manage federal land (the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service) add rules of their own, so check with whoever manages the ground you plan to ride.
For a young rider, the before-you-ride checker puts the helmet and age rules first.
Statutes change. Each answer carries the date it was checked; the page is re-checked at least every 180 days and says "Review due" if that slips.
