Making a Can-Am Maverick X3 street legal will vary depending on the specific laws and regulations of your jurisdiction. In general, the following modifications and additions are commonly required:

Lighting:

Although your Maverick X3 came with lights, you’ll want to make sure that the headlights, taillights, and brake lights are compliant with the street-legal requirements in your area. Other light-related Can-Am Maverick street legal products you’ll likely need include turn signals and a light for your license plate.

Horn:

To be road legal, you’ll need to install a functioning horn for audible signaling.

License Plates:

Safety Features:

Factory Maverick X3s come with the following safety features. But if you bought your rig used and the previous owner tweaked it or removed things, ensure that the vehicle has a functioning speedometer, seat belts, and any other safety equipment mandated by local regulations.

It is essential to consult your local Department of Motor Vehicles or relevant authorities to understand the specific requirements and procedures for making your Can-Am Maverick X3 street legal in your area.

6. What are the must-have accessories for the Can-Am Maverick X3?

The choice of accessories for the Can-Am Maverick X3, X3 MAX, X3 Turbo, and X3 XMR can vary based on personal preferences and specific usage scenarios. However, some popular and recommended accessories for the Maverick X3 include:

Can-Am Maverick X3 roofs: A roof helps protect the occupants from sun, rain, and debris.

Can-Am Maverick X3 storage solutions: Depending on your needs, additional storage options such as cargo boxes, bags, and storage racks can be beneficial for carrying gear, tools, equipment, and more!

Can-Am Maverick X3 skid plates: Installing aftermarket skid plates helps protect the undercarriage and critical components from damage during off-road adventures. On rocky, rutted-out, or whoop-ridden environments, skid plates are life-savers!

Can-Am Maverick X3 tire upgrades: Consider high-quality, all-terrain tires for improved traction and durability in various conditions. You can get mud tires for the sloppy stuff, street tires for the blacktop, paddle tires for sand, or all-terrain tires for a little bit of everything.
