Kids Quad Bike Buyers Guide

!±8± Kids Quad Bike Buyers Guide

The first thing that you should consider when buying a kids quad bike is what kind of engine you require. There are 2 main types, based on how they derive their power for the engine, these being electric and petrol motor driven. Electric quads are generally suitable for very young children as they have low top speeds, are easy to ride, and require little or no maintenance. Electric quad bikes typically vary in power from 6v for the smallest vehicles suitable for ages 2+, up to 12v models for slightly older children. These types of bike are also very cheap, with prices starting from less than £100, so they can make great Christmas and birthday presents, and are an ideal starting point for those unsure about whether their children are ready for a more powerful option. The other main type uses a petrol engine, much like a motorbike. As such, these generate more power and therefore a higher top speed, as well as being more rugged, and able to withstand different types of terrain when ridden off road. These start with engine sizes of 49cc or 50cc, which offer a fun and exiting experience for the rider, without being capable of excessive top speeds, so they are perfect for enthusiastic beginners or children looking to step up from riding an electric quad.

Most children's quad bikes are not able to be ridden on public roads, and it is very important to bear your childs safety in mind at all times. Make sure you equip them with all the required safety gear, including protective clothing like knee pads, arm pads, and a helmet, especially if you are buying one of the more powerful varieties of quad bike. Appropriate supervision should also be provided at all times to make sure your child stays safe at the same time as having fun. There are several online quad bike retailers, although not many specialise in selling vehicles for kids. However, if you take the time to shop around and do proper research, there are some fantastic bargains to be had that will provide many hours of enjoyment for your kids!
