atv for my boys
#1
I have a 2 and 3 year old I was at a atv and off road show and I saw a tiny little four wheeler. I believe it was a dyno but am obviosly wrong because no place in my town has ever heard of it. I would like to buy them both one if someone can please help me out.

where the gas or electric? The little "cheesy" electric ones can be found at toys-r-us for around $300 (i think). My sister-in-law has one that her 2 year old boy rides up and down the driveway. My 4 year old daughter is to big of it... The electric one are toys that will soon be grown out of...
As for gas powered you would be looking at a 50cc Quad. They come with restrictor plate that limit the top speed on the that can be remove as they grow into it. (down to 5 MPH, about the max speed of the electric one).
I found some on ebay. I looked at some in-town shops and they were about $1400 to $1800 for a 50cc quad. found the same thing on ebay for $700 to $900 depending on how the auction ended. go to ebay and search for "atv kids" and a bunch will pop up. Brands are KAZUMA model Meerkat 50 (the Kazuma is like a cheep version of honda to my understanding it uses honda replacement parts) or REDCAT, model 50.
One of the additional safty features on the Ratcat 50 is a engine kill cord. You can attach a string to the rear of the quad. and walk behind it. if he get outa control pull the cord and the engine stops.

I think E-ton was putting out a little 40cc bike (The Raskel???). IIRC it ran about $1,200 new.
My opinion is that unless you have some developmentally advanced kids, 2 or 3 years old is too young for any gas powered quad. I just don't think that the co-ordination needed for safe riding is there yet - even if it's a restricted bike running cicrles in the yard.
The electric ATV toys run about $125 to $150, but are only good on a smooth surface. They don't do well in grass but are good to teach the basics of steering.
Large 4 year olds - maybe. Age 5 - probably. 6 and up - yup.

Yeah they both have the electric/ battery powered one, but they can only be driven on the driveway. They are no good on the grvel or grass and don't even try it in this Alabama clay.
Thanks for your help.
