I'm just about to buy a Suzuki 50 or a Polaris 50 quad for my son. He is very short, and won't fit on anything else. Plus he is a terror on 2 wheels, so I can't get him anything bigger, for safety reasons.

Any opinions on the better buy? My dealer says $1900 OTD price, any price deals out there?

 

The Polaris has a cvt (continously variable transmission) and the Suzuki is a single speed. The Polaris gets my vote between the 2.

 

Polaris.

 

What are your plans for using it?

 

Saturdays are for the 6 year old. Light trail riding and fooling around.
Sundays are for the 8 year old. More advanced hill climbs and log adventures.
Friday afternoons are for Dad and his buddies from work.

I need to make sure the Polaris goes at least 25mph,t aht is what he is used to, and needs to be at least that.

 

Better buy an bigger quad then. Eton 70 would get my vote.

 

He can't fit on an E-Ton. Tried that one first.

 

I jsut got the Venom 70 for my daughter who is very small. She is 7, but is shorter than all the kids in her class and the Venom 70cc fits her fine. It goes fast, and can be regulated down. It is also $848 delivered.

 

The problem I have with the Chinese quads is he can't use the brakes. Fingers aren't long enough. I'll see if I can find a Venom in town to look at.

 

That is a downfall of the Venom. I am working on a new handbrake for hers, I think I can find something easy enough though.
