buying my kids a 50cc atv for christmas,just starting to do research on which 1 to get,i am kind of nervous to buy the chinese models-kazuma,ect. how are hey as far as durability?,i would like to stick with a better know brand like suzuki or 1 of them,,if i buy name brand it will be a used one to save money,i would like to keep it right around $500
just would like to get some input from peope that own the type i'm looking to buy,,thanks in advance

 

sorry about the spelling,allergy medicine is kicking in,,a little light headed

 

For that kind of money your are going to have to get a chinese brand. In that small of a bike there is a few options you can take. look at www.racewayatv.com and see if you like anything there if so call John and he can go over all your options and put you in the best bike.

 

get a e-ton polaris kasea dinli xtreme they are 100 times better than any chinese quad and you can find a used one of these for $500 "dont buy chinese" you will not be happy with them

 

Lexustech,

How old and how big are your kids? Not ALL CHinese quads are junk. But for 500 I dont think you will find even a good used name brand. The Kazuma meerkat is a very tough little quad. Lots of power, easy to use but not much suspension and it is a small quad. Thats why I want to know about the kids.

 

MINIQUAD97,
Great job, buyer beware...you have all the knowledge when you open these doors. SEADAWG

 

oldest is 5-50lbs,,other 3-35lbs.. i would go a little higher on price,ecspecially if it means less headaches ,i dwfinately want 1 that has a throttle limiter,thanks

 

Look for one with a foot brake as well. Very important especially if your kid has
a hard time reaching the brake lever.

 

I would buy a kasea all of the after market dealers are gearing around them they have a foot brake and you can get every thing you need if you want to race you can get parts just about anywhere for them
