Anyone can give me more reviews?

Unless you want to spend all your time wrenching and repairing the quad avoid it. It's a Chinese quad. They have horrible reliability. Look in the Chinese quad section if you want to see what you'd be in for.

You'd be better off buying a 20 year old used Japanese quad.

What are you going to use it for and who will the rider be? If you're looking to use as a work horse or a racer, then you should look elsewhere. If you're not going to do any jumps or crazy terrain, a chinese model may work out just fine for you. If you're purchasing for a child, he/she may outgrow it before any major repairs are needed. It might be a cheap way to get an idea of whether atvs are your thing without having to pay big bucks. Don;t expect them to hold much resale value though when it's time to upgrade.

If you buy it go through the whole thing checking to see if the nuts and bolts are tight.

I'd stay away and look for a used Japanese machine. Like moose said, a 25 year old Honda/yamaha/suzuki will most likely be more reliable than a 2015 model year knockoff.

Run, you are far better off buying an older name brand atv in the long run. Ask me how I know.

Those chinese machines are tempting to buy but even brand new they require lots of maintenance. You can't really go by the reviews posted on amazon either. I just read them and most people bought this a gift so they have no idea how reliable it is. They just bought it because it was cheap. You'd be better off buying an old used Honda Recon or something similar. I would never recommend buying something like this online in the first place. There are dealers that sell these so at least if something goes wrong, you at least have some place to take it to and they have technicians who know how to and are willing to work on them. And you don't have to finish putting it together either as they come not completely assembled and there's always the possibility that something is missing or damaged and then you have to hope that they will fix or replace it.
