I'm considering a 300ex for my wife. I'm concerned it might be too small, and as a result, too tippy.
She is 5' 8" and 130lbs. Should I be looking for another style quad?
I have a 400ex she rides in the dunes well, but in the dirt she has a tendancy to get stuck on hills and tight spots because she kills the engine and starts to freak out about the clutch. I have already convinced myself I need fully automatic or semi-auto like the 300ex. A Polaris Scrambler 500 is my first choice, but the $5900 price tag tells me different.
Any input?

 

The 300EX is a manual clutch, just like your 400. Are you thinking of the 250EX, which has an autoclutch???

 

you are correct, I'm thinking of the 250. She can sorta handle the manual clutch, but my fear is she'll become frustrated/scared keeping the fun factor low. If she can hop on and push with her thumb, that's it, she'll do great.

 

The 250 is plenty roomy for her. I am 5' 7" 200 lbs, and it's not cramped at all. In stock form, the 250 is a bit tippy, and "pushes" a little in corners. I replaced the stock tires with Holeshots, and it cured both problems real quick.

 

I'm 5'7" 180lbs and it's not too small for me. The stock Dunlops make
it a little "tippy" but she's got some decent giddy up. Got it up to 50 mph
on wet grass. Great beginner quad in my opinion.

 

i think the 250ex would be fine for her. In my opinion the polaris 500 is fast but it is up on two wheels to much

 

i cant imagine any polaris up on 2 wheels...
