I'm in the same boat I've got a 4 and 5 year old. Started the oldest on an old LT 50 at 4 and he took right to it. We just bought him a new Suzuki LT 80, these things are so restricted they only go 5 - 6 mph, but you can fine tune the speed you want it to go by removing restrictors and adjusting throttle stops. We also just got the youngest a new Suzuki 50, not real impressed with it but its about the only 50 small enough for the smaller kids. If you look at the other brands of 50's you will notice that they are a lot larger than the Suzuki 50, they are actually the same size as the Suzuki LT 80. That is why we went ahead with the 80. I've got more info if you would like email me at Sportflr@aol.com I also wouldn't worry to much about the cost of the popular brands because if you get a good deal on one you won't loose much on it when you sell it.

 

RedReconRider, didn't you say you liked the Raptor 80? I listed that one! My daughter would be sooooo proud to have a bike like her Daddy's, I would just worry that an 80 is too big for her.

I am going to go to one of the dealers in town today and put the kids on assorted bikes/sizes to see how they fit them first. That way when I look at the cycle trader I know what I am looking at!

I am actually worried that this whole kids' quads thing will send me to the loonybin with a nervous breakdown! Can they ride effectively encased in a padded steel bubble? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] What if they hit a bump? Or a stick? Where is my Prozac????


Sportflr, I will be e-mailing you shortly!
