Default Time to move up


I'm looking to purchase a quad that I can transition my 6 year old triplets to as well as have my 8 year old enjoy. We started my boys out on a quadsport 50 which was perfect. Very stable and not too fast. I'm going to keep it for a while. The triplets are average size and have varying degrees of riding ability. The 8 year old is quite comfortable on the quadsport 50.

Had the 8 year old on my on a T-Rex 90 as well as Honda 90. While he did OK they were a bit much for him. Looking for something in a either a 50 or 90 with a moderate size frame/weight and a little more power. I’d like to be able to get one or two of my six year olds on also this spring.

Looking a the E-ton 50 and 90 and Polaris scrambler 50. Also considering the quadsport 80 as it appears to a bit lighter than some of the 90's and with lower center of gravity. Kasea looked good but I did not like the open footguard. Dinli 50 looks too small and the 90 too big. Polaris predator 50 looks real good but I don’t want to pay Polaris 04 prices.

Any advice?

Thank you

We just got out little guy the Predator 90. He is 6.5 yrs. old and is about 4ft. tall. I find this bike to be a perfect fit and with the throttle screw in all the way and the cdi jumper left in tact this is the best starter quad for him. He does not have a ton of experience on these Like your son does, but he is doing great. Look into the predator...when buying new they are a little pricey but worth it imo. I picked this unit up on ebay and got a good deal. There are a few on there now. Goodluck in your quest.

Simple solution. Get a Kasea, LRX, Polaris or other modern youth 90 and install that brand's 50cc tires and rims. It is the only physical difference between the 50 and 90. Your ride height will be about 2" lower. That way, when the rider grows, you can simply put the 90 tires back on and you are not looking for yet another machine.

LEM CAYMAN IS THE BEST MINI QUAD OUT THERE IN MY OPINION, THEY ARE LIGHT WEIGHT, AND HAVE 2 MODELS CONDOR AND CAYMAN. MY SON HAS A CAYMAN AND HE WEIGHTS 130lbs AND HELD UP OK. THEY ARE EASY TO KEEP UP, AND DON,T NEED MUCH TO MAKE RUN FASTER.

Raptor720 is right on the money. I would have done the same thing if I didn't have two other boys to grow into the 50. They will outgrow the 50 way too fast!
