Scottery Factory - Ranger 110cc model.

My boys are 12 and 10. Any info on this company and or unit?
Would this unit be too small?

IMO too small
Go with the 200 cc Atv's with a manual clutch
The 110 are ok for smaller kids but in a few months they will be bored with it, and actualy the smaller 110 ATV's are quicker then the full size bikes with the little engine.
if the 200 is too much bike for them you can limit the power/speed using the throttle limiter screw on the thumb throttle housing

What about a kids predator 90 I have an 11 year old girl and she has never had her own motorcycle, would that small of a bike be better for her, not sure how fast they go, but I don't want her to outgrow it to fast, should I get something bigger for her? Any opinions..

Thanks

When I was 11 yrs. old my dad bought my brother and I a 1987 Kawaski 300 Bayou. 2x4 locking differential, black and orange. We wore the handle grips completely off that bike. The bike I had before that was a 1984 200 shaft Yamaha Tri-moto. So that being said I believe a 90cc or 110cc bike will get boring very fast for kids that age.

I think the Polaris Hawkeye or Yamaha Big Bear 250 are good choices and if you ever wanted to sell the bike you don't limit your resale customer base to parents buying for kids.

Best advice is to take the kids somewhere that they can sit on the actual machine. It's not a one size fits all thing, and the worst thing you can do is put them on a machine that is too big (can't reach all controls properly) or too small (cramped and even more topheavy).

Once you find a machine that seems to fit, just get the dimension specs, do some comparison shopping, and let them enjoy the new rides.
