What is A Kids Quad Bike?
Millions of people around the world love to ride ATVs. One of the most popular types of ATVs is the quad bike. Quad bikes are great for both on road and off-road use. They can be used for fun, for transportation or for work around the farm. Many people who love their quads also want to get their children involved. That’s why ATV manufactures make children’s quad bikes. These quad bikes are smaller and less powerful. They are perfect for kids as young as 5 years old.
How Big Are Kids Quads?
Kids quad bikes are shorter than a full size quad. Most quads made for kids have seats that are about 24 inches high. Most have a shorter wheelbase and lower ground clearance. Even though these vehicles are smaller, they are generally just as capable as a full size ATV. Many are designed to haul thing and can tow small trailers.
How Powerful are Kids Quad Bikes?
Quad bikes made for kids are also less powerful then a full size quad. These less powerful bikes are much safer for inexperienced riders. Kids quads are usually between 50cc and 110cc. These bikes are generally recommended for kids age 6-16.
If your child is very young (age 6-11), a 50cc quad is perfect. These usually have a top speed of around 25 miles per hour. Many also come with remote kill switches for extra safety. This is a great feature when you are teaching a new rider how to ride a quad bike.
110cc quad bikes are great for ages 12 – 16. These quads will usually get up to 45mph. Once your child hits 16, they are usually old enough to handle a full size quad bike.
Getting a quad bike for your kids is a great way to teach responsibility and gives your family a great opportunity to bond practicing this great hobby. Check out a road legal quad bike guide to learn more about how to chose the right quad bike for your needs.
