Kid Friendly Atv??

[steemin]

Last Christmas we bought our two boys 4 wheel ATV's.
The boys were then 8 and 11 years old.
I looked at many different brands and models.
I usually go for name brand stuff ( I am a Bombardier guy!)when I buy mechanical motorized stuff.
However I found that there are several manufacturers that build "off brand" quads that are very nice at a fraction of the cost.
I ended up buying 2 90cc Eaton machines.
The 70cc and 90cc models utilize the same chassis. The model that we purchased uses a centrifical clutch (no gears/no shifting) and came with an adjustable govenor and the remote kill swith was also an option.. I bought quality full face helmets and make the boys also wear goggles while they are riding.
Now these quads can be dangerous. My kids have pretty good judgement and they do not ride unless my wife and I are around.
They have enjoyed many hours of riding their machines around our property. It has also given me a chance to show them how to do the minor maintenence items like changing fluids,tires,plugs,adjusting the slack out of the chain etc..I believe that it is also beneficial for young children to learn how to handle a motorized vehicle. I am confident that they will be better drivers when they get their licenses to drive cars because of this experience.
Have fun and be safe!
