Chinese Youth Quads Any Suggestions?
Well, first off, I know I should be buying a name brand quad but for $500 i figure my 2 girls ( 4 and 5 yrs old) can learn how to ride first on this and then I will upgrade them to a "real" quad.
Anyhoo, I have been reserching these little jokers for about 2 months now and I think I am going to order the Hawk 110 DLX from here: http://www.budgetatvs.com/category.cfm?category=atvs
Has anyone had any dealings with this company or better yet, does anyone own a Hawk 110 DLX? is so, could you please give me the pros and cons... Thanks.

I don't see any reason to not start with them. The cost of name brand ones is insane.
If you buy one keep us (me) posted. I too want to pick up some entry level quads for my boys and these look just right. Heck, a guy could buy 2 or 3 from the price of the name brands.

My neighbor got one similar to that, about 550 shipped to his house. his kids have ridden the living crap out of it for two years now. Electric start and the works. At least for the price, you can see if it will be worth getting a better one for them in the future.

I got a 50cc for my 1st son,4yrs ago and since my 2nd boy had it and my daughter will take over soon.My boys beat the p**s outta this thing and it needs a little carb work but she will bet her share of use from it I'm sure.And it was about $1500 cheaper than a known brand.I'm sure when shes done with it there won't be much left for resale but I don't care.

I bought one for my daughter from here./\ The quality is not the same as Japanese, but they are not bad. My little girl loves hers and it is holding up well. I bought the regular hawk with 16" tires. The suspension doesn't have much travel. The will turn over in a real tight turn when going at a higher speed.

hope this link works i'm not good at it but you can basicly get anything for these easier and faster than going to the nearest yamaha dealer 42 miles away for warrior parts.

Thanks for all the feedback and especially the link from Kelly15, That is the exact same quad as the one on the link I provided but for some reason that link also offers a 12 month warranty. SO, I will be ordering it from www.rightwayatv.com. Thanks for the tips...

RickG,
You are right. When I was a kid three wheelers were all the rage. I had a Honda 250R when I was 13 yrs. old. I raced it and understood the physics required to ride a three wheeler. That is when my modest racing career began and i have been racing every since. But, ALOT of people thought that since they had three wheels they were alot safer than dirt bikes. WRONG !! They quickly figured out this was not the case and the law suits quickly followed.

I own or have owned almost every name brand quad out there and my boys Kazuma 110 has held up better than most of mine. lol The boys have both since moved on to bigger bikes but zoom as they named it still fires right up and runs great.
The best advice I can give on these things is to research the parts avaiablity. Trust me on this, they all break sooner or later. I went with Kazuma because of this and have found parts at www.goscoot.com as well as Kazuma. com
Never really needed much in the way of parts though. They have crashed, sunk (before snorkles lol) ,flipped and just beat on this thing and it keeps on going.

Does anybody remember the 60 minutes show about the dangerous ATV's ? A family showed a 150cc an under 10 year old was on when he crashed - carrying full gas cans ! . A recent "USA Today" article mentioned injuries to a 2 year old ! . Proper training is required with any sport whether it is ATV riding , hunting , skiing , whatever . With proper training and responsible supervision ATV riding is no more dangerous than any other sport .

s cesnick, I'd also strongly suggest that you start your girls off on something a little smaller than a 110, that's an awful lot of bike for kids that small. My 7 year old is just moving up to a 70 because though he knows the rules, he doesn't always remember to follow them. Still has more throttle than fear.....
