Dirty White Trash
Chicom all the way. Fuck resale value, the fun value of a few beers and a bunch of adults doing timed laps or better yet 2 chicom 110s duking it out side by side is off the charts.
I am a firm believer that training wheels on everything is silly. All kids should start on a Strider with no pedals. They should be successfully riding that by 2-3 years old. When a kid is big enough to actually ride a dirtbike no training wheels are needed. Teach them to bail when in trouble :)
Add the CF Moto to the list. I started looking at them recently after seeing a few at my local dealer. They have a phone app that can limit speed and set a radius it can travel as well.Bump.
My 7 year old is turning 8 this month. I want to get him something to ride out at our land. Originally I was looking at used go karts, but am now leaning toward an ATV. I've thought about grabbing a chicom 110-125cc one as they run under $1,500 but, I have enough shit to work on that i'm leaning towards getting something name brand based on reliability (and resale).
I'm leaning toward a 110cc vs 70-90cc. I figure I can govern it down for a while and it would leave more room for them to grow into it.
Options:
Random chicom 125cc Link.
Suzuki z90 Link.
Kawasaki KFX 90 Link.
Honda TRX90X Link.
Can-Am Renegade 110 Link.
Polaris outlaw 110 Link.
Thoughts on 90cc vs 110cc for an 8 year old? *additional info, I have a 5 year old that will be riding too. Mind you, he is almost the same size as his older brother.
Are the name brand quads worth 2-3x the price?
I'm keeping an eye on marketplace too as i'm not apposed to buying used.
The name brand machines are worth it. The upfront cost is larger for sure but the back end resale is almost what they sell for new.For a kid, id lean towards a cheap chicom. The resale is crap, but he will probably outgrow it before it dies.
$1600 seems like a LOT.The sales pitch was essentially, the cheaper Kayo was better bang for your buck on youth ATVs. This one is $1,700 with no added freight or assembly. He said they (along with all dealers) have to tack on ~$1,600ish to all the other major brands for freight and assembly. So the Can-Am would be $3500 +$1,600 (then tt&l). The Kayo quads are distributed out of the Waco area assembled so they don’t add any fees.
I got my daughter a kfx90, She is 4 so she doesnt get to ride it by herself, but she controls everything with me riding and holding on. It hauls me and my daughter around which is 270 pounds. A 90 should be plenty for a 8YOBump.
