Childrens Quad Bikes
If you are looking to find a suitable quadbike for your kids you have come to the right place. Here at childrensquadbikes.com we aim to give you the information and resources that will best equip you to decide which quad bike is right for your kid.
The first and most important thing to avoid any accidents is to make sure you buy a good quality quad bike. A lot of accidents are caused due to faulty parts and breakages. By buying a good quality well built quad in the first place you are at least minimalising this risk. This does not mean they need to be expensive just ask lots of questions to assess the quality such as warranty, guarantee, parts stocked, manufacturer etc.
Secondly you need to make sure you are buying a quad bike of appropriate size, I know you want to look at something they can grow into but this is not always the safest option. You would be better off buying one they can ride safely now and looking after it well and then part exchanging it for a bigger quad bike when they are ready. Ask yourself the following questions: Can they get on and off it easily? Can they reach the handle bars? Can they turn the steering? Can they reach the brake, clutch or accelerator?
Thirdly you need to look at the safety feature on the quad. Does it have a kill switch? Some kids quad bikes have remote control kill switches so if your child gets into trouble on the quad you can push a button on a remote to kill the engine and they role to safety. The one thing you have to be careful of here is that sometimes these remotes have a range so if they get to far away they wont work, it would be like trying to change the channel on your TV at the bottom of your road! The safest way is to have one that is operated via a cord so that you can hold it and give them more line as they gain in experience. This way they have to circle you and stay near. These helps teach them throttle control, braking and importantly to be observant! Another great safety feature on children’s quads is a throttle screw. This is a screw that can be wound in or out to regulate the amount of throttle they have available to use therefore you can restrict them to 2 mph until you are confident they have the hang of riding a quad.
Fourthly, ride it somewhere sensible. Do not use footpaths,roads or bridleways. Visit a quad centre or speak to a local farmer or land owner and use it in the middle of the biggest field you can that way if you child has any issues on a quad bike they have much longer to think for themselves and bring the quad under control.
Finally probably the most important point make sure that when you buy the quad you buy well fitting good quality quad accessories and safety equipment. The things you really must have are a helmet with goggles or vizor, gloves and ideally good quality boots. You are also able to purchase body armour which protects from stones and minor impacts. Again make sure these items are good quality and fit your child well.
Happy quad biking!
