When it comes to kids and motor sports, nothing gets them more excited than the popular pocket quad. This smaller version of the normal ATV bike has recently become a huge success in various countries around the world, mainly in the United States.
This is quite an upgrade for those who may have grown up with a plastic three-wheeler to roll through the neighborhood or backyard with. These kids quads are high powered, extremely versatile machines that run off of gasoline rather than Flintstones technology. Modern technology has increased what current manufacturers could ever imagine of by allowing the possibility to create such innovative kids quad ATVs on such a small scale.
Due to it's powerful single cylinder engine and advanced suspension, these pocket quad bikes are great for off-road activities. Most of the popular kids quad systems run off of an air-cooled transmission and are also very environmental friendly which is a plus in today’s growing 'green' culture. If interested in a pocket quad you can expect to reach speeds of up to 55 kilometers per hour and start up the engine with an electric push button. Another added safety feature of mini quads is the kill switch to conduct the power and a switch to stop any power to the engine in case of an emergency.
Since it's creation many companies have put out replica models of vehicles such as the Hummer and Land Rover. These are built on a pocket quad system with the visual effects of a shrunk down version of their favorite off-road vehicles. To power the electronics such as the headlights, start-up system, and taillights a long lasting battery is included that is recommended to change every 12 months. Newer models are being produced with built in tire pressure gauge to monitor the safeness even while riding through the backwoods.
Even kids now can enjoy these exciting and versatile machines with the introduction of the kids quad. Due to popular demand by our youth many models have been sent through production. These mini pocket quads come in a variety of colors and styles, some even include designs such as Spiderman, Batman, and The Hulk. Smaller children can even enjoy themselves with some models coming standard with heavy duty wheels for added support. These are recommended for children 2-7 due to the lessened power and increased safety features.
Many kids are now entering competitions with their kids quad or mini ATVs to show off their off road abilities. The majority of kids quad ATV's come with a lower power band for added safety. They are also required to wear a helmet at all times if under a certain age (Check your local and state laws for more information).
In the past few years there have even been public courses built that allow mini quad owners to visit and ride around for free or at a discounted price. As you can see, where you are a big kid or little, mini quad ATV's are available to you for an enjoyable experience in the outdoors.
