There are some great mid-sized utility ATVs on the market. These models are ideal for youth and teens and, in some cases, smaller adults.
Utility quads offer great versatility in that they can be used for off-road adventure but also around the house or farm for hauling, chores, towing, hunting or lots of other work-related activities.
These models feature larger tires, racks on the front and back, shorter suspensions and often have fewer bells and whistles. They have good ground clearance for effective and safe off-road use.
At www.familygokarts.com we feature a full line of utility quads that will be great for your youth rider — generally those in the 8-15 age group. Of course, the proper ATV for your youngster depends on several factors, including engine size, seat height and operational features. Parents and grandparents need to take into account the size of the child or teen, strength, athletic ability and maturity. Safety features to be considered include speed limiters, remote on-off and kill switches.
Parents and grandparents realize that safety is the top priority as children and teens learn to ride their ATV. With that in mind, here are several important steps to make this a fun and safe activity for the youngster and the entire family:
- Even though most quads have headlights, only ride during the day while learning.
- Find a large, wide-open and flat area when teaching youngsters to ride an ATV. The space also should be free of ponds and streams. This learning atmosphere will help promote confidence in the young rider.
- Youth should always wear long pants, love sleeves, boots and gloves when riding.
- A DOT-approved helmet and eye protection, such as goggles, should always be worn.
- Even though some quads provide seating for two, teens and children should always ride alone – without a passenger.
It is always a great decision for a parent or a grandparent to purchase a new quad for their youngster and then PERSONALLY supervise its use. This eliminates the concern that your young rider is operating an ATV in an unsafe manner under someone else’s less-than-safe guidance.
The great news is that buying a good youth utility quad doesn’t have to empty your pocketbook. Our Chinese models are well-built and can be purchased at a fraction of the cost of brands such as Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris or Yamaha. These affordable models are very similar to, and in some ways identical, to the expensive Japanese brands.
With that in mind, we invite you to take a look at some of the details of the Top Youth Utility ATVs for 2022:
