Utility ATVs can be ideal for youngsters (and teens) because of their great versatility.
Mid-size models are perfect for use around the home or farm for hauling, chores, towing, hunting or tons of other work-related activities. But they also are ideal for fun off-road adventures.
Utility quads usually feature larger tires, racks on the front and back, shorter suspensions and often have fewer bells and whistles. They have excellent 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, long 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.
The exciting news is that buying a good youth utility quad doesn’t have to break the bank. 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 our most popular Mid-Size Utility ATVs:
