Utility ATVs can be ideal for youth and teens because of their great versatility.
They are great for off-road adventure, but also can be used around the house or farm for hauling, chores, towing, hunting or lots of other work-related activities. And, of course, they are fun!
Utility quads 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.
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 our Top 5 Mid-Sized Utility ATVs for 2021:
