Thoughts about a 3 or 4 wheeler for 6 year old....
Not mine, I don't make those mistakes, neighbors kid Anyhow, he has a TAO TAO 110cc single speed quad and he is on my track all day every day. There are 9 jumpos including filled in doubles, banked corners etc, he can keep his speed up pretty quick.
He has 2 broken shocks on his quad, tires are shot, chain is out of adjustment, carb is riveted together and causing the motor to stall and he brought it over a day ago with a "clicking starter" issue.
This kid can ride, he will be 7 soon. I chase him and it just makes him faster. He is hitting some good sized jumps and this thing is falling apart. The A arms and tie rod ends are horribly cheap! I am always tightening things and there are no bushings in the A arms, it's built like a homemade go cart in many respects. Just bolts in tubes are "pivots".
So, we need to get him on something that actually has bushings/bearings and a manual shift (he has 1 gear centrifugal clutch) and it tops out very quickly.
He is trying to learn how to ride my suspended ATC70, I blew that shock out as well I'm not sure if he's ready for a trike just yet but I'm open to suggestions.
Trikes are getting very expensive, prices are constantly climbing now, IDK if I can find him a 110 or 125M and I've been thinking about a quad for him.
I was thinking 80's Fourtrax, but they are hard to find, I honestly think if I limit his throttle that he could ride a Blaster, they made a bazillion of them and they are 1000 - 1500$ for a decent , but no electric start...
He's a good rider, except he keeps looking back to see how close I am as he heads towards a tree, a big rock, a 30 foot double or one of their pigs that roam my track, I'm sure we can put him on something bigger.
Could someone suggest a new ride for this little twerp?? I want electric start, manual shift and nothing over 200CC. I want something made better (Japan), better suspension, bigger tires but still smaller framed, a headlight would be nice, disc or drum is fine... I can't recall every model out there, hoping someone has a good thought.
Thanks in advance for any input...
