    I picked up this tri-zinger off cl . totally impressed!!! this thing hauls butt , with me on it and im 275lbs. oh yeah and the children love it too.

    starts on the first pull and no cracks in the plastic. $320 I think this will last a lot longer than one of those Chinese pos"s, right? 83 model I believe

    That is totally awesome!! I have never seen one in person but knew they existed that size. Whats the engine size on them? I take it they are comparable to the ATC70.

    Really nice grab for the price i think, it's already outlasted the Chinquads..

    they call it a 60 , but think its actually 59cc

    yes comparable to the atc70 but this has only one gear. don't let that fool you cause its awesome. I think this will take a 70 off the line , but on a long stretch a 70 prob beat it since it has more gears.

    this is also shaft driven and 2 stroke.

    funny thing... my first day on it. landed right on my back. pops a wheelie easy, no pulling up just giving it gas. I have the throttle screw way in for the kids. and it has a tether cord on the back for when they are learning. just pull the cord and it kills the engine. atc70s don't have anything like that do they???

    Shaft driven?? Wow i didnt know that. That sweetens the deal. No chain to deal with is a definite benefit. Nope Honda's don't have the safety tether unless you add one, to early for that, i think it was something early 90's when they had to put them on for safety? Someone on here knows. I know just about anything you buy ATV wise these days seems to have that tether switch. A friends waverunner has one on it, its always there but never hooked to the rider.. LOL

    When you say throttle screw, it has an adjustable throttle stop to limit the speed as well? Honda's don't have that either that i have seen.

    it has a screw on the throttle (handle) that allow you to control how much they can push it. tighten it up for young ones , then when daddy gets on it loosen up all the way.

    Heck, my '87 Suzuki quad has a throttle stop screw, it's nothing special.

    Huh i didn't know the 70's have the throttle stop, didn't see it in the manual, and have never had my hands on a 70. Been wanting one for years but thats the closest i have gotten to them. I suppose the smaller ones they did that since it would be kids riding them.

    I will have to refer back to the 70 manual now, curious.
