Modern children grow up early and gain independence. To take their free time and direct development in the right direction, many parents write them in sections or arrange in circles. Some people prefer to entertain their child with some exciting developing hobbies (knitting, puzzles, modeling). The most enterprising and wealthy buy a quad bike to their child of ten years old. Such a “toy” is not only a new hobby, but also a means of developing mindfulness, motor skills, a sense of responsibility for one’s actions and desire to improve. If the goal of the parents is to develop health, endurance, and the speed of the child’s reaction, then the ideal solution is to give him an ATV.
How is a children's ATV different from an adult?
Children's ATV is a low-power technique. The maximum speed of such a “car” is from 40 to 50 km / h, the tank volume is not more than 4 - 5 liters. The ATV has a high degree of safety. It is equipped with large inflatable wheels, a comfortable steering wheel, enhanced protection and often a speed limiter. Such an all-terrain vehicle equally confidently moves on both asphalt and dirt roads. He copes well with impassability.
ATV for a child from 10 years old: gasoline or electric
Sporting goods and children's toy stores present a wide range of children's ATVs on gasoline and electricity. However, one should be well aware of the main features and characteristics of various ATV models. This will make it possible to understand what kind of ATV is needed for children. 10 years is the age when the child is already aware of his independence, but still needs the adult's mandatory control, so choosing the “right” model of his first personal transport is not an easy task.
Electric models differ from gasoline, in the first place, by the principle of action. The first work on a battery and need regular charging, the second, respectively, on gasoline. Electric ATVs are ideal for young children, they have low power, size and weight. In addition, gasoline ATVs, unlike electric ATVs, can be used only on the street, as they produce smoke exhausts. And it is much more difficult to control a child under 10 years old on the street than indoors.
Children's ATV on gasoline. How to choose?
There is a huge range of gasoline ATVs for children. It is very important to choose the right “car". In order for a child to be able to drive an all-terrain vehicle, it must fall under certain characteristics. Children's ATVs on gasoline should be selected in accordance with the age, weight and height of the child. The owner of the all-terrain vehicle should easily reach all the controls. It is also important to pay close attention to the complexity of the model. If the child gets too simple a model, then the hobby can quickly pass. If the model is too complex, then he may not be able to cope with the management and just as quickly will be disappointed in the new hobby.
When choosing personal vehicles, your child should not forget that any equipment sooner or later fails. The availability of warranty service, the terms and conditions to which it applies are important aspects of choosing a children's ATV. It is also worth paying special attention to the location of the warranty workshops of the manufacturer, it is desirable that one of them is located in the place of residence of the future owner of the ATV.
Types of gasoline ATVs
In total, there are 2 types of children's gas-powered ATVs: two-stroke and four-stroke. Models of the 1st group are intended for children from 3.5 to 10 years. The category "children's ATVs on gasoline from 10 years old" includes models, mainly of the 2nd group. This is explained by the fact that by the age of 10 the child already has well-developed motor skills and sufficient care to cope with the management of more advanced equipment, which has a maximum speed of over 20 km / h. In addition, two-stroke models, unlike their "older brothers", are additionally equipped with a control panel and a speed limiter. Parents of young children can directly control the speed of their child. At the age of 10, the child no longer needs such close monitoring.
The advantages of four-stroke gasoline ATVs
Compared to electric and two-stroke gasoline ATVs, four-cycle models have several main advantages. Firstly, in order to increase the reliability of the structure, they are designed with a reinforced frame. Secondly, they have a fairly high motor power and speed. Thirdly, they are equipped with an automatic transmission, which is not observed in two-stroke gasoline models, and even more so with electric all-terrain vehicles. Fourth, children's ATVs on gasoline (from 10 years old) are characterized by rather large dimensions, even an adult can ride them if necessary.
Fifth, the permeability of such ATVs is significantly higher than that of their "younger brothers." This is explained by the fact that they have large wheels capable of providing strong adhesion to almost any surface. The next advantage of four-stroke all-terrain vehicles is the increased tank volume (up to 5 liters), designed for long journeys.
Terms of Use
In order for children’s ATVs with gasoline from 10 years old to serve their owners faithfully, as long as possible, they should be serviced in a timely manner. To do this, regularly perform 3 simple steps.
- Do not allow the tank to empty completely, filling it with gas in a timely manner.
- Change oil regularly.
- Clean and lubricate the chain as necessary.
Should I buy Chinese- made ATVs for children?

But in recent years, the situation in this area has changed dramatically. For example, children's ATVs on gasoline (from 10 years old), made in China, not only have a lower cost in comparison with European counterparts, but also are not inferior to them in terms of characteristics. Designed only from high quality components. Buying cheap ATVs for children with gasoline today is a familiar thing, economically and practically justified. Quite often, when assembling children's ATVs in China, components of famous Japanese or European brands are used. In addition, in every large city in Russia there is at least one service center for servicing Chinese ATVs, which further increases the level of confidence in modern Chinese technology.
