i wouldn't reccomend any type of quad for a 2 year old..thats crazy why would you let him on a quad that does near 15 mph when he can't talk yet....if anything get him a little powerwheels...

Aw now Overkillkfx take it easy on him(or her :)) As far as putting a 2 yr old on a quad, well our son started riding by himself when he was 3, he rode on the front of our 400 since he was about 9mo. he's 5 now he does pretty good, needs more seat time of course but glad he's getting started somewhat when he's young. NOW as far as putting him out on a track that young I wouldn't do that, our boy has only been in a few races so far we alwasy see kids out there that can't even reach the pegs & cna't steer them very well now that's scary :eek: thats why we're having him get another summer of seat time in before he starts racing next winter.


KJquadracer............we have a TRX90,SuzukiLT80 & LEM Condor(50) & I think they are all good little quads, my oldest son started out on the 90 when he was 8, then moved to the LT80, now the blaster. Our 5 yr old rides the LEM & it's just the right size, if I was you I would get a LEM & a Honda if you want a 4 stroke the LT80's are good but can be a pain, heard good things about the Kasea 90's they look good too ;) well good luck w/ your kids. BTW we checked the Kasea 50's but like the LEM's better they have the best suspension out there pretty much!!

With proper supervision and instruction, there should be no problem. There are still some responsible parents out there.

My 2 year old cousin rides with me back in our easy trails...I usally just idle back into the timber with him behind me so he doesn't go to fast and just keep looking back at him so he knows to follow me...then when I get back to the little hills I get off the bike and follow him around and "help" him up the hills:D ....he doesn't mind me helping him and he has a great time:) ...but anyways....if your wondering which mini to get,I would reccomend an LT80 or 50 or a TRX90....all very reliable machines from what Ive heard;)

LEM or Kasea & E Ton 50's are among the best there is. All 3 have many mods available and are pretty tuff machines.

For your 2 year old I would really look into the Kasea mini 50...I know that sounds wierd but there is a difference in the so called"Full size 50 and the mini 50" check it out. I think w/supervision your lil' one will be fine on the mini. Just set him or her up with the right safety gear and w/your watchful eye you will have one happy kid.

I know there is a few other mini 50 some have the remote kill switch great for a new rider.

Goodluck

There are a lot of good machines out there. But you may find it hard to find a used one. Thats what got me started looking at the Kasea, and the Eton. You can get a NEW one, with a warranty, for the same price as a used honda or suzuki. Not to mention the styling isn't nearly as dated as the LT ond the TRX90:D

I agree...... Eton, Kasea, or LEm I know are great machines for the wee ones.. for a two year old a Rascal might not be a bad Idea....:) Soggryrider~~~~ Graphics look good!!!:cool:

which quads would be easiest to mod when it comes down aftermarket, especially suspension?

Eaton and Kasea both have a large list of mods, including extended swingarms, wider A-arms and axles. Works and Elka both make shocks for most minis.

Hey guys how much does a little Kasea Skyhawk 50 sell for? My little sister is going to be getting a quad within the next couple weeks before we go on our big trip and we are debating on the trx90 or even smaller 50. And what dealers sell Kaseas?

MY SON STARTED ON A 2001 PW50 WITH TRAINING WHEELS WHEN HE WAS 4YRS, BUT HE WANTED TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE FAMILY AND RIDE A QUAD. HE IS 6YRS OLD AND LOVES IT. I FOUND KAZUMA IN THE PAPER PRETTY CHEAP
2004 110CC FOR $1250. MOTOR AND TRANNY ARE LIKE A HONDA, AND FRAME IS LIKE A ZUKI.
FIRST THING I CHANGE WAS THE REAR TIRES, IT WANTED TO TIP ON TIGHT TURNS SO I REV THE WHEEL FOR THE OFFSET BUT WAS ALITTLE BETTER SO I PUT ON 18x9.50x8 TRF TMRS AND ITS GREAT NOW.
I ALSO DRILLED OUT THE TOP OF THE AIR BOX, JETTED TH CARB,
AND CUT UP THE MUFFLER. I TOOK THE INLET CAP AND OUTLET CAP AND CUT THEM OFF WELDED THEM TOGETHER AND SLID A 4IN CHROME TIP FOR A TRUCK OVER IT AND WELDED IT ON
ANYWAYS IT LOOKS GOOD AND SOUNDS GOOD. IT MADE IT ALITTLE MORE SNAPPY
AS FAR AS RACING I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WOULD BE AGAINST OTHERS BUT ITS FAST FOR HIM AND HE JUST TOOK TO JUMPING
HE JUMPS THE DITCH ON TO OUR DRIVEWAY IT IS ABOUT 2-2.5 RISE AND HE WILL GET ABOUT A 1.5 OF AIR AND 4-5 FEET DISTANCE AND LOVES DOING IT. TOP SPEED 30-35mph

KAZUMA ALSO HAS A 50cc THAT HAS A KILL IN THE REAR SO IF WANT TO A YOUNG ONE ON YOU JUST HOOK A ROPE UP AND KILL IT IF NEEDED AROUND $850.00:p
