If your child is ready to ride a 4-wheeler, then it might be time to consider getting him or her their own 4-wheeler to ride. If your child has the maturity to make good choices for their own safety such as always wearing their safety gear and has the ability to watch out for other 4-wheeler riders when riding, they are ready for their own 4-wheeler.
It's very important that your child ride a 4-wheeler made for their particular size. A 4-wheeler that is too small for your child isn't safe and a 4-wheeler that is too powerful can get away from your child and cause injury to themselves or others.
Choosing the correct size 4-wheeler for your child isn't hard and you just need to consider the following:
If your child is age 6 and older - choose a 4-wheeler under 70cc.
If your child is age 12 to 16 - choose a 4-wheeler in the range of 70cc-90cc.
If your child is age 16 and older- choose a 4-wheeler over 90cc.
It is usually recommended that children under 6 do not ride 4-wheelers and no child should ever ride their 4-wheeler unsupervised. A great way to jumpstart your child on the road to good, safe 4-wheeling habits is to enroll them in a local riders safety course.
When your child is learning to ride their 4-wheeler, use the speed governor and lower the speed of your child's 4-wheeler down to 5MPH to help them build confidence in themselves and also make their 4-wheeler easy to handle and navigate.
