How much am I gonna regret buying one of these little mini ATVs?

As long as you don't mind having a bare-dirt yard you'll be satisfied.

Most of them are pretty much disposable after a year or so. If you're just looking for something for a kid to goof off on that won't get abused too hard then you should be good for a year or two of usage. They don't really hold any value so if it happens to still function when the kid get's tired of it you won't be able to sell it for much, if at all.


ETA: There's a place not far from my office that I saw listing them on craigslist. Looks like the same shite in your link for $600 new.

My son has had his for about 1.5 years. Rides it at the deer lease a; lots of mud, sand and grime. The whole front end is shot, wobbles like a black girl on the dance floor. I've had to replace the battery once, but it's good now.

They don't have a lot of low end torque, but it works. I put a smaller front sprocket on my son's and that helped.

All and all, it cost me $700.00 to get him through the little ATV stage of his life, versus $3,500.00 for a Honda, Yammie, etc. I would make the same move again. Once he wears this one out he will be ready for s 250cc+, then I will invest my money in quality.

They are a huge piece of shite. But they are cheap and will teach em to ride, and you can govern en down to a crawl. I got a year and a 1/2 or so out if mine before it got too much to fool with. Its now parked outside my shop and I've rounduped around it all summer. Feel free to come get it

If you close to Slidell, there are 2 Polaris Outlaw 50 for sale for $1000 each LINK

I bought one for my 5 year old. Worst purchase I ever made, these things are absolute junk and no one will work on them when they fail to run properly after a week of owning one. My son almost caught fire when the gas started to leak from a carb seal and got all over his pant leg. I trashed it after a month because there is no warranty on this junk and bought him a Honda Recon that was much more stable (these little turd bikes will turn over very easily on your kid and hurt them) and dependable. He learned to ride properly and not to hot dog on the Recon. He's eleven now and has a tricked out Rincon with custom wheels, bumpers, racks, etc and can outride any adult. Wife rides the recon around and calls it her own.

Don't buy your kid this junk, you will regret it!

We got my son a chinese 4 wheeler about 3 yrs ago.It was good for him to learn on but the reliability was terrible.I had to redo the electrical system,fix the frame where the welds broke,bypass the "safety switch",and a few more things.It cost 650 new.He learned how to ride and we were able to get him a new Recon for his 10th bday this year.Its nice just putting gas in it and letting him ride.He is one happy camper.
All of his riding was on woods trails and pastures.There was no mud riding of any kind.
