"Santa delivered this one for my 8 year old son for Christmas, and he was completely surprised to see a real live ATV for him to enjoy. So far, it has not disappointed! He's had some experience riding smaller ATVs, so this was the next logical step and perfect model. Speed limiter is a nice comfort, and love the foot break and reverse. He's spent every possible day since Christmas riding it, using it to help me around the yard, and even got to play with it in the snow, which was also great. Diane was friendly enough to allow me to check one out in person before buying to get a better idea on actual assembled size and noise levels (I live in NJ). Paid a bit extra for the assembly, but in long run, was better for them to do it with the experience and know how, and peace of mind knowing it would start and run smoothly. Did have to keep battery charged though, and keep it on a maintainer when not being used, but it's winter - - hoping not needed as much when weather turns warmer. It does start right up though with a fully charged battery. A helmet is a must, and should have some property to ride it - kids will get bored riding in circles. No regrets making this kind of purchase for the first time and would recommend this model to anyone with similar age children and expectations for use. With good maintenance, I'm expecting it to provide many more years of enjoyment and use (daughters will likely ride it too in time!). Thanks for a good buying experience."
