ATV or Go Kart options

[PandaDown]

I'm wanting to get my 8 year either a mini 4 wheeler or go kart. Any suggestions on what would be the best option for a 8 yr old that is 75lbs and 51" tall?

I used to have a 3 wheeler back in the day but I would flip that thing over numerous times doing stupid stuff.. ramp jumping, doing wheelies and eventually lost it in a lake.

I would get him on a 4 wheeler. Go carts are too high of maintenance on my opinion.

I got this for my 9 yr old this past Christmas and he loves it. It's a chinese model with the 110cc Honda clone engine. I don't know if you can see it, but the roll cage is bent because he flipped it twice. No injuries at all.

I bought it in Cartersville.

When the lake would freeze over upstate NY people would ride their snowmobiles, 3-4 wheelers on it. Well I went to far out and the ice didn't support the weight and cracked the ice. I managed to get off, but lost my 3 wheeler. I was 18 and didn't pay attention.

How much are these going for and how old is your kid?

I ordered two of the boulders 3 years ago. Having some ignition issues with the one that has been through more water (they aren't made for water). But for the price these have been awesome.

Invest in good helmet. And use the throttle screw as they get used to it.
