Reviewing The New Releases: The Ranger 50cc And T-Max 70cc


With the release of the new Ranger 50cc and T-Max 70cc junior petrol quad bikes, we thought it’d be a great opportunity to look at some of the key features that these quad bikes have to offer to help you make a decision when buying one.

The Ranger 50cc Petrol Mini Quad Bike


Fun, fast and reliable, the Ranger 50cc mini petrol quad bike takes everything a quad bike should have and improves on it.

With an easy setup and start, you can pretty much ride this bike right out of the box!

The easy pull-start, improved carburettor and overall improved reliability mean that this is one quad bike you should seriously consider buying!

Let’s take a look at some of the key features of this bike.

Higher Grade Wheel Bearings

These give the quad bike and wheels much longer life and can handle the weight of your children as they continue to grow and get older.

This saves costs as you won’t need to find and fix a replacement.

Terrain

The Ranger 50cc is suitable for concrete, tarmac and mild off-road use such as gravel paths and flat grass. But this doesn’t mean that this is any less fun, you’ll see how much enjoyment your child will have riding one of these.

Rear Axle Safety Cover & Strengthening Bar

The last thing you want is an unstable and unreliable quad bike that is hard to ride and difficult to handle.

With the rear axle safety cover and strengthening bar, this allows for a smooth ride and handling for the rider.

The cover protects children from the moving parts and keeps them safe whilst riding the bike.

T-Max Roughrider 70cc Kids Quad Bike


One of the most loved quad bike brands on the FunBikes website, the T-Max is back again and this time they’ve released the Roughrider 70cc kids quad bike.

With a 70cc 4 stroke single-cylinder engine, a hydraulic rear disc brake and a push-button start, it provides everything your child wants in a quad bike.

And with safety features including a riders safety lanyard and a restrictable throttle, you can remain in control of the power and speed, ensuring that your children stay safe while riding.

Let’s take a look at some key features.

4 Stroke Single Cylinder Engine

The powerful and reliable 4 stroke single-cylinder engine that has featured in many T-Max models is back and just as good!

Fully robust, the engine starts via a push button with a fully automatic rev n go transmission and runs on unleaded petrol.

All in all delivering a product that is safe, simple and fun.

Restrictable Throttle

All parents naturally worry when their children start riding bikes, motorbikes and quad bikes. But with this restrictable throttle feature, you remain in control the whole time on how fast or slow the bike goes.

And your child won’t even notice anything different, they’ll still feel as though they are riding really fast and will continue to have hours of endless fun on the T-Max 70cc quad bike.

Riders Lanyard

Continuing with the safety theme, just to put parents’ minds at ease, the T-Max 70cc comes fully equipped with a riders lanyard.

This means that the rider can instantly “kill” the power of the bike by pulling the lanyard. And brings the bike to a safe stop.

As of early August, these quad bikes will be available to buy from FunBikes.

Everything You Need To Know About The Brand New Kaabo Range


Everything You Need To Know About The Brand New Kaabo Range

With the brand new Kaabo range soon to drop at FunBikes, we couldn’t be more excited to see our customers ride around on these fantastic electric scooters.

Mostly available in two colours, red or black, we’ve got a wide range of models and variants for you to take a look at.

From the lowest model spec the Kaabo Mantis, to the top of the range Kaabo Wolf 2, we know you’re in for a treat!

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, these scooters are perfect for everyone, regardless if you’re just starting our, or you’re a seasoned pro.

Let’s take a look at three of the most common features you’ll find across all these scooters and why they’re so good.

Speed

Really, it depends on which model you choose to go for, but all of the Kaabo electric scooters are impressively quick and can take on inclines, challenging terrain and other obstacles that you put in its way.

But looking closer at the different types of speeds:

Mantis 800w - Top speed 50km/h with an optimum range of 55km

Mantis 2000w - Top speed 60km/h with an optimum range of 70km

Mantis Pro 2000w - Top speed is 60km/h with a huge optimum range of 90km

Wolf 2 26AH - Top speed is 80km/h with a huge optimum range of 100km

Wolf 2 35AH - Top speed is 80km/h with a huge optimum range of 150km

We can clearly see that Kaabo aren’t messing around when it comes to the speed of their scooters! Even the Mantis 800w is 50km/h which is more than enough to get from A to B in a decent amount of time!

And as you go further up the models, the more serious the scooters are, the Wolf 2 35AH model tops out at 80km/h and we know for a fact, there’s plenty of fun to be had with that amount of speed!

But it comes down to what you’re most comfortable with and how you will use your Kaabo electric scooter.

Braking

It’s hard to ignore the braking features available on these scooters.

The lower spec models have a Cable Operated and E Brake system on the Mantis 800w and for the 2000w a Semi Hydraulic and E Brake system. Impressive and responsive enough to bring the scooter to a complete stop without much effort from the rider.

But the higher-end models, from the Mantis Pro 2000w and up feature full hydraulic front and rear disc brakes, with the renowned "minimotors" controller which allows for extra advanced functions such as ABS, and regenerative braking.

This is exciting because when riding at such high speeds, the increase in the wheels locking up and causing a potential risk are decreased due to the ABS and regenerative braking system included in the scooter.

All in all, you will feel the scooter respond to you as you want to stop, it’s fully responsive so you can brake without much effort.


On Road / Off Road Tyres

Available on the Wolf 2 is the option for on-road and off-road tyres.

Depending on what you will be using your electric scooter for, we think this is a great feature giving riders the option to select which scooter and tyre type they would prefer.

Wanting to ride on smooth tarmac or go to a skatepark and try out some tricks? The on-road tyres have got you covered!

Looking to test the limits of the scooter and go riding on some dirt trails? Then the off-road tyre is more for you.

Whichever you choose, you’ll see how durable and sustainable these tyres really are!

With so many great features, so many models - 5 to be exact with 9 different variants, it can be hard to choose the right Kaabo scooter for you.

But consider who it’s for, how they will be using it and you’ll already start to form an idea of which scooter would be most suited to the rider.

But don’t hesitate, we’d strongly advise on beating the rush and getting your brand new Kaabo scooter online from FunBikes today!

What Makes The M2R Dirt & Pit Bike Range Special?

M2R Racing bikes are a great option for all children who want to start riding their own bikes.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, an intermediate or even an expert, there’s a bike for you from M2R Racing.

But what makes these bikes so special?

Why are they so popular?

We’ll be taking a look at some of the different models available, including the KMXR, KXF125 and then RF ranges to see why we believe they’re so popular.




4 Stroke Oil Cooled Engine

The M2R Racing bikes feature a YX Motorsports 140cc 4-stroke oil cooled engine.

The gearbox has been designed with a racing pattern in mind, purely for performance reasons. Effortlessly go from neutral at the bottom then 1-2-3-4 gears up.

And for quick restarts the engine is kick-in-gear, this is better because rather than having to shift and find neutral, your bike can be started in gear.





Vented Brake Discs

When you’re riding at high speeds you need to stop quickly.

That’s why with a vented brake disc, these bikes are so responsive and sharp when touching the brake.

Fitted at the front is the same twin pot hydraulic brake you’ll find on the spec supermoto race bikes, including a 220mm heat dissipating vented wavy front disc.

The rear brake is also hydraulic, a single pot, which is again coupled up to a vented 190mm wavy disc.

All in all, M2R bikes are so responsive to braking that even the slightest touch can slow your bike down.

Toned Gripped Seating

The last thing you want when riding your bike at top speed is to be sliding up and down the seat, struggling to maintain control of the bike and be comfortable.

Taken directly from motocross, these M2R bikes have a toned gripper seat included at no extra cost.

So when you’re taking a corner at speed, you can remain in one position, giving the rider full control over the bike at all times.

Furthermore, the material used keeps the rider comfortable and supported as they ride the bike.

We offer financing on all M2R Racing bikes, to make it easier for you to spread the cost without having to pay the full amount straight away.

We have all the different M2R bikes mentioned in this article for you to buy today, so take a look online and choose the right bike for you.

Zero Electric Scooters: The Ultimate Electric Scooter?



Zero Electric Scooters: The Ultimate Electric Scooter?

With the new Zero electric scooters available to pre-order on Fun Bikes, we wanted to see if these high-flying scooters are some of the ultimate electric scooters on the market today.

Pushing the boundaries of what an electric scooter can do and bridging the gap between scooter and motorbike.

And with a variety of models including the Zero 9, Zero 10 and Zero 11, there’s plenty of variety to choose from.

Here are just some of the reasons why we think Zero electric scooters could be the ultimate electric scooter on the market today.

Power

Powered by a Lithium Ion battery, these scooters are seriously fast! With a wide range of motors to choose from 600w, 1000w, 2000w, 2400w and 3200w you’ll find yourself riding at high speeds and getting from A-B in record times!

The lower models are for more intermediate riders, whilst the high-spec models of Zero 10 and 11 are for the experts!

Whichever Zero electric scooter you choose to go for, we promise you, they won’t disappoint!

Comfort

Comfort is one of the key features offered by Zero as the decks make for a comfortable ride.

Especially if you are riding long distances, Zero have gone to great lengths to create a comfortable journey for the user.

Take the Zero 11X for example, which features a motorcycle-style twin steering pole with an ergonomic handlebar that curves towards the rider, thus eliminating the user having to bend forward or lean backwards.

Whilst the hydraulic spring suspensions and shock absorbers create one of the most comfortable rides on an electric scooter that we have ever seen.

And with the adjustable stiffness in the shock absorbers, you can tailor your scooter to the terrain you’re riding one, whether that’s on-road or off-road.


Speed

We’ve touched on the power of the Zero electric scooters and briefly mentioned the speeds, but let’s take a look at them in more detail.

The Zero 11X can reach speeds of up to 95kmh, you’ll notice how fast you can truly go! And with an optimum range of 120km, you can ride this electric scooter for miles before running out of power!

The lower-end models can still out-perform some of the top rivals on the market, the Zero 9, for example, can reach speeds of up to 40kmh, more than enough to have a lot of fun whilst riding and getting where you need to be.

Ready To Get Your Zero Electric Scooter?

These are just some of the benefits and features including in both the lower-end models and high-spec scooters. We hope it’s enough to get you hooked, because we certainly are!

Why Off-Road Buggies Are Lots of Fun!


Why Off-Road Buggies Are Lots of Fun!

Riding up a mountain, overcoming quick-sand and driving away from a T-Rex chasing you is no fun when you’re alone. It’s much better to share these moments with someone.

And that’s why part of the reason riding an off-road buggy is a lot of fun, your children can share those moments together… maybe not recreating some of those moments mentioned at the start, but certainly riding through challenging terrain and exploring a local forest with Mum and Dad whilst on a walk.

And it’s not just because brother and sister can ride together in their own buggy, off-road buggies are lots of fun for many reasons.

Let’s take a look.

Easy To Ride

With features such as an electric start, remote control engine and automatic transmission, it’s really easy for your children to jump in and go!

No need to worry about learning how to release a clutch or change gear, simply hop in and go. We’ve tried to make it as easy and as fun as possible.
Great For Holiday Adventures

Planning a holiday in the U.K.? If your kids have persuaded you to buy a trailer, you can easily fit the buggy in to take on holiday with you.

Not only is it fun for the kids, but you also avoid fees to rent a buggy which can sometimes be very expensive and only last for 30 minutes to an hour.

At least with your own buggy your children can ride it around the park for as long as they want.



Controllable Throttle Restrictor

Who said the kids have to have all the fun?

This is one of the key features on our range of off-road buggies whereby you can control how fast or slow the buggy actually goes.
And this is important if you’re concerned about the speeds that are possible to reach on the buggy. Or if you’re worried about your children hurting themselves.
As with any products we offer albeit bikes, buggies or quads, we always recommend children wear full protection whilst driving to avoid any injuries.

Safety should always be at the forefront of riding a bike or driving a buggy and that’s why we go to great lengths to make sure our products have key features such as throttle restrictors and provide safety clothing for full protection whilst riding.

Ready To Get An Off-Road Buggy?

From the FunBikes Shark RV50 156cc Black Mini Off Road Buggy to the FunBikes GT80 Trail Blazer 200cc Red Midi Off Road Buggy and more, we have a wide selection of seriously fun off-road buggies, all designed for the kids in mind to have hours of endless fun!

And with a 6-month warranty, financing and key safety features, why not buy from one of the leading quad bike, buggy and kids bike suppliers in the UK and buy your buggy online from FunBikes today.
