Quad Bikes for Christmas - Have fun but be Safe!

Many kids and even adults may be hinting at a quad bike this Christmas, and who can blame them they are great fun. However, while quad bikes are fun it is important to remember to ride safely and responsibly.

There are currently no safety regulations in place governing the use of protective clothing with quad bikes and there is no requirement for training.

One regulation that is in place is where you can use quad bikes. Quad bikes can be used off road on private land with the permission of the landowner. Most standard quads come with off road tyres, which mean they are not suitable for road use. It is also illegal to ride quads on public roads if you are under the age of 16.

The law states that quad bikes can only be used on public roads if you:
  • Are over 16 years of age
  • Wear an approved helmet
  • Have road tax
  • Have a driving license to use a moped (16 years old) or motorcycle (17 years old)
  • Have insurance
  • Take a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
  • Ensure the bike has lights, a number plate, horn, speedometer and sufficient tread on the tyres (I.e. road legal tyres)
  • Have an MOT if the bike is over three years old.
At Funbikes we believe in promoting safety and common sense when using your quad bikes. Most accidents associated with quad bikes come from people using them irresponsibly and children using them without adult supervision, not to mention neglecting to wear the correct safety clothing.

Here at funbikes we sell a selection of safety gear such as crash helmets and protective pads and would always suggest our customers make sure they are fully kitted out for riding their quad. Other good safety features on many quads include throttle restrictors, enclosed foot wells and safety tethers, though they are more specific to kid’s quad bikes.

You may have seen in the news that Kate Moss has been criticised for having three people on one quad bike. Quad bikes are not designed for people to ride pillion. So we recommend you take turns or buy a quad bike suitable to the individuals’ abilities.

So remember, quad bikes are great fun and fantastic Christmas presents, but always ride responsibly and the fun won’t come to a sudden, and perfectly avoidable, end.

70cc Kids Quad Bikes from Funbikes

The Funbikes' 70cc quad bike is a much improved model not only makes your Quad bike experience effortless but much more stable and therefore safer!

The new chasis gives unrivalled stability and better handling, meaning it is less likely to overturn, which will be a comfort to parents. The new improved front suspension is fantastic, giving easier steering and a much more comfortable ride overall.

The improvements don’t stop there. The installation of rear disk brakes as opposed to the drum brake, gives more control whilst braking, along with a lever that is effortless, should you need a sudden stop. The rear parental safety tether allows for engine cut out which is good for use with younger children. This range of children's quad bikes now has fully automatic gears; as invariably younger children will not know how to change gear.

This new kids' quad looks great too. Be the meanest looking rider around with our new ‘beefy’ front bull bars and more aggressive looking plastics and larger rear mud guards.

The Funbike 70cc kids quad bike is fitted with a Honda Design OEM Engine with a high-grade alloy block. This is one of the most simple and reliable ‘bullet-proof’ engines ever made.

Though this ATV is aimed at a typical age range of between 4–11yrs old, amazingly this kids quad bike can carry most adults without it noticably affecting the performance; impressive considering just how fast this bike will go. For this reason the 70cc quad bike has been built with an integral Throttle Restrictor which will allow your child to go at a slower pace to begin with whilst they get used to the quad bike and its handling. This gives the parent time to assess their own child’s individual capabilities and have control.

The safety aspect doesn't stop there. The quad bike also includes front and rear lights and a brake light for use in conditions with low light. At funbikes we carry a full range of child and adult size crash helmets, body protectors and knee and elbow pads so you really can take care of your child as much as possible whilst they enjoy this fantastic bike!

So check out www.funbikes.co.uk today and see our range of kids quad bikes and safety accessories, as well as our range of mini-motos, pit bikes and much more.
