Quads are great for recreational activities as they are rugged and can be ridden on any type of terrain. They provide great sporting excitement for any smart adventure. If you are thinking of buying your own bike, familiarize yourself with the types of quads available for sale to choose the one that best suits your needs.
There are generally four main categories: utility, off-road, on-road, and sport. Quads that are used for utility purposes usually come with four-wheel drive and are larger than those designed for fun. They come with firm suspensions and frames to carry a heavy weight of more than 250 pounds. These are specially designed to conquer difficult territories and can even be used to tow other cars. They’re the ideal companions if you’re involved in camping or regular farm activities, as these bikes can carry heavy loads for you. Most utility quads come with full skid plates attached.
Off-road quads are wired to tread on uneven terrain. These types of bikes are highly sought after even though they are not designed to be ridden on populated roads as they do not come with lights, horns and mirrors like any regular vehicle, making them illegal to ride on the street. However, the on-road version is fully equipped for legal road use. These are more practical since you can also ride them off-road.
Recreational or sport bikes are usually smaller than utility bikes. These are considered sport quads because they can get up to speed quickly. They are automatic two-wheel drive cars that can be maneuvered quickly, offering fast movement to adventure enthusiasts. These are normally used in racing. Both sport and utility quads can be used for on and off-road driving, as long as they meet the legal requirements for on-road driving.
When looking for quads for sale, keep in mind that smaller vehicles are typically equipped with engines up to 50cc, while larger ones have engines that go up to 1000cc or more. The smaller engines are ideal for children, since children’s quads should not reach more than 90cc. Test drive the bike to see if it’s what you’re looking for. Because these cars are large and bulky, they can cause serious injuries. Make sure you know how to assemble it or have it supervised by an expert. Opt to buy a new vehicle instead of a used one.
