Safety aspects - the be-all and end-all of children's quad riding
Your child's safety when riding a quad bike is our top priority, and therefore a thorough understanding of the safety features is essential. Children's quads are equipped with a variety of safety aspects that not only ensure the well-being of the child, but also the peace of mind of the parents.
Modern children's quads have hydraulic disc brakes that ensure efficient and consistent deceleration. By using disc brakes on the rear axle and, in some models, on the front axle, the quad is able to come to a stop quickly and safely.
Powerful LED lighting is a crucial safety feature. Children's quads are equipped with headlights, which not only improve the child's visibility at dusk or in poor lighting conditions, but also increase visibility for other road users.
The emergency stop function is an important safety mechanism. In the event of a fall or dangerous situation, this function can bring the quad to an immediate stop. It is activated either by an emergency stop cord attached to the child's body or a switch attached to the vehicle.
The ability to throttle speed is especially important for beginners. Parents can adjust the quad's maximum speed to suit their child's abilities, allowing for a gradual approach to riding.
The stable and robust construction of the children's quads not only ensures longevity, but also safety during the riding experience. A protected foot area, padded handlebars and high-quality materials help minimize injuries.
Necessary protective equipment:
Another important aspect of safety is protective equipment. Children should always wear a suitable helmet to protect their heads in the event of a fall. Long clothing, gloves and protectors for knees and elbows provide additional protection.
A thorough understanding and consistent application of these safety aspects ensure that children's quad riding is not only fun, but above all safe.

Buying advice - The perfect quad for your child
Choosing the ideal children's quad requires careful consideration and consideration of various factors to ensure that the vehicle is a perfect fit for your child's individual needs and abilities. This comprehensive section will provide you with valuable tips and advice to help you choose the perfect quad.
Beginner or advanced models:
One of the crucial considerations is assessing your child's driving level. For beginners, we recommend a children's electric quad, preferably a mini quad, which is easy to use and allows you to gradually reduce the speed. These models allow even the youngest drivers to have their first experiences safely. Advanced riders who have already gained experience can switch to electric quads with higher engine power.
The planned use of the quad plays a decisive role in the selection. If your child will primarily ride off-road, children's quads with special off-road capabilities and robust suspension are particularly suitable. Tires should have deep tread to ensure optimal traction on a variety of terrain.
Charging times and range:
For electric quads, the charging time and range of the battery are crucial. Models with short charging times and sufficient range are particularly practical so that the driving fun is not interrupted by long charging times. An integrated speedometer that shows the battery charge level is also helpful for planning the next charge in good time.
The right size of the quad is crucial for driving comfort and safety. Make sure your child can comfortably grasp the handlebars and reach all controls. Mini quads with a low seat height of around 53 cm are particularly suitable for smaller children.
Electric or petrol drive:
The choice between electric and gasoline drive depends on personal preferences and circumstances. Electric quads are environmentally friendly, quiet and easy to maintain. Petrol quads offer longer ride time, quicker refueling and can be better suited for longer off-road journeys.
This section provides comprehensive buying advice to help you decide on the perfect children's quad for your child. From considering rider level to selecting drivetrains and considering terrain characteristics, you'll get all the information you need to make an informed purchase.

Age, speed and terrain - finding the right balance
Deciding at what age your child can ride a quad depends on various factors, which are discussed in detail in this section. You'll also learn how to choose the right speed for your child and what terrain is best.
At what age is quad biking possible?
Quad biking can be possible for even the youngest children from the age of around 3 years, especially if special mini quads with low engine power and easy operation are used. More advanced models are available for older children. However, it is important to consider your child's individual maturity and skill. Some electric quads are designed to be suitable for teenagers and older children.
The speed of the children's quad should be adjusted according to your child's age and experience. Modern models have a throttle function that allows the speed to be reduced gradually. For beginners, it is advisable to start at a lower speed and increase it as you gain experience. This enables safe and gradual adaptation to the operation of the quad.
The ideal terrain for children's quads depends on various factors. For beginners and younger children, flat and level terrain is suitable to ensure a safe riding environment. Advanced riders can ride on slightly uneven terrain, but should always be alert for obstacles and hazards. Special children's quad routes or cordoned off areas offer optimal conditions for different age groups and experience levels.
This section provides an in-depth look at age-appropriate children's quads, choosing the right speed and adapting the terrain to your child's individual needs and abilities. It allows parents to find the right balance and make their child's quad experience safe and fun.
