i have three of these for my girls. Thankfully never really had any issues. a few broken welds (as you said) one ive replaced the stator in 3 times!. aside to that, they have ran great. Girls ride up and down our hills and trails. through mud, rock and even snow.
My experience: 2010 250 Honda recon, 2200$ worth every penny, will last forever, rides smooth through all speeds, a little stiff on the suspension, but no motor vibrations 1999 125 yamaha yz 700$ (in 2008, maybe 1200 today) been a sweet fast, durable, easy to maintain bike, solid manufacturing and engineering, same as Honda 2019 125 tao tao 4 wheeler and dirt bike. Side by side to the Honda and yamaha the difference is obvious. Much cheaper parts, literally every part. You get what you pay for, and imo I regret buying the tao tao. I should have known better a d been patient for a Polaris or Honda, but it supposedly came with a warranty. Just know, its amazing knowing your going to throw it away after a couple years. I still feel its worth it, as you can replace the parts with quality as they fail, but in the end you'll be 1500$ in replacement parts. I spent 2400 for both the tao tao, and they are fun, but not at all a quality machine.
Everything you say is 100% true. I had to pull my daughter's completely apart and lock tite every single 1. The only good thing to say is it's cheap and parts are cheap. I am glad I can weld
I think you’re being a little hard on them though I had the smaller model with all the same issues . But it’s cheap and I got it 2nd hand for 50 dollars. It was still practically new. Great buy for me but had I spent 800-1000 on it maybe your right . Maybe i would have been pissed just like you lol. I think for 500-800 there still a good deal brand new. The engine and trans seems solid. The only big issues are the welds and the carbs but it’s still tolerable
If you think about japan, and they're steel eg, they made incredible swords hundreds of years ago, and try and I was defending themselves up against Japan in World War II, now look at the poor quality steel coming out of China to this day in your product. that's just something very simple but it all starts with sourcing quality materials, it makes a difference. Just something for people to think about when they are purchasing items. you do get what you pay for, but everyone's worried about getting ripped off. In the long run it's better to invest in quality from the beginning being my point 😀
The Lame Trapper ooohh ok thxxxx 🙌🏼🙌🏼 .also it comes with a blue air filter that’s different from my original air filter that has a bowl shape so do I just Switch those two out 🧐
i have 3 of these, going on a year,little to no issues, i dont dawg them and change the oil often. these quads are just meant for kids and trail riding. At 11:20 i see you drive over a dirt mound amd i can see the ground is wore bad, they arnt meant for all that. just flat riding and taking it easy, after all, they are 800 bucks. Also, the manual says for YOU to use lock tite on the bolts, amd you cant ride around hitting trees. i think you rode her a little hard for what it is.
It's a quad. You are supposed to ride them in the dirt. Also I'm not dismantling the entire machine to locktite bolts that were already installed. That is ridiculous. That dirt hill you see is used by many 4wheelers for many years. Why would someone buy a 4 wheeler for flat riding? If u wanted my kids to have a nice, slow, flat and relaxing ride you would buy them a golf cart.
I have 2 of these a 110cc that my 8year old rides and a the 125cc my 11 year old rides first thing I did was blue lock tight ever bold on frame and body.. we ride a lot off road trails they do go through starters a lot but other then that not really have had a ton of problems out of ours. My 11 year old rides hers pretty aggressive. My buddy build one for his son he races it on flat track the bike has a lot of upgrades bud still has the motor and trans and stock frame..the bolt with the spring you took out was for the timing chain.
I got my daughter a new one too, so far the vibration is annoying and the carb is crappy. Its brand new she still hasn't seen it buy i drove it and those are the things i didn't like
They are made cheap you need to take care of them. I had a Chinese pitbike I put through the ringer. All it ever needed was a carb. Keep them put away when you aren't using them

The best honest review I have ever seen on TH-cam

It’ll get your kid into an atv cheap. Best thing about it. Wish there were more makers at that price level
For me, it’s the vibration that bothers me. How can I stop that from happening? If possible
True review I have a few of these different models also
800 bucks delivered still pretty good I would get one for the farm to shoot with and have a knock around vehicle for the kids etc

Thanks for the honest review. Is the 125cc sized okay for a 4yr old? Wisconsin must be rougher than Wuhan!
It's a good size for a 4 year old up to probably 15. They have a ideal screw that slows them way down and a remote to shut then off
@@Harveyw1000 i have kinda this quad
@@Harveyw1000 mines A littel bit bigger
well it is an Entry Level bike..you get what you pay for as they said.
Get a good pair of shock absorbers..... Them Chinese shocks is solid..... Shakes it to bits.......

Mine gets no power at all when hooked up I check everything
On amazon there is “ATV Carburetor PZ20 Carb Set with Air Filter and Fuel Filter” will that be good to switch out with my original carb
I think it will. I just ordered one yesterday. The carb the my atv came with is not capable of being worked on.
The Lame Trapper ooohh ok thxxxx 🙌🏼🙌🏼 .also it comes with a blue air filter that’s different from my original air filter that has a bowl shape so do I just Switch those two out 🧐
I threw my stock air filter away. It's the reason I need a new carb. They are terrible and dont filter anything.
The Lame Trapper ok thankk uu 🙌🏼
Hahaha thanks for this video! 😂 will definitely not buy one
How do I take of the seat mine won’t come off
There is a lever underneath the back of the seat

Do yourself a favor and replace the oil and air filter. The oil is just for shipping and the air filter is terrible
Yep thats the biggest problem with ours is the crazy vibration. It just takes the fun out of it somewhat its so bad.
Chinese steel is super soft and trash because they don't heat treat anything ever...
