Quad bike hunt. HELP!!!!

27 Jun 2005

I am looking for a quad bike for a 9 year olds 10th birthday. I have looked on ebay but cant find anything for Â£200 or under. Can anyone help. It is her birthday next Wednesday (6th July) I just cant seem to find onE. I know that is not alot of money but I would have thought I would have been able to find a second hand on for that.
Any of you bikers know where I can get one?

always try local farms, or karting people, they tend to have stuff like that.
Kids have grown out of them, or farmers have one or two spare, if not maybe try auto trader.
don't know if that's any help mind lol, but wish you good luck smile

I did see that page thanks but the cc is to high for a child of 10 years old or they are under Â£200 but have a long time left to bid which means it will go over the Â£200 mark.
But thanks for looking

It does depend on the time of day they finish, as to the final price. Worth watching them. If you go any lower in cc, it's toy ones. That said, I think they're bloody dangerous anyway. We took a group of 9 & 10 year olds to an activity centre. They were under the supervision of fully trained instructors, wearing all the correct gear and still one flipped over and landed with the bike atop her. I wouldn't let my kids on one.

She will not be able to use it over here but will in France when we move over so we will have the land and my hubby is an ex biker so he will go around with her untill we feel she is confident enough to do it alone. The reason it has to be that cheap is because we will have to get her all the right safty gear as well. I am looking for one that is 50cc max.
Again thanks for looking :rose:

you'd be better off buying over there
stacks of places who sell off their older models in the winter, to locals

I know what you are saying but we go a month later (at the latest) So we need to get it for her over here. But I will see if any one in France can help.
