My boys used it twice before it broke(will only go in slow speed). The closest repair shop is 2 1/2 hours away.Also it will not carry a 3 and 6 year old(well under the weight limit) keeps cutting off. I bought them a peg perego gator 3 years ago and it has been great. I am very dissapointed.

This would be a great toy if the quality was vastly improved. For $[...] I expected a lot more out of this product than was delivered. The battery only lasts about 30-45 minutes after a full charge, and the the lever switch that allows the machine to go backward and forward went out and the bike only goes in reverse now. I went to manufacturers web site looking for parts and couldn’t find anything about ordering spare parts. This product is a lot of fun for the kids but it hasn’t lasted very long and the overall quality is pitiful and not worth the price. We are going back to the Fisher Price riding vehicles for our kids, since you at least get what you pay for.

This toy was great for the first 5 rides. Although it is a typical cheaply made battery operated toy, I felt it was safer than a gas powered childs size 50cc ATV. Long story short, it broke, wont run, even though battery says fully charged. Mind you I have had it less than a month! My child is less than 50 pounds, and never “pounded” on it at ALL!
Called the company Peg Perego, and they just informed me since I bought through Amazon.com there is NO WARRANTY! I am furious. Amazon never disclosed this! I assumed(shame on me) it would have a year warranty as the manufacturer states. So now I am stuck with a brand new, non-operational made in China piece of $500- crap. Way to ruin Christmas Amazon

Very nice and beautiful. I would have preferred the Polaris not to be that big, because I live in an apartment building and it doesn’t fit in the elevator, but the product is really nice and my children love it. Now I need to buy a farm to enjoy it. Amazon, do you sell farms?

Have a seven year old girl who just loves this quad. She rides it almost everyday. It is well built and sturdy and the battery last longer than her jeep. My forteen year old daughter also is within the 150 pound limit and hops on it once in awhile.

We searched several toy stores and websites for just the right 4-wheeler for our 5 year old son. Many of the models that we saw in the stores were fine, but we were concerned that he’d grow out of them quickly (too slow, battery life not long enough, too small, etc.) We came across this 4-wheeler on amazon.com and we decided to give it a try. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. My husband assembled it, charged the battery overnight, and my son was riding it by the next morning. He absolutely loves it.
It’s fast, sporty, and easy to control. We have a sloped backyard and the vehicle has no problem going up and down the hills. (However, 2 cautionary items: 1.) The tires can slip/spin on wet grass. My son was driving down hill on wet grass and he couldn’t stop it. 2.) The quad has a foot petal to put the vehicle in motion but it does NOT have a brake. You just take your foot off the petal to stop. But if you’re going down a steep hill or on slippery terrain, you might not be able to stop quickly.)
Overall, we’re very pleased with the quality of the quad. Even older kids in our neighborhood (ages 7-11) have fun riding it around the yard, so we know our son will enjoy it for a long time.

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter as she had quickly outgrown a power wheels brand four wheeler that she was sharing with my 2 year old son. It fits her well and she has a blast on it. It comes with the major components pre-assembled. The directions were OK, but I would have liked to have had an exact count layout of the screws and hardware as what I had in the bag didn’t seem to match what the directions were saying. Also, the directions did not say which screw should be installed where and there were several different sizes.
I was alos missing one small piece that holds the flag in place. I quickly remedied this with some zip-ties, but it was not present in the kit.
The final assembly only took a few hours with applying stickers another 2 hours. This should not be a problem as the battery needs an initial charge of 14 hours before riding anyway.
Overall, I give it a 4 out of 5 as my daughter loves riding it and always has a huge smile on her face.

My son is 7 and loves this thing!!! It goes at about a fast walk on level ground. We have a hilly yard and did does not get tired on the uphill areas. It does slip on wet grass and/or leaves. There is a small hook on the back and I can’t wait to hook up a little wagon so he can run my yard and gardening tools around for me!
I am pretty handy, but the instructions that came with this product were terrible. (Worse than the kind that come with a LEGO kit for 8 year olds.)
A few things your should know…
The thing is held together by driving screws into plastic. That means the first time you put it together it will be very snug. But if you make a mistake and have to backtrack, the fit will not be as good. If there were terrific instructions, this would not be an issue.
The instructions show how the pieces fit together and in the right order. However, there are about 15 screws of about 5 sizes. The instructions leave it to your best guess which go where. So when I got to the end I had a couple of screws left and a couple of holes left and they didn’t match.
Hints I can give are:
1. The 8 identical stubby screws hold the front and back decks on.
2. The front desk goes on first. I mistook the front of the diagram for the back and then had to backtrack.
3. Have a couple of extra small screws on hand.
I think anyone with average skills can assemble this, but not with an excited kid helping. My recommendation is to go through all the instructions with all the parts and screws in one pile. As you go through more them into another pile. Then at the end, you can see what screws and holes are left and you can rethink where they go. Then get the kid to “help” once you know where everything goes.

My son outgrew the smaller trucks, so we found this one. He and his younger brother love it. Sometimes I even ride it. It’s a lot of fun.
