Living Life on Four Wheels

Has your child grown out of their two-wheeled bike or scooter? If so, this new year is the perfect opportunity to switch them over to life on four wheels. As you will soon learn in this blog, this is a decision they will be thanking you for, for many years to come!

Vehicles with two and three wheels, such as Electric Scooters and Dirt Bikes, provide a great amount of thrill for kids. There’s no disputing that. However, due to their added power and increased stability, four-wheeled vehicles can offer a much more complete and enjoyable riding experience for children of all ages.

At Riders & Rollers, we have a wide range of four-wheeled vehicles for kids to choose from. So, to save you the effort of trawling through our vast collection, we’ve decided to supply you with our top picks.

Kids Quad Bikes

Our awesome range of kid’s quad bikes, which come in both petrol and electric powered models, are great for youngsters who love riding dirt bikes but are struggling with balance and bike control.

Both models are very durable, easy to ride and come in a variety of colours, ranging from black to pink, to suit boy and girl racers of any age.

The 49cc Petrol Kid’s Quad, which can reach a top speed of 18mph, uses a thumb throttle system to make it easier for children to control the power of the vehicle, whereas, the 36V Electric Kid’s Quad adopts a twist throttle system, as it has a slightly lower top speed of 15mph. Although they have different types of throttle, both models have throttle control features that allow the quad to be restricted by parents. This is particularly useful for families where children of different ages and abilities are going to be sharing the quad.

To give you even more peace of mind, our quads have responsive steering, which makes it much easier for riders to navigate around tight corners.

Kid’s Buggies

We also have an amazing collection of kid’s buggies, which are perfect for junior thrill-seekers who love to drive.

Just like our quads, they are sturdy, fast and can be purchased in black, blue or red.

Built for the fearless, our Riders & Rollers Kid’s Go Kart Buggies, which are available in petrol and electric powered models, can reach a remarkable top speed of 25mph.

However, even they are no match for the Mad Max 1000W Electric Buggy, which is quite simply a kid’s dream toy.

With an array of performance features, like race-style steering and plastic bucket seats, the Rocker Mad Max is a great off-road buggy for children aged 6-14.

For added safety, all of our buggies are fitted with solid steel frames and protective roll cages.

Ride-on Cars

Alternatively, if your child is too young for high-speed buggies and quads, you could look to treat them to one of our brilliant ride on cars.

Available in a variety of licensed models, including your quintessentially British Mini hatchback and a luxurious Ferrari supercar, they are a great introduction to life on four wheels for kids aged 3-7 years-old.

Winter Advice for Dirt Bikes and Quad Bikes

Whilst some riders may retire their dirt bikes or quad bikes to the garage over winter, we know that the cold weather won’t stop most young daredevils. We believe that there’s no need to stop riding during the winter, however, winter biking does require a little more preparation to make sure riders stay safe and comfortable.

Here are our useful tips to keep young riders and their bikes protected during the winter.

Give your bike some extra care

While the weather is cooler, it’s important to keep up regular maintenance on kid’s dirt bikes and quad bikes, ensuring that they continue to operate correctly. A special consideration for petrol bikes is that it’s important to check that anti-freeze levels are kept up to ensure the engine keeps running.

When bikes or quads are not in use, we recommend keeping them covered over winter. Cold weather, and snow in particular, can lead to permanent damage to the bike, so make sure you have a tarpaulin with you if you are traveling with an off-road vehicle.

Don’t ride in extreme conditions

In especially snowy or icy conditions, we would recommend that you stay at home. Without winter spike tyres, dirt bikes lack the right traction to ride safely, so young riders should wait until more extreme weather conditions clear up before taking to the tracks.

Stay hydrated

It’s normal for us not to feel so thirsty in the cold weather but taking in plenty of fluids is very important when out riding in low temperatures. When layering up in winter riding gear, you will still sweat a lot, so you may not feel hot and bothered, dehydration can still set in quickly.

Invest in quality dirt biking gloves

To stay comfortable and safe on off-road bikes, regardless of whether they have 2 or 4 wheels, warm hands make all the difference. Cold numb hands can make it very difficult to stay under control on biking trails or rough terrain, so look for quality, thin gloves that will keep your hands warm and provide plenty of grip.

Whilst thicker gloves may seem to make more sense in cold weather, although they may keep your hands warm, it will probably feel like you are riding in boxing gloves.

Wear layers

In winter weather, you will want to keep your skin covered to prevent it getting chapped. Make sure to choose a high-quality motocross jacket with important features such as removable liners, pockets and vents, and a comfortable fit. Jackets with added padding around the shoulders, back and elbows are also a bonus. A good quality jacket helps to regulate your temperature.
