    Quad bikes

    Does anyone know much about these?

    Options appear to be new Quadzilla @ c3.2k, new Honda @ 10k, or ancient Honda at 2k.

    Now I am going to assume the the Quadzilla's are Chinese tulip, but with front & rear towbars + a winch installed I am leaning towards them, as all I need to do is tow the garbage bins on a trailer to the main road 1.5 miles away + a little boat down to the river.

    With a 3 year warranty on the Quadzilla's, I am struggling to justify the outlay on the Honda & depreciation over the three year warranty period of the Quadzilla.

    I was thinking of throwing a tow bar on the Mini Cooper Convertible I bought on eBay for 139 quid, but I have fallen in love with the thing. Ansolute hoot on country roads 30 mph feels like warp speed.

    Some "Chinese tulip" are sometimes much better than the big name stuff. I might be able to beat the £3.2k but it will be a Chinese import. I have seen some quad bikes on the database from time to time. How quick do you need it? Let me if you know if you want me to have a quick hunt. There are issues getting stuff out of China by ship, but things are slowly (slower than a civil servant taking a dump, slow) returning to "normal"*.


    *Depends on a combo of product, producer, region of production, ship & shipper, destinations etc

      If you buy the Chinese crap you deserve the thing to topple onto you.

        if money is a concern get something second hand off ebay.
        You won’t be worried if you give it some beating.
        Also, look it up for each model, they may have scooter/motorbike engines, see how much is to replace one and how easily it can be found.

        Don’t count on warranty especially if you plan on doing things to it...
