Chinese ATV review, how do they hold up to years of riding? 110cc ATV 

Couldn't agree more. I own 4 of them and my kids are very hard on them, but they hold up and hold up well! I also love how cheap and easy to get parts are! Thanks for the great video!

That was an awesome video review bud . Definitely helps bridge the consumer gap when it comes to opinions of these ATV’s I’m a firm believer that these are awesome entry level products 🤘🏻🐿🤘🏻 you rock 👍👍

You literally earned my subscription based on your Celica Supra in the garage! Getting back into small engine toys on my channel as well. From Supraholic to another, us dads DIY daily.

Great video, thank you very much for this useful information. I'm planning on buying this quad, a very well used one, only useful for parts for a self build crosskart. Now I know that it will be worth the money and it won't disappoint me. Thanks!

I’m looking at them now, and this review really helped. Like you said, I was looking at more known, used brands, but was hesitant on what I was getting.

i had one of those, well something simular back in 2008 to 2010 when i was 3 to 5 years old, and it never had any problems those things are great

Great Honest Video! You went through the good, and the not so good. But in the End, it Seems Like A Good Quad. We will be looking to get something for our Granddaughter in a few Years, so this Video Helped me out, Thanks!

thanks for sharing the review, just the answers I needed ty

What I loved about this video is that it was so TRUE. She showed her hesitation about riding it, in fact in getting it in general BUT I'm sure she loved it once she got used to it. Thank you for not just putting a video on here that showed everything PERFECT because we all know it's not going to be. You sold me on not being afraid of buying this size for my 7 year old granddaughter 😊😊

Widening the rear wheel track may improve rollover resistance slightly, but it will in fact reduce the vehicle’s ability to turn, and cause a reduction in overall turning radius. Most four wheeled vehicles employ a wider front wheel track for this purpose. Food for though.

I'm buying a quad for my birthday and I'm thinking of buying a Chinese one. I started hearing all these rumors about them sucking and stuff and then I watched this video. I'm glad I watched this.

I was thinking about buying my Grandson a Coolster 90 or 110 I enjoyed your video very good information

Lots of useful information as always!

The end video you pointed out what I was debating get a used name brand or Chinese ATV for kids Thanks.

We had a Kazuma Redcat 110 we bought in 2006. Actually still have it, and we did not treat that thing nice. The only thing its ever needed is oil changes and a fender repair after we backed it into a camper. The thing was bullet proof. We took that thing places it shouldn't have been and it survived it all. Mud snow, surprised it never missed a beat.

I had the ATV 150cc Hummer for 11 years and the engine IS still running i sold IT and bought new one i highly recommend those quads, after 11 years the Quad IS still working fine and the frame is good.

When my son was very young we had a 90cc Kazuma. The thing was fast, really fast. Now that I have two boys and they're a bit older we're going to go ahead and get them a couple 125 bikes. These bikes always come running lean you can usually just raise the needle in the carburetor and get a lot more performance

We had a 110cc "TERMINATOR" quad when I was a kid 20 years ago. It was a great machine even with all the abuse my sister and I put it through. The only things we ever had to fix was, carb cleaning and replacing the sprocket bolts after a bit too hard of a reverse to forward gear change. We had it for a decade or so and only stopped riding it after a front hub broke and the transmission burnt up limping it home. Engine still ran strong when we gave it away.

I bought my wife a 150cc and its held up great... change suspension and carb and its awesome.. she's been riding it for 3 years

I have been riding atv's since I was 6...working on them since I was 10. In the last 5yrs I have bought a couple dozen China ATVs that were assembled wrong by US the people who ordered them online! These China ATVs (as long as you did like the video says) , loctite nuts and bolts..maybe put some grade 8 in some of the areas of high stress....they last!! I use the extenders to widing the rear wheel base...."if" you get one that the screws have been ground off from factory on the carb, order a new serviceable carb offline for $8-$15.....change the oil after a few months of riding or once a year....out of the 3 new ones I have purchased, the dozens that I bought used and broken, then fixed.....they truly have lasted and for what little they cost you cannot lose. I am trying my best to keep my business going, I hear people downing the China made ATVs, lowballing me on prices (or trying to).....then I also have people coming back after 2yrs, asking if I can adjust the brakes, maybe replace a tire.....thanking me for selling the such a dependable (China) ATV. Now I have my others as well that have been great. I just saw this and wanted to say what I have. I agree with the video and I am glad that others understand. For me it's money. I cannot afford to buy the top of line and it is difficult selling the China made ones I have...I am doing the best I can to do something I enjoy which is working on ATVs because of an accident that causes me many issues.....it really gets to me when I hear, "China crap" or worse because I know they are not bad, for the price they are actually very very good. Hopefully people will keep posting videos like this and it will help those like myself trying to repair, buy, resell the China ATVs. I mean a 110cc ATV that will pull someone that weighs 185-195, 35mph or more is doing great! Lol Thanks for your video. I enjoyed it!

Thanks man I definitely will buy one for my daughter!

have one of these but a 90cc (older version), had a few problems with it, but totally my fault (i beat it a lot), but with a little elbow grease still runs great after 13 years!! got it when i was 4 and i'm turning 17 now

Hi thanks for sharing you experiences on that atv . Im new on this trying to buy one my 12 years daughter.

I have a coolster for my daughter ,she has it now for 2 yrs,no major issues. Had to replace carb with a better carb and thats all. Runs great can not beat it for the price..I took off the throttle limiter screw after she got use to it ,and that little 4 wheeler can fly..

Man this video was executed perfectly, thank you so much I appreciate you making this

Thanks for the advice! Am contemplating getting one. Considering that if I buy one ocally and that new & upgraded parts are readily available I may have to get one.

Years ago, I acquired a Kazuma Lacoste 110. It seemed to be better built than the rest of the garden variety Chinese quads, but the suspension was horrible. I did a direct replacement of the front shocks with Suzuki LT 160 shocks. I put an LT 160 shock in the rear after making a mounting adapter out of a piece of square steel tubing. This created a little bit of lift that allowed bigger tires in the back, and then I evened out the width of the front with some wheel spacers. It hauled me around with no problem except when trying to go up a hill. The kids riding it had no problems on the hills.

Nice video man. The Chinese atvs get a lot of bad publicity so it’s nice to hear a positive prospective on the topic! Appreciate you taking the time!

Thank you for all the info very helpful

Great video I don't get those unboxing videos make no sense to me. We are a family of 5 I just bought my son his graduation gift he is 11 and going on to middle school 2002 Honda XR100 great bike but was $1000 and I also have 2 younger girls 7 and 6 and they wanted something too so I bought 1 used ATV 110 for $400 today and they are urging to get on and ride and now im planning on getting a second one. As the sole income of the family we have to figure out money all the time but with the stay at home order we are ready to get out and have fun this summer. The price on the these are very affordable the throttle adjustment is great and it's a Green Sticker come on it sells itself. Great to see a video from someone who is using it not just commenting on what's in the box.

We have a couple of these. A 110 and a 125. So far they’ve been great. Easy to work on and maintain.

Never had one of these but was thinking about buying a little Coolster for my Grandson

My second kid is still riding the 110cc dinli quad that was bought for my brother more than 15 years ago, nothing but very minor repairs, can’t fault it.

For kids...lol... EXCELLENT. I got my 6yr old a coolster 72cc dirt bike KICKSTART (must for me) and we've had it for 3yrs. It starts 2nd kick faithfully and no electrical crap... simple bike-he rides almost daily. 750bucks out the door. Sooo worth the smiles and adventures.

Boy times surely have changed. When i was a kid we were lucky to get a new pair of KEDs tennis shoes for outdoor fun.

If you're mechanically inclined you're golden. An absolute steal. The motors on my tao toa frontier and raptor are still strong several years later. They're not racers and I don't jump em but glad I didn't buy units TWICE the price

Great video thanks Follow up, years later is whay more informative than a unboxing video

Great video, I’ve got 2 2020 kid oaks and my 3 yr old is going to be getting her own soon

Hey thanks for this video, your intelligent review really helps!

I love my China Quads. You have to be handy though. I can't justify the expense of Polaris and I'm not going to finance a toy. I have a Roketa 150 I bought in 2014 and it still works. We have two Tao Tao Rhino 250's modified and still on the road. We just picked up a Coolster 150 for the wife and she loves it.

i have had mine for 12 years and it is still running strong. needs a new battery and carb adjusted but other than that there is nothing wrong with it. only thing we have ever had to repair on it was the carb float but other than that we have never had to take apart the engine.

I just wanted people to know these videos are very helpful

Thanks for the video, it was a big help.

I had a Chinese 125cc quad that I bought from a family member that they used it for about two years and I used it for about 10 years after that I’m 14 now, the motor finally blew up last spring, but for the $800 that you pay for it, you get a hell of a lot of riding out of it.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Had one for 4 years, new carb, new shocks to upgrade the front and to replace blown rear, frame broke twice, keep welding), inner plastic on the sit broke ( used fiberglass to reinforce), made wheel spacers for the rear to kinda keep it in line with front wheels, new battery, new chain, old one stretched, fabricated additional motor mount to support front of the motor (small piece of metal that motor mounts to is too soft, bent) Front brakes are useless no little kid is able to reach the handlebar lever nor has strength to squeeze it all the way! Only nice thing is the hydraulic disc Foot brake . Also have Yamaha raptor 90 , so just usual oil changes and no issues at all!

My 01 yz250 came from California still has the green sticker on it, its here in Tn now.

We have several and will continue to have them

My first ride was a defiant 110cc automatic got it in second grade Right now im 15 and im 10th grade and its still alive an running like new I sold it to the neighbors kid and it still works fine

grandson just got a 125 tao I believe hope it holds up I got a 1983 Honda 200 3 wheeler still going strong lol

Thanks for the review, gonna pick up one of these quads for my son. PS nice car. I have an 1982 p-type in my garage.

Upgrade the carburetor you can find plenty on Amazon, use Loctite on as many bolts and screws as possible and change the oil

Ive had a Kayo Bull 200 for 3 years. New engine after one year. frame welding occasionally. Brake shoes, new carb. No electrical problems at all. Some mechanical know how will save you a ton of money. We have excellent dealer support at Wise Choice Motorsports in Tiffin, Ohio but of course it COSTS. For the price point you can't really go wrong buying one of these. BUT, if it is ridden HARD, it will break. So be prepared to either repair it yourself or Pay big bucks to a dealer to fix it.

Have one for 12 years, it runs good. The weakest part is the frame around the rear axle where you adjust the chain tension, the metal broke but it was due to adults riding it. We fixed it with a wedge between the rear axle and the frame and it keeps the rear axle square and the chain tight. We had a tire valve go bad, run it on a regular basis and I would buy another one to. I also own a 49cc chinese scooter and a mini chopper all over 10 years old and still run today. Parts are inexpensive, you can pick up a whole new carb for under $20. Also replaced the fuel lines and fuel filter once. And a $5 clutch cable.

I appreciate this whole video 👌

I have owned 2. The 125 3 speed model I regret, it could not even maintain it's speed in third gear. Foot area was too small for most teens and engine failed in one year. The other, a 110 eagle, is still running strong several years later. It has been rode hard and has held up good. For what I paid for the hundreds of hours fun the kids have had I consider it a bargain. I am about to buy more but this time, as suggested, I will pay a little extra and buy from our Kayo dealer.

My son rides a coolster 110. Put 5 years on it, and the motor finally started to die. Put a predator 212 on it with a cvt. Screaming fast now. Not bad at all for $800. Would buy again for sure.

You forgot to mention they are bloody easy to work on and parts are dirt cheap online! My kids and I love them !

I’ve had mine for 7 years I had mine since I was 6 I am 13 mine is beat up only bc I flipped a a bunch of times and stuff last year but mine is constantly needing work bc I beat it up but I would consider if your just looking to ride around no major jumps or rough housing there cheap

They need a lot of maintenance if you ride them hard (like people do as they get older) but it is good to learn the basics of how to work on motors, a very good choice imo

Years ago I had a 90 Baja I bought at pep boys a auto parts store and it was great for my son's first quad and cost efficient,I'd do it again hands down,who wants to dump alot of money into something your child might lose interest in,and resold for another child to experience the fun of riding after my son grew out of it

Good, accurate video. I have two ChinaBikes, one pit bike and a 150cc adult-sized Tao Bull 150-D utility ATV. Our ATV is a 2014 and, apart from a chain replacement, one CDI replacement and yearly oil changes, it runs like a champ going on 7 years now. Most of the issues I’ve had with the 125cc Coolster pitbike are upgrading the chain to a DID Japanese chain, putting a genuine Mikuni carburetor on that was properly tuned, and getting a better quality chain slider. All of those parts were had for less than $130 since we’ve owned the bike. Frankly, I’ve had to do the same with any Japanese bikes I’ve owned, but at a much more significant cost as their OEM parts are much more costly. I’m all for purchasing cheaper Chinese Powersports brands that are already demonstrating themselves to be sufficiently reliable (Tao Tao, Coolster, Vitacchi, etc. and of course, the more expensive Pitster Pro/GPX and Thumpstar brands).

Great review

I never had one and I am almost 15. But if I do have a kid. I think I’ll get this for them

I am thinking about getting one of these for my Grandson

Dam 3 yrs old that thing looks like it just rolled out of the show room! With in a year my kids stuff looks like it got run over by a bulldozer but they're not half as rough on stuff as my brothers and i where so i can't complain

Great video thank you

I recently bought a used X Pro 125cc for my grandson. I soon discovered that many bolts were lose or missing. I replaced bolts, added locktite, lockwashers, lock nuts and remedied that problem. I have replaced the carb and had to wire in a connetor to the CDI. The machine runs well but currently I have to jump the solenoid to start it. I suspect it is the brake safety switch. I have worked on everything from tractors to trucks so I am figuring this machine out but it would be great to have a manual. So far I am not having any luck. I don't really even know what to call this ATV as I never find X Pro listed anywhere. People on the internet say there are no manuals. Is there any manual, even a generic one that would help me? Enjoyed your video.

Great video

I have a 110 or 125 Chinese quad I don't know yet but the start button won't start it so I I have to jump start it how do I fix that

i hade the first one and the only problem was that the metal in the front and back brocke some times and it is realy hard to weld bc it is a thin metal'

Lol. That's not an alarm, its a remote kill switch button so a parent can cut the engine if the kid cant process how to ride well and theyre a 100 ft away from you. The rest of the review was very helpful tho! Thanks man!

100% right. I bought one here in cali, no paperwork. Not fun. Just save the few extra bucks and get a dealer owned one.

Thank you very much👍

about to get a kayo and putt mud tires and louder exhaust probably

My little sister may get one. Great review

Rebuilding one myself for my daughter, I believe it’s a 2006 Henson it is a 110cc

Yes I have 2 Of them

In my experience with Chinese quads, bikes or go karts is that the engines are solid and reliable. Thing is, everything beyond that is cheap junk that just doesn’t hold up. Especially if you ride them regularly on trails. Even riding around the yard can be hard on them. They require a lot of maintenance to keep in operation.

Bought a 125cc 2011 model for $300 with a shift problem. It took about 2 hours to tear down and correct the issue, cost was zero. Had to straighten out 2 bent levers and reassemble. Thing still runs excellent and I just bought a 2020 model today so I can ride with my daughter, I get the 2011 lol but that's fine!

I don't see the link for the spacers. Which on is it? Thanks.

Are you sure the Key Fob is an alarm? Everything I've read about these is that it's a remote kill switch for parental control if the little one starts to get out of control. Still needs the battery disconnect so it doesn't drain the battery but wanted to check whether it's a kill switch or an actual alarm. Great review.

Thank you meent alot

I was wondering if you have any info on another model of these machines There is a 1000w brushless electric motor now out on the market. Would love to know any information about this machine. Cheers

I have the same one got it for my daughter I'm in the middle of rebuilding it changed the motor going to get new plastics I rebuilt the wiring harness doesn't have the alarm or any of the alarm parts

Thanks for posting , A few years back I purchased one and the first day of riding, the brake pads went. Since I bought it online i didn’t have a the easiest time finding pads. But once I did (Suzuki pads fit) the bike was good. Never had any other issues. Did you have any brake issues ?

We just bought one 👩‍👦& my son loves it how many years do they last if nicely stored after every use & dry bike as you say will help

Hey I seen your video and I actually own one the spark plug Got stripped And whoever had it put a heel a coil in it and that script also how expensive is it to replace that

I have a tao tao 125 atv ,,, it's great 👍 my kids love it and get plenty of use of it ..

i have 2 for my kids love them

Do you have a vibration issue at higher speeds. Mine sucks to ride fast

I have one like that and the only major problem I’ve had with it is the chain I can’t get it to stay on and I’m actually working on it now

My honest opinion about China quads are they are not that bad I have a roketa 150cc from 03! And it still runs and rides it looks like hell but it has been reliable for the most part I've replaced the cdi once and stator twice other than that we just beat the snot out of it ...I would say if your thinking about buying one go for it

I’m currently fixing one that someone didn’t change the oil in and it became seized

How fast do they go?

Do you have reviews on amphibious atvs from China? Thanks. Great job.

Upgrade wiring hardware and suspension front and back button everything up put new sprockets on there soft metal wear fast add a good chain and there pretty decent. Oh and the carbs suck but can be workable. aftermart save the hassle period.

If you ever need any parts, like a carb or a battery, Amazon is your best friend for quality parts for cheap.

My Tao Tao 120cc has 100 hours on it best cheap quad keep old stock carb have someone custom built it and make it better stock carb better!! Change front sprocket always make sure all your bolts on the frame are tightened up! Over time they do loosen up! Go straight piped! Also go for the big bore kit my tao tao 120cc/ is now a 150cc screaming badass very fast if you mod it it’ll go up any terrain and hills stock fast no torque for hill climbing! For a cheap atv Tao tao 120cc beautiful. Very easy to maintain lol can even bump start 😅 very good compression 😊

I love these things, because most people who can afford them new are the kind of people who don't know how to maintain them. Then, after the carb got clogged or the cdi box failed or a wire got broken, they get parked. Years later, I get to buy them for $100 and fix them up for cheap. There are many different ones...some tiny, some just big enough for an adult, some auto with one speed, others auto with reverse, some with 3 speeds. They all come with a bunch of garbage wiring for the safety switches/remote start and other safetys. I remove all the extra wiring to help them be reliable for me.

looks cool
