[papajake]

i want to buy our 6 year old grandson a quad was looking at an eton 50 has auto clutch and reverse electric start guy said it is the same as the yamaha has anyone had a good or bad experience with one

I've had several, still have two a 50 and a 90. I've had zero problems with them. For the price I think they are pretty good.

 

[papajake]

would you be interested in getting rid of one of the 50s

 

[DRD]

No sorry, not until my sons big enough to inherit the 90 from my daughter.
As I said they've been good quads for me. The last 50 I sold went to a guy that had an almost new Chicom in his truck that quit and couldn't get parts for. At least with the Eton you can get stuff for them if they do break.

So it can sit in the shed with the rest of the stuff I never have a chance to ride? Besides the Honda is nice and slow and doesn't make enough power to hurt itself or me.

bought my daughter an Eton 90 in 2005. That thing was quite powerful & very dependable for many years. I sold it to my brother in-law for his kids, when she outgrew it. I have a couple friends that have Eton quads for their kids as well & have had good luck with them.

I have a 90r 2005 for sale, look at my thread in classified. You can govern it down, has programible ecm and of course throtle screw. it would last a 6yr old til they are 10-13.

I've never had a eton, they look like they're built well, I'd stay away from the Geo brand off ebay though. We had a 110 full auto, it ran well but was cheaply built and had the welds break with very light riding.
