just got back from visiting ole fernnie snow down in the new cabin, must say it is one very nice digs, that man has talent. snow was good, lots of fresh down there although the access in is disappearing fast, very warm.

emma may as well get 4 or 5 quads if the kids take after the mother in any way. i can see a collection of various broken parts and peices strewn through out the yard. good thing they are on the other side of the river, or they'd be over chewing up my yard.

Bought one of them 110 cc geo quads and it literally lasted 1 ride, chain stretched so much had to max out the adjustment , and then remove 5 links, on then trail. All the welds broke, battery fell right out of it because the plastic holding it broke, so had to duct tape the battery in place so it wouldn't run on the chain sprocket, rear rack fell off, and every single but and bolt on them pieces of chit are made from low grade Chinese pot metal. Total riding time on that 1 ride was 4 hours, take it for what it's worth

My kids were very small on the gio's so they lasted us for a couple yrs! I can see the gio's cratering with an adult trying to ride them!!!

Still have the crappy tire 110 katera quad for the boy.

Still works good for 500 used.

Can't see spending 3000 on a name brand quad how fast they grow out of them.

Cheapest Eton was out in Sundre for around $2600. Saw one on kijiji for $1200 but its in Whitecourt and I'm not driving there. Could try Can Tire and check what they have there. Forgot about there! But Ya I'm with Tex.....not spending $2500 per quad ....the rate my girls grow we would need a new one every year.
If they wre like Larry....they would never outgrow it :p

you know, last year we had a Tao Tao donated to the Summer Campout/Jamboree as a raffle prize, I rode it around the campground most of the weekend, and it seemed pretty good. From what I've read it is one of the better chinese knock off Brands......

If its not too far out of your way Emmaa you could call either Gateway Power Sports (Cameron) in Edmonton or Spruce Grove ATV (Anna), they are the same company and are very helpful.
