Bought this for my 9-year-old and he's obsessed. The adjustable speed limiter let me start him slow then open it up as he got confident. Arrived crated and well-packed.
Was nervous ordering a $1,200 ATV online but their phone support walked me through everything. Shipping was free and showed up in 5 days. Runs great.
