I bought my kids (4 years old and 2 years old) a new UTV so they would be able to come out to the desert with me and enjoy the outdoors. I am a paranoid dad, so I didn't want to get them a dirt bike. I like much more the idea of a complete roll cage protecting them. I was considering the Polaris RZR 170, but seeing that it was 2 times as expensive and doesn't look nearly as good and lacks so many of the features this one has, I decided to save the money.
thats an accident waiting to happen

@braiden2010 - I'm not too concerned. I am controlling the gas and brakes and steering when needed. Out in the desert where they will be riding, there isn't anything to hit. There is a screw that allows you to limit the speed as well as a remote "Kill' switch like a car remote, that kills the motor. They will have it running a whopping 4mph when they ride it solo (or with me sitting shotgun), and that probably wont be for another year or so.

Does it have enough GO for say an adult rider?

@dirtycommtroopUSAF - If you mean, can an adult ride in the thing with his kids, the answer is yes. I am 6 foot, 170 and I fit. With me in it, I think it can do about 25-30 mph. I haven't thrown my GPS on it to check the speed. I don't mind riding around the neighborhood, but I wouldn't take it out the desert to go ride. My 12 year old (100lbs) is getting too big for it, but still really enjoys riding it. I think the ideal age is someone 50-80lbs. It takes some muscles to turn the wheels.
