ATVs

Shopping for a 4 wheeler starts with one question: who is going to ride it? This page lines up gas-powered youth and adult ATVs from Tao Motor and Coleman, from 107cc kids' quads with parent controls to 169cc and 250cc-class adult utility and sport models. Every listing names its engine and rider class, and most state a recommended rider age, so you can narrow the field in a few minutes.

How to choose a 4 wheeler for adults or kids

Use the manufacturer's age label as your first filter, then match the machine to the riding you will actually do.

• A first quad for a younger rider: The Tao Motor Rock 110 kids ATV runs a 107cc four-stroke with an automatic transmission and reverse, plus a speed governor and remote kill switch, and is labeled for riders 10 and up. The MUDHAWK 10 youth ATV moves to a 125cc engine with a throttle limiter, a wireless remote engine kill switch and hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, also for ages 10 and up.
• Teens ready for more: The T-Force youth ATV has a governor that adjusts from 5 to 35 mph, an automatic transmission with reverse and a 12+ age label. The Cheetah youth ATV uses a foot-shift forward-neutral-reverse transmission, a step toward shifting without a clutch, and is also labeled 12+.
• Adult sport riding: The Raptor 200 sport ATV pairs a 169cc engine with a speed limiter adjustable from 5 to 40 mph, LED lights, front and rear racks and a 330-lb max load, and is labeled for riders 14 and up.
• Chores, property work and hunting: The Rhino 250 utility ATV uses a 250cc-class engine, a CVT automatic with reverse and front and rear cargo racks. The Coleman AT200-B utility ATV runs a 169cc air-cooled engine with an automatic transmission, reverse and electric start, and is recommended for riders 16 and up. For a simpler adult entry point, the Bull 150 pairs a 150cc engine with a CVT automatic and all-terrain tires.

Before you add one to the cart, compare the max load on the listing with the rider's weight and check that the rider can reach the bars and controls comfortably.

Trainer's take: fit the rider, then build skill in stages

Riding a quad well is physical. You shift your weight into turns, stand over rough ground and steer through your arms and trunk, so fit matters as much as horsepower. For new riders, start with the speed limiter or governor set low on open, flat ground, and raise it only after braking, turning and stopping feel automatic. Short rides with breaks keep focus sharp; fatigue is when mistakes happen. Gear up on every ride: helmet, eye protection, gloves, long sleeves and over-the-ankle boots. Adults stepping up to a bigger machine should follow the same progression on the new quad.

4 wheeler FAQ

How much is a four wheeler?

It depends mostly on engine size, rider class and features like transmission type and cargo racks. Compact youth quads sit at the lower end of this collection and adult models at the upper end. Each listing shows its current price, and our ATV cost guide explains what drives the difference.

What size ATV should my child ride?

Follow the age label on each listing. Here, the Mudhawk 6 is labeled 6+, the Rock 110, MUDHAWK 10 and Coleman AT125Y are labeled 10+, the T-Force, Cheetah and D125 are labeled 12+, the Raptor 200 is labeled 14+, and the Coleman AT200-B is labeled 16+. Check the listed max load as well.

Is a 4 wheeler the same as an ATV?

Yes. "Four-wheeler" and "quad" are everyday names for an ATV, a straddle-seat machine steered with handlebars. A UTV, or side-by-side, is a different vehicle with seats and a steering wheel.

Which youth ATVs have a parent kill switch?

The Rock 110 lists a remote kill switch, and the MUDHAWK 10 lists a wireless remote engine kill switch that a parent can use from outside the riding area.
