In this weeks article, we’re taking a petrol mini quad bike and an electric mini quad bike and reviewing both their features to see which might be the best option for you.


We don’t want this to be a competition between the two quad bikes or in fact, a discussion around “which is better, petrol or electric” as both have their pros and cons.


Instead, we purely want to focus on the benefits and key features of both quad bikes in order to help you make a decision when it comes to buying a mini quad bike for your child.

New Gotrax Scooters: See The Range

With the release of the Gotrax G4 and XR Ultra, Gotrax has made significant upgrades and features on their new scooters.


In this article, we’ll be taking a look at some of the best features that come fully equipped on these new scooters and comparing them to the previous model, the GXLV2 to see just how much they have improved.

With the release of the new Ranger 50cc and T-Max 70cc junior petrol quad bikes, we thought it’d be a great opportunity to look at some of the key features that these quad bikes have to offer to help you make a decision when buying one.

Everything You Need To Know About The Brand New Kaabo Range

With the brand new Kaabo range soon to drop at FunBikes, we couldn’t be more excited to see our customers ride around on these fantastic electric scooters.

Mostly available in two colours, red or black, we’ve got a wide range of models and variants for you to take a look at.

From the lowest model spec the Kaabo Mantis, to the top of the range Kaabo Wolf 2, we know you’re in for a treat!

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, these scooters are perfect for everyone, regardless if you’re just starting our, or you’re a seasoned pro.

Let’s take a look at three of the most common features you’ll find across all these scooters and why they’re so good.

Speed

Really, it depends on which model you choose to go for, but all of the Kaabo electric scooters are impressively quick and can take on inclines, challenging terrain and other obstacles that you put in its way.

But looking closer at the different types of speeds:

Mantis 800w - Top speed 50km/h with an optimum range of 55km

Mantis 2000w - Top speed 60km/h with an optimum range of 70km

Mantis Pro 2000w - Top speed is 60km/h with a huge optimum range of 90km

Wolf 2 26AH - Top speed is 80km/h with a huge optimum range of 100km

Wolf 2 35AH - Top speed is 80km/h with a huge optimum range of 150km

We can clearly see that Kaabo aren’t messing around when it comes to the speed of their scooters! Even the Mantis 800w is 50km/h which is more than enough to get from A to B in a decent amount of time!

And as you go further up the models, the more serious the scooters are, the Wolf 2 35AH model tops out at 80km/h and we know for a fact, there’s plenty of fun to be had with that amount of speed!

But it comes down to what you’re most comfortable with and how you will use your Kaabo electric scooter.

Braking

It’s hard to ignore the braking features available on these scooters.

The lower spec models have a Cable Operated and E Brake system on the Mantis 800w and for the 2000w a Semi Hydraulic and E Brake system. Impressive and responsive enough to bring the scooter to a complete stop without much effort from the rider.

But the higher-end models, from the Mantis Pro 2000w and up feature full hydraulic front and rear disc brakes, with the renowned "minimotors" controller which allows for extra advanced functions such as ABS, and regenerative braking.

This is exciting because when riding at such high speeds, the increase in the wheels locking up and causing a potential risk are decreased due to the ABS and regenerative braking system included in the scooter.

All in all, you will feel the scooter respond to you as you want to stop, it’s fully responsive so you can brake without much effort.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, an intermediate or even an expert, there’s a bike for you from M2R Racing.

But what makes these bikes so special?

Why are they so popular?

We’ll be taking a look at some of the different models available, including the KMXR, KXF125 and then RF ranges to see why we believe they’re so popular.

Zero Electric Scooters: The Ultimate Electric Scooter?

With the new Zero electric scooters available to pre-order on Fun Bikes, we wanted to see if these high-flying scooters are some of the ultimate electric scooters on the market today.

Pushing the boundaries of what an electric scooter can do and bridging the gap between scooter and motorbike.

And with a variety of models including the Zero 9, Zero 10 and Zero 11, there’s plenty of variety to choose from.

Here are just some of the reasons why we think Zero electric scooters could be the ultimate electric scooter on the market today.

Power

Powered by a Lithium Ion battery, these scooters are seriously fast! With a wide range of motors to choose from 600w, 1000w, 2000w, 2400w and 3200w you’ll find yourself riding at high speeds and getting from A-B in record times!

The lower models are for more intermediate riders, whilst the high-spec models of Zero 10 and 11 are for the experts!

Whichever Zero electric scooter you choose to go for, we promise you, they won’t disappoint!

Comfort

Comfort is one of the key features offered by Zero as the decks make for a comfortable ride.

Especially if you are riding long distances, Zero have gone to great lengths to create a comfortable journey for the user.

Take the Zero 11X for example, which features a motorcycle-style twin steering pole with an ergonomic handlebar that curves towards the rider, thus eliminating the user having to bend forward or lean backwards.

Whilst the hydraulic spring suspensions and shock absorbers create one of the most comfortable rides on an electric scooter that we have ever seen.

And with the adjustable stiffness in the shock absorbers, you can tailor your scooter to the terrain you’re riding one, whether that’s on-road or off-road.

Why Off-Road Buggies Are Lots of Fun!

Riding up a mountain, overcoming quick-sand and driving away from a T-Rex chasing you is no fun when you’re alone. It’s much better to share these moments with someone.

And that’s why part of the reason riding an off-road buggy is a lot of fun, your children can share those moments together… maybe not recreating some of those moments mentioned at the start, but certainly riding through challenging terrain and exploring a local forest with Mum and Dad whilst on a walk.

And it’s not just because brother and sister can ride together in their own buggy, off-road buggies are lots of fun for many reasons.

Let’s take a look.

Chaos Powerboards: The Best Electric Scooters For Adults

You may think that electric scooters are for kids who can’t drive a car yet or afford an electric bike. It’s a great way to ride around without using too much physical energy and getting from A to B in a short amount of time.

The Chaos Powerboard range brings electric scooters to adults. Whether you need it for a cheap and sustainable way to get around, or you’d like to find your inner child, Chaos brings the fun back to adults.

With 48v up to 1600W brushless motors, long-lasting battery life and a cheaper alternative to other electric bikes and scooters on the market, we ask, are they the best electric scooters for adults?

Brushless Motor

The 1600W brushless motor delivers on peak performance, with longer riding times, a smooth, seamless ride where acceleration is almost instant.

In comparison to a standard brush motor, the brushless motor ticks all the boxes and you’ll notice the difference when riding.

And holding four batteries totalling 1600W this powerboard scooter gives you plenty of power!

Large 6” Sports Wheels

The big wheels on the Chaos electric scooter help when riding off-road as these sports tyres can handle more challenging terrain.

Ultimately, however, you will get the best performance on concrete or a trail track rather than uneven and more complex terrain.

With large sports wheels also comes a level of comfort when riding and the added full shock absorbent suspension means that this scooter will deliver on comfort and precision when riding.

High-Quality Design

The Choas Powerboards comes with a unique design that can be subtle or striking, depending on which you go for!

The wooden deck brings a sense of classic appeal to an otherwise modern scooter. The rest of the scooter is a Chromoly steel design, where the high-quality of the scooter shines through.

It’s designed using state of the art techniques and as a leader in the electric scooter market, Chaos specialises in this area and it’s not hard to see why with a range of powerboards like this.

The seamless one-touch fold away system makes the scooter easy to store, it’s relatively lightweight too so that it’s easy to transport and carry.

Buy Online At Fun Bikes

The Chaos Powerboard Electric Scooter range is a very popular product range and is constantly on and off our shelves, so if you’re thinking about buying an electric scooter, don’t hesitate to get a Chaos electric scooter online at Fun Bikes today.

Could The Amped A10 Be The Best Balance Bike?

Now, before you think we are being biased, although we probably are just a little bit, we simply can’t get enough of these Amped A10 Balance Bikes. These little head-turners landed here at FunBikes late last year, and since their arrival, they have been making an impression with all the little ones. From those who visit our showroom to our own staff members children – these Amped A10’s are seriously hot right now.

And we can see why!

What Are The Amped A10’s Best Features?

With both children and parents raving about the A10’s we thought we’d take a closer look at what makes these balance bikes such a popular choice. It really didn’t take much thinking about when you take a closer look at the spec!

So, here we go.

Undeniably Cool

There is simply no denying that these little balance bikes are pleasing on the eye. The combination of super-sleek, sporty styling and colourful finish really gives these bikes some real character and presence, especially within the skate park!

Lightweight But Powerful

These colourful characters are currently one of the lightest balance bikes available on the market, which is perfect for both little ones and parents!

Being such a lightweight design, the A10’s is perfect for children to manoeuvre and push with absolute ease. However, when the inevitable happens and either your little one gets too tired to ride or simply rides the bike out of juice, a parent can carry the bike without breaking a sweat!

But don’t be fooled by their size, these balance bikes are fuelled by fun and can certainly pack a punch. Powered by 5.2AH Lithium Battery your keen rider can enjoy 30% more riding time in comparison to other balance bikes on the market!

Easy To Charge

The Amped A10’s features a removable battery, which means when you’re little one has tired their bike out; you can simply detach the battery and charge it inside your home. Forget trying to find a space in the kitchen for the whole bike or running extension leads out of the window to the shed!

FunBikes T-Max Roughrider 100w, 70cc Quad Bikes offers your child a lot of fun!

It can be hard seeing Mum or Dad in the drivers’ seat all the time and that’s why we wanted to put the kids in the driving seat of their own T-Max Roughrider Quad Bike.

But if you’ve never bought one of our quad bikes before, where do you start?

With so many different options available, it may start at the design of the bike itself, but it doesn’t stop there.

In this article, we’ll be giving you the ultimate guide to our T-Max Roughrider Quad Bikes, so that you know what to look for when buying the perfect quad bike for your child.

We’ll be looking at:

• Top 5 features of the T-Max Roughrider Quad Bike

Top 5 Features of the T-Max Roughrider Quad Bike

We believe that our bikes are like no other on the market today.

With a wide range of designs and features, you can find the perfect quad bike for your child.

And whilst it gives your child a sense of independence and control, we’ve added parental controls in our bikes, just to make sure that you can still maintain full control over how fast they can go on the quad bike without hurting themselves.

Of course, as they get older you can change the settings to reflect their experience and their age.

But that’s the boring parent’s stuff!

Really what your child wants to know is what colours the T-Max Roughrider Quad Bikes come in, how fast they can go and if they can rev the bike!

Let’s take a look at the top 5 features of the T-Max Roughrider 100w Quad Bike, that’ll even make Dad jealous.

Electric Key Start

Rather than worry about your child jumping straight onto the quad bike when you’re not looking and riding away, we’ve made sure that you need the key to start the bike.

This is great for parents who want to allow set times for when their child can ride the bike as well as adding to the realism of a child riding their own motorbike.

Garden Fun from FunBikes

Want to get the kids off your back so that you can put your feet up in the garden and unwind in the glorious Spring sunshine?

We hear you parents!
