Cheetah 125 One Year Review - Watch before you buy

[@erinpatterson9930]

Thanks, been looking for a non sponsored review. Also was great to see it hauling around an adult and put through its paces. Was very helpful. Thanks again.

[@JacquesScott-h2i]

thanks you answered all my questions, nice vid man, i've subscribed...

[@Motox365]

Great video!! I did the same to my Tao 110 now I just sold it and the daughter wants this one. I kept stable in the gas and it never gave me no problems. Had it for 6 yrs. What site did you get it from. Sorry if you had mentioned it I might have missed it. Thank you in advance.

[@toolstoys70]

Thanks 👍🏼. Killermotorsports.com

[@robertpluszczynski4383]

Thanks for the honest review!

[@oddfellowsrem]

How did you manage to ride a wheelie? We’ve tried but no luck, any special maneuver to pull it off? Thanks, great video! Just received Cheetah yesterday 7-5-23 and did wheel spacers and shocks during assembly 😊

[@toolstoys70]

Others have said that too. Maybe ours is a little snappier. I does take getting all your body weight into it and finding the sweet spot of throttle control.

[@evanseymour4172]

And what a great review! The skin so many more likes

[@chronictoker4203]

What size of rear wheel nut does it take ?

[@JAMTOAM]

i got one last week for free 2012 has been used in 4 years i charge battery started and drives im going to change oil and put fresh gas and look over it wanted to know what should i be looking for and also where can i get front tires

[@toolstoys70]

Nice find. Sounds like you got the basics figured out. Clean/change the air filter. Maybe just check if there are any grease nipples you can fill, check chain slack and lube that as well, check over nuts and bolts for anything loose. For tires Amazon works or local shop. You may need a shop to install anyways but the tires there will cost more. Check the size you have now before you buy but likely you can pickup something like these for it: amzn.to/3Oqn6y0

[@dsrta645]

Bought mine at 40 hours. Sitting at 98 hours right now been unbelievable fun perfect for me I’m 25 first quad I’ve ever ridden well worth it

[@toolstoys70]

Wow cool to hear!

[@cotyleavitt4317]

25 lol

[@YoungBamily]

@@cotyleavitt4317 what’s wrong with that wtf ? you’re bored

[@thekoreyway9272]

Hope you enjoy it bro.

[@thekoreyway9272]

@@cotyleavitt4317not everyone gets to do what they want when they are kid. These are so fun especially in the winter

[@JacquesScott-h2i]

how fast is this lil quad? does it feel quick at least or is it just one speed "slow"?

[@toolstoys70]

It’s not very fast. Being a single speed limits it. Using it in a smaller area it can feel quite quick though. Especially for kids.

[@rosalindamena5947]

Where did you buy it?

[@zacheryashworth7255]

Mine is fun on small tracks and cor ers, but its very tiring on straight aways

[@toolstoys70]

Yes it’s not fast enough and too much vibration on straight trails.

[@richmondprofinishes]

Have you upgraded or had to do anything to the carb?

[@toolstoys70]

Nope. Stock carb, stock jets. With running ethanol free gas I haven’t needed to clean the carb out yet.

[@oddfellowsrem]

Do you keep your tire pressure @ 5psi like manufacture recommends?

[@toolstoys70]

5 will give you good traction. We run around 10 so we can drift around better on the grass.

[@Shrined]

Do you have any tips on how to make it faster? Or how you remove the governor.

[@toolstoys70]

You can change the sprockets. Depending on your sprocket tooth choice it will either make it accelerate quicker w slower top speed or accelerate slower w higher top speed.

[@Corona32]

And add heavier variator rollers 1 or 2 grams heavier

[@stephenpreston3797]

change the carb jet. there are 2 jets inside the carb..the idler jet and the main jet if you increase those jet sizes the engine uses more fuel but it does go alot faster be careful tho to much and you risk flooding it. also look into a better cdi.....the cheap chinese ignition boxes arent the best build

[@tonybologna139]

Does yours vibrate? Mines does it like crazy!!

[@victorbenitez8507]

I have the same atv but mine doesn’t turn on anymore?

[@michaellambeth3921]

Can you say anything about how much of a hill it can climb with a 190LB person? With that weight would it only be good for flat terrain?

[@toolstoys70]

Depends on the hill... My yard has decent hills and its got plenty of power for that. Any trails we have been to have been flat.

[@RobChapala]

Im 140 and feel like I'm going to break it every time I get in my daughter's

[@grasongoodman7171]

Do you have to put it together when you order it

[@toolstoys70]

Yes, unless you buy from a local dealer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5KYgXqeYrpkjcU

[@tonybologna139]

What’s the bolt size? I need to get paddles tires

[@toolstoys70]

I’m not sure anymore. I even checked my wheel spacer order and it doesn’t say.

[@derek25x16]

Do you have a link for the wheel spacers?

[@toolstoys70]

If they still have them I got them here: www.whygostock.com/atv-wheel-spacers-for-tao-motors-atv-and-go-kart-2-125-200-250/. Check out my video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWa3n3eigKh2p68si=jYKeIq7aKrxkwL5s

[@JAMTOAM]

have u ever had to tighen the clutch or ajustment

[@toolstoys70]

No, clutch works good still

[@eagleflight7501]

Any one know how to stop that deadly vibration when u open it up.

[@AndrewBurtonS-group]

thanks for the video :)

[@mushroomon]

Were get them spacers for the tires at?

[@toolstoys70]

Whygostock. Link to the rear spacer video which also has link to the spacers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWa3n3eigKh2p68

[@mushroomon]

@@toolstoys70 OK man thanks

[@jesusmaryandjoseph6]

I'm 6'1 200lb guy I've always been curious whether a cheetah would be big enough, and what's the deal with ATVs transmissions?

[@toolstoys70]

I would say it’s too small for you to use anywhere but your backyard. Most atvs are multi gear manual transmissions. The trans in this is single speed. But not the same kind as a snowmobile or car with at cvt. This is literally just one gear trying to balance enough torque with enough top speed based on the sprocket choices.

[@LeSiZmOr]

Good info

[@matthewaaron664]

You should try putting a winch and a plow and see if it works

[@toolstoys70]

ha I would lean towards that it would not. My driveway is also a big hill so maybe I could plow down but not up.

[@DanielSalazar-m9d]

What year is the quad?

[@toolstoys70]

2021

[@Random.Adventures.]

You think 5'6 150 pounds will be ok with this atv. And is it automatic since i don't know how to use manual shifting thanks

[@toolstoys70]

Yes that will work. Not what it’s intended for but yes it will work fine. For reference I’m 5’11 165. It’s really for my kids who are obviously much smaller.

[@edwardanderson5801]

It's the same as a coolster that I have same boby same lights and same wheels. I issue with it is it has no speed after a certain RPM it sounds like it's screaming for another gear.

[@toolstoys70]

Being a single speed it will top out quick if you have the room to open it up. The top speed is made for kids safety I assume.

[@stunna9010]

how is the reliability on the Cheetah?

[@justinkuhn132]

In my personal experience good. Other people have been less lucky. We use it for around the house and small trails only.

[@dsrta645]

I’ve had one for over a year, put 50 hours on it bought it at 40. I weigh 200lbs so it’s working hard. Has been a blast. Ridden dry and hung up wet just change the oil and hope you get the 1/3 good motors that come on these Chinese quads

[@rkt81]

The website is not working. DO you know, if its available in Canada or where I could order one online?

[@toolstoys70]

Ill check the link. Try this. www.killermotorsports.com/taotao-125-new-cheetah-sport-kids-atv.html Not sure if they ship to Canada. Couldn't find that info...

[@-jimmyjames]

turn the nuts backwards. spacer problem solved. good review, thanks much!!!

[@toolstoys70]

I will try that out. Thanks

[@stephenhall5430]

How much are they

[@toolstoys70]

I paid 1250 few years ago shipped unassembled.

[@eDAWGBrantford]

Looks like you barely have half of the wheel spacer threads fastened by the wheel nuts. Typically want to see a decent amount of thread coming out of those nuts no? Your most likely not even utilizing much of the blue vinyl thread lock built into the nuts?

[@toolstoys70]

Yes you are correct. They didn't loosen up but I did end up using locktite on them later.

[@jmtgolf2756]

I'm getting this for my 6 year old because I can turn the speed down with the governor

[@wendyd2831]

How did this workout for your 6-year-old? I'm looking to get this for my 7 1/2 year old grandson and overall the reviews seem pretty good. What do you think after a year?

[@pipefitterdirtbikerider3013]

These things are super cheap to fix not the greatest bike but for your kid you can’t complain

[@RobChapala]

I've got this and the 125 dirt bike...def not a Honda, you get what you pay for, if something on the tao is less than you prefer, upgrade it..

[@JAMTOAM]

i need to replace head and brake light

[@toolstoys70]

Should be easy fix. As you saw in my review the headlights are basically useless.

[@Motoreger]

These small ATVs are intended for children and possibly teenagers, but not for adults! Everyone expects special performances and abilities! In this case you need to buy something more serious!

[@thekoreyway9272]

Lame. These are fun. Spend your money how you want.

I blew a head gasket within 10 hours lol.
