You’re welcome! I appreciate your support and comments!

Just purchased one for my son from Tractor Supply. I read a lot of bad reviews then went and bought it. The reason is because Coleman doesn't assemble them and rely on dealers to assemble them. I am a mechanic and took it to the shop and gave it a thorough look over and torque check. I had to align the tires better and bring the pressure for 20 psi down to 7psi. I found a few bolts and nuts that needed to be snugged up. The chain was tensioned way too tight via the axle adjustment so the auto chain tensioner couldn't do it's job. The oil was a little low so I warmed up the engine and did a oil change with some 15w40 synthetic oil. Other than that it seems to be doing great so far. My boy absolutely loves it. For the price it was worth the check over and allowed me to get familiar with it. Being a mechanic most of the bad reviews about the no start issues I could tell were from user error like fuel cut off and choke not being used. The throttle limiter comes fully closed from the manufacture and needs to adjusted out or it will drive very sluggish or not at all (which was most of the bad reviews). Yes, Colemans customer service was the biggest compliant I read so I'm not wasting my time with that. Thanks you for your videos.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I think this is a fair assessment. I kinda feel the same way. My son loves it and it has been worth the extra attention to keep it going. I just wouldn’t recommend it for someone who can’t maintain it themselves. Thanks for the comments and for watching!

[@brianrhubbard]

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead It kinda reminds me of my first homemade gokart LOL. Yeah your right about that. Should have been advertised as a "Skill level 3" youth ATV LOL

[@ethanhunter4077]

Finally a new KZbinrs worth watching!! Thanks for sharing!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks, Ethan!

[@jaye2865]

He's a great rider for his age. Nice controlled drift coming out of that donut at 10:20. I'm here because I'm looking at this unit for my son. I also watched some of your later videos about it's faults. Reviews are mixed, but I don't mind a little extra effort for this entry price. My son is a little older (but smaller) and I just want to test the waters. We just have a couple of flat acres to putt around on. If he gets into it then I'll get something bigger and pass this one down or keep it as a project. You have a beautiful place there. Subscribed.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I appreciate the kind words! I hope the machine does you well. We bought it because it was what we could afford at the time. It served its purpose. I tried to make it clear that while it ultimately didn’t work out to well for us, we were also very hard on it. Best of luck and thanks for watching!

[@jaye2865]

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead You were very clear and thorough in all your videos. Excellent content.

[@sloothlothos1]

Nice! My mom just bought one to get around her farm a little easier. Thanks for uploading the review, I have a 6 year old too and think he will definitely enjoy this.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Awesome! Thanks for watching. I’ve been trying to keep giving updates on it. My son still loves it, but we have also had to make a fair amount of repairs. I hope she enjoys hers!

[@FumblingButtons]

My boy busted his bumper the first day too... Right into the tree lol luckily he was only rolling to a stop.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Lol. I’m glad I didn’t replace his. He ran into the back of me yesterday and that would have broken another one. Today he ran it off into a ditch and actually flipped over the handlebars. Once we determined he was ok, we laughed at him. 😂

[@Willfish568]

I have the same four wheeler I got mine at tractor supply to. I love it iam so glad you made this video.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

That’s great! Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy your four Wheeler!

[@Willfish568]

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead thanks man

[@kiwi-bp6uo]

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead would this pull up a steep driveway with a person 180 pounds? I'm not looking for speed just horsepower.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

@@kiwi-bp6uo I would probably say no. It will pull me around on level ground, but we have found some trails that my 85lb son can’t go up, because it doesn’t quite have enough power. It is good for what it is, but not a lot of power.

[@pacmanghostbutt9398]

What an awesome place to live.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thank you! We love it!

[@Ghostgaming4-j4z]

The compartment under the front rack has a bunch of wires in it and if you loose spark check your CDi box if not that check there

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks for the tip, Bud!

[@brucewatkins7163]

I have noticed that ours is definitely not a snowmobile. It is built light enough that I don't let kids ride much in deeper snow or ice. I am not sure the rear end can handle the slipping and grabbing action. That is so hard on chains and clutches that I am afraid we will blow out the drive line. We break out the youth snowmobiles for snow and ice.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

We were pretty hard on it and because of that it lasted no time. Just not built to be rode hard.

[@TexasJAGD]

Looking for one for my 7 year old.... after a few months, would you still recommend it? it seems decent and priced right.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I don’t regret buying it, but I have had some issues and Coleman has not even responded to try and help fix it. Check out my latest video where I talk about it. Long story short, bolts fell out of the sprocket and broke the chain. I fixed it, but with no help from Coleman. It is worth the money if you are able to wrench a little on your own.

[@TexasJAGD]

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead got it, thank you!

[@kodyhudgins]

Cool bike.. the head lights started acting up a bit day 1 for ours

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Somehow our headlights are hanging in there. We tore a wire loose, but that was an easy fix…

[@FumblingButtons]

Have you noticed yours turns more to the left than the right?

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I think I had to adjust the tie rods to fix that on ours.

[@FumblingButtons]

Do you recommend threadlock for the bolts that work loose on front suspension?

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I didn’t use it on those parts and so far they have not loosened back up. I did use loctite on the brake caliper bolts and the sprocket bolts when they came loose. Hope this helps. I’m no expert, but I’m happy to share what is working for me and what isn’t!

[@FumblingButtons]

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead thanks so much... Spent the day wrenching and riding. Was a ton of fun. Your input is much appreciated. Will check the sprocket and brakes tomorrow.

[@chrisstepp3114]

Would my 8 and 6 year old beable to piggy back on this for ayear or 2? They are on smaller side, prolly 90, 100lbs combined

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Well, my 6 year old is a big boy and weighs 98lbs and it takes him pretty much anywhere so I’d say technically yes. Haha It struggles a little on hills so don’t expect a lot there…

[@justinkelly4140]

Hi I have one of these got it before you posted the videos I was wondering did you upgrade the clutch and if so where did you get it I burnt my sons up pulling my atv out the woods with it

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I haven’t changed a clutch, but when I found parts I mostly searched for Tao 125atv parts on eBay.

[@t4thfavor1212]

Just bought one of these exact quads for my son. 0.3 hours on the hour meter and 20$ worth of good synthetic oil in it, and boom no compression. Never had it past half throttle (because it needs to break in)...

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Surely they will take it back or replace the engine. I have since posted an updated review sharing some issues I’ve had. Nothing as bad as you just experienced, but I reached out to Coleman and never even got a courtesy response. I’m very disappointed in the company. I’m sorry to hear about your bad luck!

[@t4thfavor1212]

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead It's all good. They think they are going to help me troubleshoot why it won't start tomorrow when the store manager is in. It literally has 0 compression, I've been working on engines forever, sooo I'm going to just ask them to swap it out for the other one they have in stock and we will see where it goes from there.

[@t4thfavor1212]

They took it back and gave me another one. The new one seems to be running properly, and it's made it past the .3 hour mark just fine. I checked a bunch of the bolts and it seems to be mostly tight.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

@@t4thfavor1212 That’s good news! I’m glad that they took care of it.

[@yaaaboy3491]

Got one for my mom to cruise around on prob has about 35 miles on it. But now it smokes when I give it gas. Thinking maybe it’s the piston rings? Or valve seals? Def burning oil

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Ours smokes a little. Doesn’t seem to use much oil so it wasn’t too bad…. I’m sorry you’re having issues too.

[@helenhelps9619]

👍👍

[@Zjdiesel]

How well has the wheeler faired? Considering one for my girls.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Not really well…. It’s already been through and engine swap. Check out some of my other videos on the Coleman playlist.

[@ensbass5163]

What’s the top speed of the bike?

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I believe my son said he hit 22 in it, but the speedometer broke in the first few weeks so I’m not certain…

[@jessewhite4515]

Do you know the chain length size it takes?

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

No idea on length. It is a 428 chain. I just order a long chain and a chain breaker and made one the correct length.

Can I join in your videos? from Drew.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Drew, you will have to come out to the farm and spend a day with us and we will put you in a video. 😊

[@jevonvigil7161]

Thing has no power

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Nah, it’s definitely for small kids. It pulls me around on flat ground, but hills and mud you can forget it. My 6 year old is still running the wheels off of it though!
