The reason its so popular rn is because of Ed March and his KZbin series driving it across Moab his channel is called C90 Adventures.

When I was an 8 year old my 18 year old brother gave me a Honda sl70 motorcycle. I lived on that bike. I would go into the everglades for 40 miles and no one knew were I was as long as I made it home for dinner. South Florida was a great place to grow up. Thanks Bro!

My folks had something a bit similar to this when i was a kid. It had four tires and a steering wheel but only sat one person. It had an air-cooled Briggs & Stratton around 8 horsepower. They would let me drive it around the yard for an hour or so once a week, unless it was winter. It had some belt driven contraption bolted to the underside. It was kinda fun. When I was done riding it the grass would be shorter.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@Chris-Rife I remember the odyssey! And the Banshee. Both were way ahead of their time. And I hear ya. We came up without having this kind of stuff. Friends did which was cool. May be why I love gear so much now. Blessed to be able to test and tinker with different machines.

We had gocarts, minibikes, and really cool small motorcycles when I was a kid in the late 60s. I rode a Chris cycle right down the road and cops never stopped me as long as I wore a helmet and rode like I had some sense. People were a lot more chill back then. I never thought cops hated kids.

We had cool stuff when I was a kid in the fifties. We had a Model A with body off and a wooden bench seat and small pickup-style box and buick wheel rims. We tore around the farm and particularly enjoyed pulling up to a meadow muffin with rear tire and spinning the tire through it.

Back in the day you would take a cutting touch to an old 40 or 50s car and turn it into what we called a duddle bug. They were great on those old logging roads of northern MN hunting grouse. Those we're the days my friend, thought they would never end...

[@JoeTheFarmer]

That sounds amazing.

[@markbrown9765]

We had an old gas tractor. My dad took the seat out of back of an International Scout and welded it on the tractor facing backwards behind the tractor drivers seat. That was our "ATV" back then. For us kids it was our pipe trailer tractor, bail trailer tractor, go check the sprinkler lines tractor, get around the farm tractor. We had a couple spots where the path crossed a small stream. Used to take visitor kids out then stop in the middle and dump the clutch to buck them into the creek. Every once in awhile my dad would catch me or my brother out somewhere making the tractor do wheelies. They weren't anything to write home about but it would pull the front end off the ground.

[@sscbkr48]

I had a small pedal version in 1951. Going downhill was a steep learning curve.. the pedals would speed up mashing your feet. I was quite independent in my little Jeep, often cruising around the block. I was by far the coolest 3-4 yo in town! 😆

I grew up riding a riding lawn mower my grandfather built. I would take that thing up hills over humps and almost flipped it a few times. Had a blast

[@Kristian_Saile]

We have one on our farm for our kids. They love it and have learned great vehicle handling skills. I recommend frequently check hardware these regularly and using lock tight as they have issues with hardware coming off. Also they come way over inflated so getting the tire psi down to single digits helps the ride tremendously. Ours was so loud when we got it, then I noticed the chain tensioner was rubbing the chain on the frame by creating too much tension. It has two springs, so I removed one siring and problem solved. So I would definitely check that out. It’s been great other than that stuff. My 3 kids rip around and I have used it to drive my 4 year old on trails while her older brothers were riding their dirt bikes. My wife and I fit on it fine too for cruising into town.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@@zchris87v80 not that I know of. But some sxs’s are able to be registered in certain states but it varies based on where you are located.

I’ve seen these on sale for $1,700 but they are normally around $2,500 for anyone curious. It’s pretty much a really cool “toy” and go to point a and b. Not too much utility in it. I could see me son having fun in it when he turns like 10+. Rather get this over those plastic battery ones for $200-$600. But if you’re just doing light gardening work about your house, this is a good option over spending $11k on a Kubota or similar. Big differences there, but also $9k between them.

when i was 12 took an old lawnmower and made a sort of go cart with grandad..was a craftsman lawn tractor that we stripped off the hood and widened it then put a 12 hp motor onbit and finally added a seat wasnt as fast but it could pull well. actually pulled several VW bugs out of snowbanks with it...had tire chains and a snow plow too for it made some winter cash plowing drives and sidewalks ...used it 3 years winter a n d summer then picked up a old farmall a and used that.. wasnt as much gun in summer but dar better in the winter...

I think a roll bar might be a good idea for kids. Especially if you mount some cool spotlights on it.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Can’t disagree.

[@larrycurrier290]

I'm thinking roll bar because you have seat belts. Tractor rules no roll bar, no seatbelt. Roll bar seatbelts.

It needs beefing up all around. Then a roll cage. Also, id make it a 1 seater with the steering in the middle.

[@jeepfreak81]

They are fun, but they are junk. The spare and jerry can weight started breaking the back of ours off, among other issues. 6 months in the gear indicator quit, the first week the steering separated at speed. If you buy one you have to tear them all apart and locktite everything. For me it isn't a big deal as I can fix it all, but for the folks that aren't I can see it being a nightmare.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Did you warranty any of it? I can see how things will rattle for sure; but thats any gokart. Are you still riding it?

[@jeepfreak81]

@@JoeTheFarmer We still do use it, but not a ton. My kids don't have much interest in it sadly. Ours was Icebear branded. We got it in 2018. I bought it from a local motorsports dealer because they claimed to go through them and do all the prep to make them better. When I hauled it back to show the dealer after it rolled when the steering separated 5 days after Christmas when my kids got it they said "It's Chinese, good luck" and "we said stuff loosens" I fully understand equipment, and rattles etc, but the steering should not have completely separated after maybe 1.5 hours of riding. I have a Streaker go-kart that was my original one in the 90's, and it has 1000+ hours on it and never had the stuff loosen up like this one. Everyone tells me to blame the dealer, or I should have assembled it myself. My experience has been that none of the bolts at all were properly tightened, or locktited to the point it was dangerous. I eventually tore it down and checked everything.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@jeepfreak81 I hear ya man. I think the hard thing about machines now is that they all need a thorough inspection and setup when they get home. I am yet to find a machine with grease zerks that gets greased when it leaves the dealer. I’ve dug through it and it appears really well built/assembled. Massimo has an assembly facility in TX and they have it dialed in man. Do a great job with prep. But still, always keep an eye on bolts loosening. Appreciate you sharing your experience brother!!!
