Would I buy another Coleman AT125EX Youth ATV? [After 3 years of owning it]

We bought the Coleman AT125EX Youth ATV [Kids 4-wheeler] 3 summers ago and I often get asked - how does it run? Would I buy it again? How do you start it? Is it safe?
I try and answer all of these questions about the Coleman kids ATV [Coleman AT125ex] in this video.
As far as a Chinese-made 4-wheeler I don't have any issues with this one that is branded Coleman AT125EX. With 125cc, it has more than enough power to haul my kids around the acreage without breaking the bank.
Enjoy our video.

My kids have had one for 4 years, never had any issues with ours. They love it, I’d definitely buy another one!

[@pamryan2984]

Great video thank you for doing it!

[@HomesteadReliance]

great review! I did a review of the Utility version of of this "AT125UT". My wife is small and we also did not want to pay $3k+ for a Polaris Youth model. We paid around $1200 at tractor supply with a sale and coupon. Only worry I have is the starter sometimes sounds like it's going to "grenade". Not sure if it's made out of pot metal or plastic. But I do worry about the longevity of the starter. We are going on about two years.

[@WoodwardAcres]

So far my spoiled kids ride it when I say “ride it or I’m going to sell it” which is about twice a year. I hope things work out long term for youn

[@EnmanuelTorres24]

nice atv, I bought a yamaha grizzly 90 and I pay triple the price, I never knew about this one. we put the grizzly to a lot, and its been good so far!

[@WoodwardAcres]

Yamaha is a great little machine! Thanks for the comment

[@fleshgear211]

We have had great luck with ours 2 years in. We have a arctic cat 90 for are younger son and it doesn’t run near as good as the Coleman. I will say the Coleman had to much top end and not enough bottom end power as we don’t ride out in the open and more in the trails. So I replaced the sealed carb with one I could tune and put a larger rear sprocket on it and now it’s perfect!

[@WoodwardAcres]

I don’t think I am mechanically inclined to do what you just said hahaha

He will love it!!! Glad this helped

11? He just about outgrown it already. WE drove 300s by time we was in 6th grade

8-9 sure. Just.. yea

[@JodyAikens]

My daughter has been riding since she was 5 and her sister would ride with her. They are 9 and 8 now. They have a Polaris sportsman 110 now. And I am looking a atv for my 5 year old son. And I think I just found it.

[@WoodwardAcres]

Polaris 110 is a really nice machine, glad that has worked out. I looked but had a hunch my kids might not drive it that much and I was kinda right. I have had a good experience with the Coleman so I wouldn’t be scared. Thanks for the comment.

I got mine for my son for $500 new from tractor supply,as is, because they couldn't get it started. 1 wire pin popped out of a connector. How could their workers not figure that out... lol

[@truss6282]

Saw 2 of these at tractor supply today 1699. I thought they looked good for the $. Checking out videos now.

[@WoodwardAcres]

For the money you won’t be disappointed. Thanks

[@Equals488]

2 bumps with our remote start and ours stated right up. Ours has shift lever. Like found on other types of models. We found deep leaning allows the rear to slid more. Deep lean more over the the front wheels then just out. It drifts like crazy. Stay on the throttle and pluse it once it starts to slide. We plan to put a 34mm pixie carb w/ cone air filter and a performance exhaust. Once, our son get use to riding the heavy gas 4wheeler vs his slow light electrical.

[@WoodwardAcres]

That sounds cool but definitely outside of what I know about. Thanks for the comment

[@lawrenceweber2010]

bought 2 of these for $999 ea a few years ago. always problem with starting with starter barely cranking over even with new and higher amp battery. now troubleshooting why neither has spark. bought a cheap 110cc ATV that seems to have better components, starts and runs every time

Where is the hour read out? I noticed on your dash cluster is shows 0.000 trip hours or miles but you've had it for 3 years. Just bought one for my son that why I'm asking. Thanks in advance!

[@ShawnWoodward]

It resets every time you ride

[@oneconcept22]

Make sure you change out the OIL in this thing. It's shipping oil and it needs real oil immediately... It's small print in the manual.

[@WoodwardAcres]

WOW - I found the book and you are right, in the fine print it says that. 100% honest I have not changed the oil yet but will. Thank you for the comment

yeah have to get a run at any hill to have a chance of making it up

[@clinthemphill]

I've had this same one for 2 years and absolutely despise it! Bought this and the 2 seat go-cart for our twins couple yrs back. This thing has never ran right or at all, usually. Has NEVER started easily or in the cold at all. Replaced the electrical CVI box under battery, sensors on handlebars all good, it's in neutral, gas is good and it's getting spark. WTF am I missing???? p.s. The same brand Coleman 196CC Go-Cart is pull start but works great, no issues at all. This ATV has less than an hour on it. Great Video BTW.

[@WoodwardAcres]

sorry to hear of your experience

[@AshleyNMaster]

Could you tell me the ages that you bought this for? My son is 8 is it too much for that age?

[@WoodwardAcres]

My daughter is 8 now and my son was 7 when I got it. I really tighten the he screw to prevent it from going to fast when we got it but now I have loosened it up. I was basing things more on size than age.

[@doug3819]

I have a small property and wondering can a adult ride this 4 wheeler just to get around my property. I am 65 not going to be going fast.

[@WoodwardAcres]

Depends more on your size- I’m 6’6 290 so that’s a hard no for me. My wife is 5’4 and could put around if she wanted to. They sell a 200cc that would fit you no problem

[@anitaellwanger948]

When we give ours gas it stall ? Grandson got it for Christmas

[@WoodwardAcres]

Is the choke on or off?

[@Equals488]

I did like the video, just I don't think the age of that machine is accurate. Ours was $1600 and Tractor supply has financing via a store card. Mine has a $5k limit.

[@WoodwardAcres]

The age is accurate but my kids just don’t ride it very much. Most of its life is spent sitting in the garage

[@braydenlowe2024]

@@WoodwardAcres no unfortunately I do not!

[@Equals488]

I think he could be misleading, because the tires still has the nibs, the tire tread is not worn, not even the back tires. Plus, the plastic is shining like new and no scuffs, not one.

[@WoodwardAcres]

My kids don’t ride it much so it just sits most of the time. I didn’t lie but I certainly understand your perspective.

[@crains4ever193]

I think that is because they are riding in a pasture. The terrain they are riding on in the video wouldn't wear the tires hardly at all. It's obviously kept in a garage or out-building and not out in the weather. I don't think there is anything misleading just because the atv is still in great shape.

Ya right, people by ATV's just to ride on manicured lawn. Bought same machine last week in Canada $2500. Machine bogged down and quit going through our hay field. Started again, drove to our mailbox and back (less than 1/2 mile) and machine bogged down and quit. Returned machine next day full refund. Conclusion: off-shore junk with a Coleman sticker on it.

Hondas 90 is $3499, Raptor 90 is 3299. This Coleman is $1699 right now, so not 4-5K more but 1600-1800 more. And those machines are far more reliable than this Coleman. Not hating, just facts. I think if you get one for $999 it's a fantastic deal, but those prices are not a reality right now.

[@WoodwardAcres]

Yeah I don’t understand how the price almost doubled. I don’t believe I would buy my kids one with those prices
