Hyosung kids' quads?

**Headbanger** · 25th September 2010, 13:38

Looking at getting a kids quad for my son so he can come riding with me, has anyone had any experience with the Hyosung 100cc bikes?

In usual circumstances I'd rather have an exotic disease then a Hyosung but they are quite a large bike which is good, sio Im interested in if the motor has enough pep to keep the bike moving down trails and over hills, and of course....reliability. Obviously I'd maintain the bike but I would expect my boys to thrash the arse off it.

The other consideration is an LT80.....

LT80 for the win!! Will never die and easy and cheap to fix if you reck stuff.
Im not overly familiar with the hyosung, have you got a link to one??

oh dear...

look, no offence but really? $1k to me is a fair amount of money to waste on crap - why not spend a little more and do it properly?

I'm quite capable of coming up with the "Hyosuck" input myself, But if anyone has any real world info on their quads then thats what I'm after.

Cheers.

Has DB been on recently? He could probably give you some excellent advice.

The Hyoslapper kids quads aren't that flash

the TE50 & TE90 are fickle runners at the best of times and the starter solenoid units fry easily, the suspension & wheel bearings etc aren't up too much abuse and the chain adjuster set-up is shit

A LT80 does easily run circles around them in ever aspect

We were getting them out of the crate with bent axles, buckled rims etc, I think some of them did well to get to the shop in one piece sometimes

The LT80 just keeps on trucking
Even the we Kwaka 80 that was sold as a promotional item with Hilux utes a while back was a lemon

strangled to buggery & curse to get going properly

you mean the 50, they seem reliable, just slow as, the new Suzuki 4 stroke ltz50 is the same,
