However there may be gaps in your quad biking knowledge that you really should know for you to get the most out of your quad bike. 

Helmets and Safety Equipment 

You would think an essential bit of kit like a helmet would be compulsory to wear in the U.K. However, did you know quad bike drivers and passengers in England, Scotland and Wales do not have to wear crash helmets? Although this is the case, for your safety, we would highly recommend you do. Gloves for extra grip and if you are a child, knee and elbow padding would be wise to get into the habit of wearing. At Quad Warehouse we stock a range of quad bike helmets which can be found on: https://www.quad-warehouse.com/accessories 

Off Road 

If you are using your quad bike off road, you do not need to apply for road tax or need to hold a current driver's licence.   

If you don’t possess a large bit of land, there are many courses around the U.K. that offer various gradients and levels of difficulty that allow you to bring your own quad bike. Either a bonafide course or a friendly farmer that will grant permission for you to drive on their land. 

Children 

It’s essential that safety is the number one priority when children jump onto a quad bike. Helmets and safety pads are a must!   

Our 49cc quad bikes are ideal for children between the ages of 4-8 years old. We have installed an engine that has just enough torque but controllable power with a safety lanyard and throttle restrictor. Its suspension is adjustable and includes an automatic clutch which is easy to use. The wider track front wheels enable the quad bike to pick up speed safely.

Get Outside 

If you are an adventure seeker, what better way than to incorporate this with a bit of speed! Being outside gives you a dose of vitamin D and the chance to experience some stunning sceneries and the more you get out on your quad bike, the more your technique will improve.   

The Weather 

When the weathers rotten there are some activities you just don’t want to venture outside with. However quad biking takes on a whole new dimension when the rain comes down and the mud gets even muddier and let’s face it, the U.K. can sometimes be all about the rain... Just grab your waterproofs, rinse your quad bike off with a pressure washer after you’re done and contemplate another challenge for next time! 

Basic Maintenance 

Keeping on top of your quad bike maintenance prolongs its life and as your safety is paramount, ensures you will continue to enjoy your outings. 

Make sure you wash it regularly and keep it in a dry environment. After washing it is recommended to drive your quad bike around for a while as this aids the drying process.   

Regular oil filter change, this will increase the performance of your quadbike. 

Lubrication of chains and cables - this will prolong the life of your clutch, sprocket and bearings. 

Tightening of nuts, bolts, wheel hubs - quad bikes are designed for rough terrain and rough handling, so it would be wise to double check all your parts regularly. 

Above all play safe and enjoy your quad bike.
