125cc 4-Stroke Single Cylinder Engine

As with many of the junior quad bikes, the 4-stroke single-cylinder engine has become a standard and that’s because of the power it produces.


The 125cc motor allows for power where you most need it, off-road. And off-road is the only place to drive the Xtrax Quad Bike.


With the engine and power underneath you, there are really no challenges or obstacles this quad bike can’t take on and overcome!

Continuing with our series on the “3 reasons…” we’ve just had the Funkart Pro go-kart arrive and we think it’s awesome!


So much so that we’ve decided to focus our article this week on the new go-kart that we believe is going to become very popular.


We’ll be taking a look at both models, the 98cc petrol model and the 1000w electric model too and talking about three main reasons why you should consider getting the Funkart Pro!

Fast, Fun & Thrilling

If your child is undoubtedly a thrill-seeker or a small adrenaline junkie! Then the Funkart Pro is exactly what they need to curb their enthusiasm.


In the petrol models, the 98cc engine can reach speeds of up to 37 km/h! And believe us, on a go-kart, that is fast!


And that’s why we would advise that your child is comfortable driving a go-kart. If it’s their first time driving a go-kart, then we would advise going for the 1000w electric version.


The 1000w motor sounds intimidating at first glance, but with a low and high-speed functionality that can be changed in the settings, you (the parent) can stay in control and help your child get used to driving a fast go-kart, before switching them up to the high-speed setting.

Fully Safe & CE Approved

When parents think of go-karts they think of fast, unsafe miniature-formula one style cars! And that’s simply not the case.


Whilst they are fast and a lot of fun, we make sure that they’re 100% safe to drive even before we get them in stock.


It’s important to us that we make sure our bikes, scooters, quads and go-karts are completely safe to drive and ride for your children.


We do also recommend that you dress your children in the correct and appropriate safety equipment which you can find here. Just so that if anything were to ever happen, they’re prepared and ready!

Financing Already Available!

With the run-up to Christmas now right around the corner as summer comes to an end, we know that if you have many children all asking for different presents, that this time of you can be quite difficult for mums and dads and that’s why we offer financing to help ease the pressure of having to pay for large and expensive presents upfront and all at once.


Not only that but with the FunBikes Christmas Club soon to be back in action, you can buy now and select “This is a Christmas Gift” in the checkout and we’ll hold the present for you until just before Christmas kicks off!


This is because you may not have the room to store the present for the next 2-3 months until Christmas Day arrives and we want to help you at all costs, give your children the Christmas they deserve and easing the pressure for you, with financing the present.

Eco And Boost Mode

*Specifically for the Amped A16 Balance Bike


Eco and Boost mode is a new feature from Amped for their all-new A16 balance bike. It’s 2-speed settings which allow you to control how fast the bike goes.


On Eco mode the bikes maximum speed is 7.5mph whereas on Boost mode, the bikes maximum speed is 12.5mph.


The reason why we love this and why it rocks is because it’s great for everyone!


For parents it’s great to be able to control the speed of the balance bike, ensuring safety measures where they need to be and limiting your child to Eco mode while they’re young and turning on Boost mode for when they’re older.


And for kids, they will love their bike straight out of the box and as they grow older and start to get more confident and gain experience on the bike, turning on Boost mode will feel like a completely brand new electric bike for them as they will now be able to ride 12.5 mph!


Either way, they’ll love every minute spent on their balance bike due to the control and freedom they have over riding it, regardless of which mode they’re in.

Reaching speeds of up to 7.5mph it’s ideal for younger children who are just getting used to their new bike and who have never ridden an electric bike before. The Eco mode allows your child to learn the basis before stepping up to Boost mode!


Boost mode is limited to 12.5mph and is ideal for when your little one is ready to take the next step up. It almost becomes a brand new bike!


As they can speed away on long, straight flats, getting to grips of controlling the bike, pushing it to its limits! Although this is better suited for children who are more experienced on the bike and have been riding for months if not years!

Recently we’ve been reviewing our range of quad bikes that we have on our website.

But this week we thought we’d take a break and review adult electric scooters instead.

And in this article, we’ll be taking a look at the Zero 10 and Gotrax G4 electric scooters.

As always, we won’t be comparing the two scooters against each other but instead, taking a look at each of the features that both electric scooters have to offer to help you make a better decision when it comes to buying an electric scooter.

Zero 10 Electric Scooter

The Zero 10 electric scooter starts from a 1000w powerful motor and leads up to a 2400w motor. It really depends on what you’re going to be using the scooter for which will ultimately impact which one you decide to go for.

With an optimal range of 70km with a top speed of 48km/h, it really is a great electric scooter for any occasion and is a true workhorse scooter.

The shock absorbers in the front steering column and the rear twin hydraulic suspension allow for an all-round fantastic ride that’s both smooth and offers precision handling.

So it may come as no surprise then that the Zero 10 is the electric scooter rivals are trying to beat, but the Zero 10 keeps on outperforming competitors and remains on top.

The Gotrax G4

The Gotrax G4 is the bigger brother of the former GXLV2 and whilst the GXLV2 proved to be a popular electric scooter amongst our customers, Gotrax came back and upgraded their scooter and launched the G4 with so many new and exciting features.

Gone is the 250w motor found on the GXLV2 and in comes the 300w motor that powers the G4. With optimal speeds of 25km/h and a range of up to 45km, the G4 is fun and exciting to ride!

Other features include a fully built-in digital lock, IPX6 level of water resistance and large 10-inch wheels that add durability and stability while riding.

All in all, this is a great electric scooter to ride that has seen numerous upgrades compared to its predecessor and will no doubt surely be as popular as the GXLV2.

The Ranger 50cc Petrol Mini Quad Bike

Fun, fast and reliable, the Ranger 50cc mini petrol quad bike takes everything a quad bike should have and improves on it.

With an easy setup and start, you can pretty much ride this bike right out of the box!

The easy pull-start, improved carburettor and overall improved reliability mean that this is one quad bike you should seriously consider buying!

Let’s take a look at some of the key features of this bike.

Higher Grade Wheel Bearings

These give the quad bike and wheels much longer life and can handle the weight of your children as they continue to grow and get older.

This saves costs as you won’t need to find and fix a replacement.

Terrain

The Ranger 50cc is suitable for concrete, tarmac and mild off-road use such as gravel paths and flat grass. But this doesn’t mean that this is any less fun, you’ll see how much enjoyment your child will have riding one of these.

Rear Axle Safety Cover & Strengthening Bar

The last thing you want is an unstable and unreliable quad bike that is hard to ride and difficult to handle.

With the rear axle safety cover and strengthening bar, this allows for a smooth ride and handling for the rider.

The cover protects children from the moving parts and keeps them safe whilst riding the bike.
