But to give you a quick overview, we talked about the Shark RV50, The GT80 Trail Blazer and the Mud Rocks Trail Blazer 150.


In this article, we’ll take a look at these three buggies and give you more information on them.

The Shark RV50

Designed with children in mind, this go-anywhere little buggy will tackle steep banks and hillsides to thick muddy tracks!


With a better specification than any of our rivals, the Shark Micro RV buggy now includes a 4 point safety harness and a push-button electric start!


Controls define simplicity with stop / go foot pedals and a throttle restrictor so you can set the desired speed.


The Shark is also quiet, making it ideal for home garden use, and is extremely robust.

The GT80 Trail Blazer

The FunBikes GT80 Trail Blazer is the new updated, and improved version of our best selling GT80 off-road buggy for kids aged 10 and up!


This midi sized buggy will take on all kinds of terrain from steep hills to muddy lanes. It’s a breeze to drive as it’s fully automatic and will provide fun and entertainment for years.


The 200cc engine has enough power to carry two passengers with ease over all sorts of tough terrain. Fitted with twin seats with seat belts, allowing two riders to enjoy a great but safe off-road experience.

The Mud Rocks Trail Blazer 150

The Mud Rocks Trailblazer 150 has been eagerly anticipated since the launch of the smaller Trailblazer last year.


The new Trailblazer 150 is a full-size buggy suitable for adults and teenagers alike. It is powered by a tried and tested GY6 150cc engine that has been powering power sports products for decades.


The Trailblazer 150 is a must-have for all budding off-road driving enthusiasts.

Ready To Buy?

Head on over to the product pages to get your brand new off-road buggy today.


Whether it’s the kids buggy or the adult buggy, they’re really exciting and you have to ride them to fully understand why.

Our customers often get in touch to ask us, where they can actually ride their quad bikes once they buy them.


And our answer is usually the same.


If you have a road legal quad bike then you’re allowed by law, to ride your quad bike on the road.


But that mostly applies to adults. As children should not be allowed to ride on the road without a drivers licence and be under the age of 17.


With that being said, there are still plenty of places your children can ride their quad bikes and in this article, we’ll look at some places to go, just to give you an idea!

In Your Garden

Perhaps the most obvious place that comes to mind is your garden.


Your child won’t be disturbed and if they’re playing with their friends, then it’s just as enjoyable for them, no matter where they are.


Furthermore, you can keep your eye on them, especially if they have an accident and hurt themselves.


In order to prevent any accidents though, you should definitely buy all the necessary equipment and protection for peace of mind on your part and their own safety for theirs.

In A Forest

If you live in an area where you live near a lot of forests where people and families often go for walks, why not take the quad bike there for your child to drive around on?

If your child has never ridden a pit bike before but they’re convinced that this is what they want to do with their life, then there are things you need to know before jumping on the bike.


Entry-level pit bikes such as the M2R Racing KX110F and the KX125 pit bikes offer a complete introductory level into the world of motocross.


But at the end of the day, they’re still pit bikes, with a powerful engine and should be treated with responsibility and respect.


In this article, we’ll take a look at 3 things you should know before riding a pit bike.

Don’t Go Cheap On Safety Equipment

First and foremost, safety should be your number one concern and factor.


And we understand, you’ve spent all this money on a brand new pit bike for your son or daughter that, you want to save money where you can.


But safety gear should not be it. We would argue that you should spend as much money as you can afford on the safety gear first and then buy the pit bike afterwards.


That’s because you cannot put a price on safety. Helmets, goggles, riders outfit, elbow and knee pads, gloves and boots. These will all help keep your child safe when riding a pit bike. Because it is a motorbike, after all, just a smaller, entry-level version.

It’s NOT Like Riding A Bike

Many people jump on a pit bike or a dirt bike thinking that it’ll be similar to riding a traditional bicycle, this couldn’t be further from the truth.


When you sit on a bicycle your weight is on your bum as you sit and ride throughout the countryside or wherever you may be cycling.


When you sit on a pit bike, you don’t want to have all your weight on your bum, instead, you want to lean forward and distribute the weight evenly across the bike so you have more control of the bike and its movements.


Don’t just turn with your arms and hands, also turn your body slightly to mimic movements on a normal motorbike, this will help develop the fundamentals of riding a motorbike if your child wants to go that far up.


Now, we’re not saying knee to the ground here! But rather start to have your body in tune with the movements you make with the bike to help you when you get your next dirt bike or motorbike.


Sit comfortably and don’t sit too far back as you would on a bicycle, sit a little more forward, giving you more control over the bike as you ride.

Practice With The Bike Off

There’s nothing wrong with sitting on your brand new pit bike, learning how things work with the power turned off. And in fact, we’d encourage it! 

The Gotrax GXLV2 is a special electric scooter, as far as we’re concerned it’s one of the best electric scooters on the market today.


And this statement can be backed up by mentioning that it’s the #1 best selling electric scooter in the US and across the world.


And with a statement that big, it only made sense for us to add it to our collection here at FunBikes!


We always want to bring our customers the very best products from quad bikes to dirt bikes and buggies to electric scooters. And the Gotrax GXLV2 is the latest addition to our online shop.


In this article, we’ll be reviewing the Gotrax GXLV2 and looking at just some of the standout features this electric scooter has to offer.

The Onboard Digital Display

We love the digital display on this scooter, easily manage everything from cruise control, battery life to your headlights if riding around at night.


And from this amazing review from TechRadar, we know that the lower end electric scooters don’t have a digital display quite as good as the one on the GXLV2.


See how fast you’re going vs the battery life so you can push the GXLV2 to it’s limits or be more conservative to have enough juice left to get back home, all at your fingertips of the digital display!

Speed, Charge And Distance

Speaking of speed, how fast can this scooter go you might be asking yourself? The GXLV2 can reach speeds of up to 15.5 mph, perfect for long road cruising and enjoying a ride out with friends or family.


As for charging capabilities, a 3-4 hour charge is all this scooter needs to be able to head on out the door, and ride!


You can go up to 12 miles on a single charge, so we’d suggest considering turning around when you reach 6 miles, just to be safe that you can get back home!

Amazing Value For Money

So let’s wrap up. The digital display, the speed, charge and distance and, not to mention all the other amazing features that the GXLV2 has. We think it’s excellent value for money.


And right now, we’ve dropped the price on these scooters from £415 to just £299! A bargain if you ask us!


Still need convincing? Here are some more features to help you make the right decision.

• Dual braking system
  
  
• 14-degree incline capability
  
  
• One-step folding system
  
  
• IP54 water resistance
  
  
• 250 motor with 36v Lithium 5.2ah battery

Hopefully, by now that should have given you a really good overview of the Gotrax GXLV2 and whether you choose to buy this electric scooter or not is completely up to you.


But for the current price of £299, mixed with some of these fantastic scooters that you probably won’t find anywhere else in an affordable scooter, you might want to consider the features and benefits one more time!
