Engine buggy for a kid

No input but this looks awesome.. We run lots of small engines at work and find Honda or B&S to be the best for reliability and longevity..

They are all just toys imo.

Fine for a supervised slow run in the park but if you let 2 lads sit on that that will use it to its 'full potential' , it won't last a month.

Been there and done that with nephews. Bought new in the hope of some trouble free use and was a disaster.

Went back to Company after many repairs for a fraction of the new price.

Would you think of getting an old small car instead, I got my lads a VW polo that failed the emissions test and they got years of fun with it, 1 litre engine so only enough power for 2nd gear in the fields, cut the back exhaust box off it so you can hear it at all times and know what happening

I assume the op is talking about 10-12 years old.

Letting a 10 -12 year old off in a car in a field soons like a bad idea to me when you are not there.

Any of the idea in this thread are fraught with some risk. Wouldn’t be for me personally.

As a Dad of 3 boys I'm shocked at the ideas being thrown up here. I did however spend my teenage years racing clapped out cars around forestry roads and on stubble silage fields! Luck accounts for alot to get to adulthood unscathed.
