In this journey, learning is necessary. The more we evolve, the more we get passionate, and the more we know. Imagine that you have a level 0: the best is to turn to a quad company who will offer you hikes, initiations or piloting lessons.
Until the day when, your passion having made its way, you find yourself wanting to buy your own quad .
Many questions arise during this first purchase, which marks an important step in the life of a pilot:
What is the most suitable quad for me?
The answer is simple... in theory! The quad that will best suit you depends above all on the use you are going to make of it (speed, hiking, crossing, use of use, romantic walks, group outings, works, transport, etc.)
Before buy your quad , you will have to clear up what desires you have as to its use, and as for the type of terrain you want to work.
displacement and quad size for a novice?
Different quad models exist in order to best adapt to the morphology and the use of the owner. As for the displacement, it all depends on you:
Do you want to drive in an urban environment? A quad between 50 cc and 125 cc is more than sufficient and perfectly suited to driving in town, while allowing you to go out a little from the beaten track to be tutorialing the dirt roads and other forest trails without difficulty. In addition, quads under 50 cc are accessible to drivers from 16 years old holders of the BSR .
The disadvantage of quads from 50 to 125 cc is that, although they are a good option for novices who want to start slowly, they can quickly seem limited if you are looking thrills and adrenaline. When you get some experience, you will eventually note the limits of your machine.
The quads with a power greater than 500 cc are not recommended either to novices, because too heavy to start in the activity, and therefore, more difficult to maneuver.
The ideal is between 250 and 300 cc . A leisure quad therefore, which will allow you to get used to the different reactions of the machine, and to stroll on different types of land.
Are you a girl?
The advice is exactly the same. On the other hand, you will have to pay attention to the weight. As we saw at the beginning of this article, the quad size must be adapted to the pilot's size, especially for comfort reasons.
There is no magic formula for find the right quad because there is no quad perfect. The best is to try, talk about it on the quad forums, and go to dealerships take some advice (even if you end up buying it used).
NB: Apart from if you drive in private ground, you will need to take an approved quad . Although a little more expensive (gray card, insurance, etc.), it will allow you to run safely and avoid many problems in the event of an accident.
Finally, you will need to pay special attention to the equipment, and in particular your outfit. Do not hesitate to make a ton: helmet with standards, gloves, knees, protection for the back, for the chest, combination, good boots ... Nothing is too much when it comes to protecting yourself when you are novice (and even after).
