Whenever I look back on my childhood, I am extremely envious of today’s children. All kinds of new high-tech toys emerge in an endless stream, and the children play with great joy. In addition to our common dolls and Lego models, major automobile manufacturers have also launched various electric toy cars, off-road small motorcycles, etc., and there is no lack of ATV, which is a gradually emerging market. Not only does this increase the interest of the kids, but it’s sure to excite dads who also love cars.
If you are looking for such a “big toy” for your child, then you must keep your eyes open for the two ATVs that will be introduced next—the 2018 Yamaha YFZ250 and the Polaris Outlaw 50. Personally, I often take my children to the local dealership store. For children, this is more interesting than the park playground they often go to. When they see rows of machines, they will be inexplicable excitement. As Christmas draws near, imagine what it would be like for your children to receive a different Christmas gift that morning? The small ATV we are going to compare today is especially suitable for children around 6 years old to play.
First of all, in terms of power, they have many similarities. For safety reasons, both ATVs are 49cc single-cylinder air-cooled four-stroke engines, equipped with CVT automatic transmissions, chain drive, and only forward gears. Still for safety, both engines have speed regulators, and parents can set an upper speed limit according to the child’s age and technology. Both are electric start, but Yamaha has also added a manual start.
In terms of chassis suspension, the 2018 Yamaha YFZ 250 shares many similarities with the larger-spec YFZ 450R. Front double-wishbone independent suspension provides 6 centimeters of wheel-hop travel and 5 centimeters of rear suspension travel, much like a larger-spec sport ATV. In addition, the ground clearance of the whole vehicle is 8.9 cm, which ensures the daily play needs of children. As for the Polaris Outlaw50, the front and rear suspension strokes are both 7.5 centimeters, which is better than that of Yamaha, and the ground clearance of the whole vehicle is also greater than that of the former, which is 10 centimeters. In terms of tires and rims, both ATVs are equipped with 16-inch Duro tires and steel rims.
In terms of weight, the Yamaha YFZ 250 has a curb weight of 99 kg and a fuel tank volume of 5.6 liters, while the Polaris Outlaw 50 has a curb weight of 96 kg and a fuel tank volume of 4.5 liters. In terms of selling price, the official guide price of the former is US$3,049 (equivalent to about 20,000 RMB), while for Polaris Outlaw 50, the official offers gray and pink paint, and will be equipped with a flag and a children’s helmet, the guide price It is 3099 US dollars (equivalent to about 20,000 RMB), which is very cost-effective.
If children like cars as much as their parents, then the family is really happy to play with cars.
