Kids ATV for Sale — Youth Quads from $899

Kids ATV for sale starting at $899 — youth quads for ages 6–14 with speed limiter, parental kill switch, automatic transmission. Free Philly pickup.

A first ATV should be small enough to control, safe enough to forgive a beginner's mistake, and cheap enough that you don't panic when it tips over the first weekend. ScooterLand USA stocks 30+ youth ATVs starting at $899, every one with a parental remote kill switch, an adjustable speed limiter, and an automatic transmission — no shifting, no stalling, no surprises.

We've put kids on quads since 2008 — more than 15,000 vehicles sold since then. Visit our Philadelphia showroom to size your child to the right ATV in person.

Sizing a youth ATV to your child

Rule of thumb: a child should be able to put both feet flat on the ground while seated, reach the handlebars without leaning, and squeeze the brake lever with one finger. 50cc quads fit kids ages 6–9 (40–80 lbs), 110cc fits 9–12 (60–110 lbs), and 125cc fits 12–14 and small adults (90–150 lbs). Bring your child to the showroom — we'll size them up in 5 minutes.

Safety features that come standard

Every youth ATV we sell ships with a parental remote kill switch (cut the engine from a distance), an adjustable throttle limiter (cap top speed to 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 mph), an automatic transmission so kids never stall, and a low seat height so they can put feet down at any speed. Helmets, gloves, and chest protectors are sold separately — the CPSC and we both strongly recommend them.

Pennsylvania ATV laws for minors

In Pennsylvania, kids under 8 cannot legally ride an ATV on state lands. Ages 8–15 must complete a state-approved ATV safety course before riding on public trails and must wear a DOT helmet. Private property has no age restriction, but riders under 16 must always wear a helmet. The course is free and offered by PennDOT — we hand out signup info with every youth ATV purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size ATV is right for an 8-year-old?

Most 8-year-olds fit a 50cc or 110cc youth quad. The deciding factor is weight and reach, not just age — bring them to our Philadelphia showroom and we'll size them in person, or call (215) 288-6118 with their height and weight for a phone recommendation.

Are youth ATVs safe?

Modern youth ATVs come with a parental kill switch, adjustable speed limiter, and automatic transmission — three features that didn't exist on older models and make a huge safety difference. With a helmet, supervision, and the speed limiter set to 5–10 mph for beginners, they're as safe as a bicycle.

Do I need to register a youth ATV in Pennsylvania?

Only if you ride on state lands or public trails. Backyard and private-property riding requires no registration. Public-trail riders age 8–15 must complete the free PennDOT ATV safety course and wear a DOT helmet.

How fast does a youth ATV go?

Top speeds are 25–35 mph wide-open, but the throttle limiter screw lets parents cap it at 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 mph. Most parents start kids at 5–10 mph and raise the cap as confidence grows.

Do you sell helmets?

Yes — we stock youth and adult DOT helmets starting at $49. Buying a helmet with your ATV gets you 15% off the helmet price.
