🏍️ How to Choose the Right ATV for Your Needs – A Guide from Cadmoto Limited
If you’re in the market for an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), also known as a quad bike, you’re in the right place. At Cadmoto Limited, we’ve been helping riders from first-time buyers to seasoned off-roaders choose the perfect ATV for over a decade.
But with so many types, sizes, and features available, how do you know which ATV is right for you?
Let’s break it down.
🧭 1. Determine Your Purpose
Start by asking: What will you use your ATV for?
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Recreational Riding: If you’re riding trails, exploring the countryside, or just having fun on the weekends, a lightweight sport ATV or mid-size quad is ideal.
- Work Purposes (Farms, Estates, Construction): Go for a utility ATV built for hauling, towing, and tackling tough terrain. These often come with 4×4 capability, racks, and robust suspension.
- Kids & Beginners: Safety is key. Look for smaller engine sizes (50cc to 125cc), speed limiters, and electric start options.
✅ At Cadmoto, we stock a wide range electric quad bikes to full-size utility ATVs ready for heavy-duty work.
⚙️ 2. Choose the Right Engine Size
Your engine size will impact speed, power, and what your ATV can handle.
- 50cc – 125cc: Perfect for children and young teens
- 150cc – 250cc: Great for casual riders and light farm use
- 300cc – 500cc: Ideal for general utility and trail riding
- 500cc+: Heavy-duty performance for farming, forestry, or serious off-roading

🔋 3. Gas vs Electric ATVs
Both have their pros and cons:
| Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Electric | Quiet, eco-friendly, low maintenance | Shorter range, longer charge time |
| Petrol | Longer run-time, more power | More maintenance, fuel costs |
Tip: Electric ATVs are becoming increasingly popular for kids and light use, and Cadmoto offers several reliable options.
🧒 4. Consider the Rider’s Age and Experience
- For children, opt for safety features like remote cut-offs, speed limiters, and low-speed gearing.
- New adult riders might prefer automatic transmissions to ease into the experience.
- Experienced riders might choose manual ATVs for greater control on technical trails.
🛠️ 5. Check for Safety and Build Quality
Always buy from a trusted supplier. At Cadmoto Limited, every ATV we sell is safety-checked, CE-certified, and comes with clear setup and maintenance guides.
Look for:
- Hydraulic or disc brakes
- Full suspension systems
- Protective brush guards
- Quality tyres for your terrain
📦 6. Do You Need Extras?
Some extras you might consider:
- Tow bars or winches
- Front/rear racks
- LED lighting for night riding
- Helmets and riding gear
