Kids Electric Quads, Motorbikes And Go Karts

Not every kid wants a car. These are the electric quad bikes, ride-on motorbikes and go karts in our catalogue. Age guidance runs wider here than anywhere else on the site, from 6V toddler quads to 24V drift karts that start at 8, so read the age range and maximum load on each listing before you read the price.

How this list is built: Listings in our catalogue that are a quad bike or ATV, a ride-on motorbike, or a go kart. 18 whips currently qualify. Sorted by: Lowest price at last check first. Prices are as last checked (8 Nov 2026); confirm with the retailer before buying. No paid placements. Methodology

What to look for

  • The age range and maximum load on the listing. They vary more in this group than any other.
  • A parent remote. Most quads, motorbikes and karts here do not confirm one, so they suit kids who can steer and stop themselves.
  • Motorbikes for younger kids: training wheels, or a three or four wheel design, and a low seat.
  • Go karts: the published starting age, a seat belt if listed, and flat, open space away from the road.
  • A helmet and close adult supervision for every ride, whatever the listing says.
