Free Shipping and 3 YR Warranty on all units! (Read below to see why we do this.) WE SELL ONLY 1ST RUN PRODUCTS Not all Chinese made Products are equal. (Whether it be Adult, Teen, Youth, or Kid ATVs, Dirt Bikes, Mopeds, Scooters, or Motorcycles) There are 3 degrees, or "runs" of production on these units. Basically there's first shift, second shift, and third shift workers. The first shift, or "1st run" units are built by the most skilled workers. They have worked for the factories the longest, resulting in a very low number of defects because of the attention to detail. These "1st Run" units are sent to the companies who do the largest importing volume of these products, there is more quality control over the parts that go into the units, better carburetors, starters, coils, electrical parts, thicker grade of steel in the frame, better weld points etcÂ… More volume = More Quality Control (We only deal with these large importers) The second shift workers or "2nd run" products are a medium grade of quality because production steps up a little faster. Workers are not as skilled as the first shift. The third shift workers make the "3rd run" units, the workers on this shift are getting paid on how many units they can put out by the end of the day (and they are just slapped together it seems)....resulting in a product that is hard to assemble because the parts don't exactly line up. (You literally have to bend some of the metal parts to get things to line up properly) They're not made to last. They end up with numerous defects. Some you can see, but in most cases, you don't find out until you ride it a few times. These workers are the new hires, most of them start at the factory as steel cutters and welders making the steel crates that the bikes are shipped in. These 2nd and 3rd run bikes are the ones sold either on road sides, on eBay, or at the flea market. But the problem is, you can't find the guy who sold it to you after it breaks due to defects. Some companies sell 2nd and 3rd run units online and only offer a short warranty period - 30, 60, or 90 days or even try to sell you a longer extended warranty We have a real “brick & mortar” store, as well as an online website for customers who aren’t near us. You can meet us, face to face, see the quality, buy with confidence, and come back for parts or service if you need it in the future. You can call us if you have questions. We offer a full 3 year warranty online and in our retail store. We don’t have to worry about customers coming back to us with problems, because we are confident in what we sell. If you run across a website that you are not sure is selling 1st run products or not, try to call them, most won’t even answer the phone. And many do not have retail stores, they just sell online, which means that they have never even assembled or ridden what they sell, they just have it drop shipped to you. When they don’t answer, or if they don’t even know if they are selling first run products or not, just call us, we have had dealings with many of them, they call us for parts all the time. We can tell you most of the time exactly what they are selling. Feel free to Contact Us The information below has to do with the legislation recently passed to prevent children from eating the brakes and battery terminals on their new atv or new dirt bike. On Wednesday, 2/11/09, the mud hit the flaps for thousands of motorcycle and recreation vehicle retailers across the country: All of them had to cease selling off branded models of a kid atv , kid dirt bikes, small off-road motorcycles and ATVs designed for kids, because, according to a provision of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, the machines are dangerous. Not because a child might have an accident on the cheap atv or dirt bikes, go karts but because if a child develops an appetite for the device's brakes or battery terminals and decides to eat the ATV or motorbike, lead poisoning may result. The new legislation is intended to prevent the sale of items containing lead that could be ingested by a child. Motorcycle and ATV retailers and dealers in the U.S. who sell child atvs, and youth dirt bikes designed for children under the age of 12 that do not meet the limits for lead and phthalate are staring at a $100,000 to $15 million fine. The regulation takes an estimated $100 million worth of inventory off the sales floors of some 13,000 dealers immediately. It also impinges on manufacturers, makers of aftermarket equipment and everything from racetracks to distributors. Ty van Hooydonk, director of product communications for Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC)'s Discover Today's Motorcycling program, notes that the ban encompasses some 19 models from just Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki, as well as reputable online dealers like Olson Power Sports. He says the assumption that kids enjoy licking and chewing on brakes, suspension parts, tires and battery terminals is flawed. "I really love bikes and ATVs, and have since I was a kid. In all those decades, I never once had the thought or desire to nibble on one, or lick one like an ice cream cone. I've also been around a whole lot of kids dirt bike over all these years. I've still never seen one of them who thought their bike might be tasty," he says. Industry reps say the lead used in motorcycles and ATVs is embedded in alloys but is not easily transferred to humans through typical use, the way lead in paint or infant toys would be. The lead-content provisions of the act were originally aimed at children's toys, but while the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has stayed some provisions of the act, it has not done so for the motorcycle and ATV industry. "We were left out," says van Hooydonk. In response, the MIC, the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) and member manufacturers two weeks ago filed petitions for temporary exclusion for certain ATV and motorcycle components, parts and accessories. Paul Vitrano, general counsel at MIC, said the essential problem is the breadth of the law, which went into effect on Tuesday. He says the law applies to lead content in all products for children 12 and under. "The basis [of the MIC and SVIA petition] is that these parts that contain lead are unlikely to be handled by any other way than by hand," he says. He says the MIC has not yet received a response--"but we are very comfortable with regard to the facts and very optimistic that the petitions will be granted because we have made a showing under the law that the risk to children is nil." But Vitrano concedes that timing is of the essence, since spring is a huge sales season for motorcycles and ATVs. "But timing around when relief would be granted is unclear," he says--adding that for the past few weeks, MIC has been urging dealers, suppliers and enthusiasts to contact their members of Congress to express support for the industry's petition and contact them directly. It was the weirdest thing, if you were to walk into Olson Powersports after this law passed and there were no mini-bikes, no ATVs, no kid atv on the whole sales floor, only Adult ATV, Adult Dirt Bike, pretty big selection of Go Karts, and inexpensive Cheap Scooters. Being in this business for 8 years, there's been nothing like this. We can't even sell used ones--we can't sell helmets, goggles--nothing for kids." He says dealers knew this was in the wind, but didn't take it seriously. Then came a memo from Suzuki (and the other manufacturers) to dealers: "They said we are at our own risk if we sell products for kids. We had to put mini-bikes and quads [four wheelers] in storage; it's depressing." Suzuki is covering interest on the machines* until Feb. 28 for all affected units. Many in the industry say the ban kills future sales. "If kids don't start to ride by the time they are 10 or 12, they probably won't. We all started when we were kids; it builds brand loyalty, and you look forward to your next bigger bike or ATV. Says van Hooydonk: "Applying these regulations to ATVs and motorcycles is doing nothing to improve safety; instead, by making these unavailable to for kids to enjoy the sport in a responsible way is creating a dangerous situation. We don't want to see kids on adult motorcycles and ATVs, but when you take [the mini ATVs and dirt bikes] out of the equation, you run that risk." The good news is, Olson Power Sports were one of the first off brand dealers of these kid atv and dirt bike to make the change to pass the new stringent higher quality regulations and has been selling the units ever since. While some kids atvs are cheap atvs you can find olson powersports reviews here, some pocket bikes and dirt bikes are sometimes considered scooters. We also carry cheap Mopeds and cheap dirt bikes, and olsen powersports review youth atvs located in the city of new braunfels are not street legal scooters. Chinese Mopeds aka cheap scooters and kids 4 wheelers really are a form of motorsports or some say olson powersports reports. Kazuma and sunl as well as tao tao atv, and terminator atv and hunter atv are good. we sell all of them and offer free shipping dirt bikes. 50cc dirt bikes and 125cc atvs are great. Not all kid atv with bike tires are olson powersports review sites50cc scooters. Cheap Moped with cheap 4 four wheelers and kids quads are not the same as imported go karts. Cheap go karts and cheap utility vehicles can be really fun! Kid atv is not a brand name, but olson powersports complaints that jackel atv is and so is tao tao atv and sunl atv, but when you consider how a chinese atv is built, we have a 3 year warranty because we only sell first run atvs and dirt bikes. Chinese made honda oem clone copies can also copy yamaha by manufacturer. While mini atvs are mini atv sauce, cheap wholesale dealers can be of use .Dealers of atv products sell cheap dirt bikes free shipping! what a mouthfull! | | POPULAR: 110cc ATVs 125cc ATVs 150cc ATVs 250cc ATVs 400cc ATVs Kids 50cc Dirt Bike 125cc Dirt Bike | ||
