Girls are only 3 and 4 so not going with brand name for their first quads. Toss up between Tao Tao and Gio. Which one betweeen these and why?

Whatever you do... tighten every nut and bolt before they ride it.

I got a Panther 120 (I think) for free, when I bought my toy hauler. My kids wanted to test drive it. I said no. They bugged and bugged me. So I caved. They all have their own machines so I saw no reason for them to ride it. 2 laps around the house each. 8 laps later I was missing about 25 bolts and misc nuts. Even the axle nuts were spinning on the axle and the chain fell off. What a POS!

No one even sat on it again before it sold.

I bought a little Yamaha raptor 80 for my kids. It's gone through 3 kids now and I haven't even changed the spark plug yet. Just a thought but going with a brand name has its perks. A little more up front, no maintenance and BIG resale value. My kids all started riding it by 4. I hate pulling wrenches all weekend while camping.
