  1. After watching the first one, I was thinking, “Isn’t there another with the electric ATV right next to the pool? You did not disappoint.

    BTW, I can only assume this is a carefully planned attempt at getting Social Services to watch the kids for a while so you can spend more quality time with your wife. Hope it works out!

  2. I know you said “electric” ATV just to goad me. I didn’t work. I’m mature now.
    Hmmm hmmm.
    doo di doo

    AHH DAMN IT.
    It a 49cc Kazuma50 GAS powered ATV with four gears and electric start!
    There. You happy now?

    Although it’s the cheapest one available, I must assure you, it kicks ass.
    Despite the warnings in the manual, first gear can haul my 180lb butt UP the steps in front of my house. Fourth gear can go about 30-35mph, which is scary on such a small thing. It’s also very quiet (the muffler is huge) and goes through little gas.
    For beginners, it also comes with a throttle limiter and a pull cord that can be attached to kill the engine if you yank on it. However, chasing your kids around with a “leash” gets old real fast.

    Thankfully, my kids haven’t figured out how to change gears yet.
    I’m confident that when this happens, it will lead to a whole new set of videos.

  3. Ah, so the risk of electrocution goes down, but the risk of fire/explosions goes up. Well done.

    Even with the gearing, the page you linked seemed to indicate you could throttle it down to keep the speed quite low. Does yours not allow that?

  4. Yes it does have that. I’ll repeat. “it comes with a throttle limiter and a pull cord.”
    Pay attention.
    There may be a quiz.

    It’s just a screw that physically limits how far you can move the throttle handle. It’s very hard to set because if you turn it just one turn too much, the ATV won’t have the power to go over little bumps. Yet once it DOES get going, the gear’s top speed isn’t really affected.
