A forum for owners of Yamaha TTR250 trail and enduro bikes!

Hey! My 12yo son asks me to buy a car for him but he's too small :) So I thought to buy an ATV. I always wanted a car when I was a boy now I want to make my son's dreams come true. But I'm a newbie in this don't know how to choose the best one. My son asks one with sports car design :) But what should I take into account when choosing gas ATV? Is it legal in Chicago, IL?

Just wanna add my point after searching. So I've been looking for a gas ATV which both my wife and son would like and it was not so hard as we expected. After reading dozens of forums and posts like this one (a pretty good one detailed review) https://www.kidsatvsale.com/kids-gas-powered-atvs/ we decided to buy an Ice Bear (because of Spider Man design lol) with thick tires that looks like a real ATV. Now my wife is happy, my son is happy, that's the main point. The ATV is solid, it comes with remote kill switch so I can control the ATV from the distance (and my son won't know about it).

Yeah I know there are lots of claims about injuries and even deaths but we're not gonna get wild with driving, just fun in a safe speed putting on a solid helmet as well!​​​​
And if I'm not mistaken it's legal here so we can enjoy the ride.
