Interesting new TaoTao 300 quad
After years of improving (yes, believe it or not coming from a Chinese company) their scooters and majority-for-kids atvs, they have invested money and have come out with a seemingly decent ATV. Knowing how people have complimented their atvs for being better than expected, I imagine this new quad will deliver good quality. Yes, time will tell, but it looks good!

I like it. The armour underneath is well thought out, and the suspension looks decent. The trunk in the front is a nice touch.
It would be nice to have the CVT, rather than clutching all the time.

You guys get TaoToa in Canada I believe? Do you get all the same bikes as the US?

Maybe the atv's are the same, but we don't have many China dual sport bikes. I've never compared the atv's.

Looks cool, but it's a standard... An atv like that needs to be automatic in my opinion. I have 4 polaris sportsman's in various sizes and I can't imagine doing what I do with them having to shift....

The new 300F 4x4 is an automatic. It is not the older 300 that was a standard. Big improvement!
