Ok easiest atv for my Wife to drive. (She says No Gears)

Well my plans have been squashed till I get my other half something to ride. She says it has to be easy, twist and go, and it has to be somewhat comfortable but still capable. I was thinking Golf cart she didnt find it so funny.

Any ideas on a dependable one? I dont mind working on mine, but hers needs to be fairly reliable and consistant. Oh, and cheap too.

Thanks....

Many of the 150's are large enough not to be kids bikes, and are automatic, and cheap to boot!

Hey, that 150cc Kawi-esq SHARK is pretty cool looking. I hope this turns out to be a solid and popular bike. It was difficult to see from the picks, what the rear shock set-up is like. Just my opinion but I'd like to see more MIC atv's go in the direction of Linkage-style suspension...although I hear many V4s owners are happy with their standard style. L8.

sounds exspensive, i bought my 300cc online with free shipping for $2399 I havent seen to many places online that charge for shipping a mic quad.


and universal diver does it have to be a twist throttle? or is that just a term you are using, i can find you up to a 300cc automatic if you want to buy online.

I will only buy online. Its all about the $$$$$$ for me. I will fix my own stuff or park it and order another one for parts.

My, or rather Her, only requirement is that it be automatic. Twist or thumb throttle doesnt matter. Just no manual shifting.

My boy and I riding double ,was clocked at 43 mph (gps)on 150 auto atv...Vibrates like hell at 35-38 mph then smooths out again...likely some clutch work would smooth it out.

I bought one from Vbike for my wife. It is a great ATV, it's very fun to ride. The engine is a clone of the Honda GY6 engine, so aftermarket parts are a dime a dozen. Here is a link to it.
http://www.vbike.us/index.php?page=showpro&spid=26[/url]. The one I have is made by TaoTao. It has a different body style than the one on the web site.

Here is a pic of ours, price is $1099

It is a full size, both my wife and daughter can fit on it together. In fact it is slightly larger in overall size than my Vbike sport 250 V4S. The total width is 43" and is about 6ft long. This one is fully automatic and has reverse, a big plus.

I just ordered the 250cc Sport Utility from Vbikes! I doubt it'll make it here before Memorial Day, but it'll be fun for the summer.
