It’s a great idea for parents to ride around with their kids to make sure they have total control before setting the kids loose by themselves.
Parents can set a throttle limiter, and standard window nets will keep hands from touching the ground in case of a tip-over.

With every purchase you get a safety flag and a free helmet.
However, it will handle small hits like this one. With only 5 inches of travel at both ends, jumping is not the little RZR’s strong suit. Polaris sets an age recommendation of 10 years old. The smallest kid we have safely put behind the wheel is 4-foot-4. An adult 6 feet tall could squeeze into either seat, but it’s cramped quarters. The cockpit can fit all-sized kids well thanks to an adjustable driver’s seat. The little RZR starts easy by using a keyed ignition and a little pressure on the brake pedal. Expect to see more companies jump into this market eventually. Polaris is the only major manufacturer building a youth-model UTV. The closest thing to it has been the original 320cc Ace. The machine is two-wheel drive only, but we have yet to see a four-wheel-drive sport UTV marketed to youth drivers. And, the mill is mated to a fully automatic CVT transmission boasting forward, neutral and reverse gears. Power is still provided by a laid-down, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This year the MSRP set by Polaris is $4699 and comes in blue or white.
The biggest improvement was the addition of EFI. The RZR 170 has been around for about five years and has only been modified a little.
