Bought this for one of my granddaughters for X-mas. We live in the lower Southwest and have fairly mild winters, with plenty of opportunities for her to ride her quad. She is 3 yrs. old and kind of small for her age. The quad does really good on desert like terrain and is easy to get going. I was unable to put the quad together but a family friend put together in about 1 hr. and spent another hour putting all the stickers on. This will be a toy that she will be able to use for 2 or 3 more years, so definitely a good boy.
