Questions parents actually ask

Choosing Between Them

What’s the difference between the FA40-NEO and the Sahara 40?

They share the same 40cc 4-stroke engine, 13 mph top speed with a parent speed limiter, 143 lb rider limit, wrist tether kill switch and front and rear disc brakes. The FA40-NEO adds an extra-wide cushioned seat, a bigger 1.8 L fuel tank (Sahara 40: 1.0 L) and a retro dune-racer body, and it ships 90% pre-assembled (Sahara 40: 85%). The Sahara 40 costs less and comes in more colors (8 vs. 4).

Fuel & Maintenance

Do these kids ATVs need messy gas and oil mixing?

No, absolutely not. Both FA40-NEO and Sahara 40 are powered by premium 4-stroke engines. You just fill them up with standard 87 octane pump gas, exactly like your family car. Say goodbye to messy mixing cans, stinky black smoke, and clogged carburetors.

Do they come fully assembled? I’m not a mechanic.

Don’t worry, they arrive mostly built — 90% pre-assembled for the FA40-NEO and 85% for the Sahara 40. All you need to do is spend about 20 minutes tightening the handlebars and wheels with the included simple tools, add gas/oil, and pull to start. No advanced garage skills required.

Safety & Neighborhood

How fast does a 40cc kids ATV go? Is it too fast for beginners?

Both of our 40cc ATVs top out at 13 mph. Parents can use the built-in speed limiter screw to lock it down to a safe walking pace — on both, the limiter adjusts anywhere up to 13 mph. You can walk right beside your kid during their first ride and open up the speed week by week as they grow.

What is the safest gas 4-wheeler for a 6-year-old first-timer?

Either one. Both have a wrist tether kill switch — if your kid comes off the seat, the engine shuts off instantly — and a parent-adjustable speed limiter under the same 13 mph cap that can be set right down to a walking pace. Start low, walk beside them, and open it up as they gain control.

Will this loud engine ruin my relationship with the neighbors or tear up my lawn?

Not at all. Our 4-stroke engines are engineered to be as quiet as a standard lawnmower, far quieter than high-pitched 2-stroke weedeaters. The power delivery is smooth and linear, meaning it will cruise over your backyard grass without spinning the tires and tearing up the lawn.

Are these kids ATVs street legal? Do I need a license?

No, these are off-road youth recreational vehicles meant for backyards, private farmlands, and designated dirt trails. They are not street legal and do not require a driver’s license or title registration. They are designed for pure, safe off-road family fun.

Investment & Resale

Is a 40cc ATV worth the money? What if my kid outgrows it next year?

These quads carry a hefty 143 lbs max weight limit, built for riders 6 and above. Size by your rider’s weight, not just age. Both top out at 13 mph, so you can open the limiter up as their skills grow. Best of all, FRP is a highly recognized US brand — when your kid outgrows it, you can easily resell it on Facebook Marketplace for hundreds of dollars.
