What is safer for your 150 pound 14 year old son a quad or dirtbike?

[Edit]

Answer

quads are much safer. There are more wheels. Don't ever consider a 3-wheeler, even a dirtbike is safer than those.

Answer

yes but if you flip a quad they are much heavier and more awkward to flip back ove r i have been pinned down by a quad before and had to wait for some one to come flip it over for me dirtbikes are much lighter and you dont have to takes a class to ride one.

Answer

Also dirt bikes you can get away from but you are less likely to wreck if you follow the manual... (slopes, terrain, etc.) dirt bikes are more balance and sometimes faster, but you can get away from the dirt bike other than its competetor the quad which you can be crushed under.

Answer

Dirt bikes are safer then quads. There are many reasons for this, but the main one is:


  • A quad weighs twice as much as a dirt bike (at least).
  • If you can ride a bicycle you will not fall that much on a dirt bike when turning. On a quad, it's very easy to flip over when turning.
  • If you fall over with a dirt bike you have a 100 kilos sitting on your leg, however if you crash with a quad you've got 200+kilos sitting on top of you.


Matters how you ride it
