Kid-Sized ATV is Back! - For youth ATV riders age six years and older, proper learning starts with the Kawasaki KFX®50. Featuring a wide 27.6-inch stance, full floorboards and environmentally friendly air-cooled, four-stroke engine, the KFX50 makes a good foundation for young learners, thanks to its intelligent parental control features, easy electric starting, and beginner friendly performance.

An adjustable throttle stop, CVT transmission, speed limiter and lanyard safety switch allow parental control while the rider's ATV confidence and skill levels increase. Once riders are confident enough to operate the KFX50 on their own, parents can still retain control over its operation, thanks to the keyed ignition which help prevent unauthorized use.

The KFX50 has styling like that of the larger KFX models and boasts features such as electric starting, single-shock swingarm rear suspension, A-arm front suspension, dual front drum and single rear disc brakes. This compact entry-level ATV also incorporates full floorboards, which provide extra comfort and safety for the rider.

As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride responsibly and to respect the environment. Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100 for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.

Genuine Kawasaki Accessories are available through authorized Kawasaki dealers.
