Frequently Asked Questions

Quad bikes and buggies
1) I was in the market for Japanese quad as I have heard they are more reliable, is this true?
Initially this was the case, but in recent years a lot of the components of Yamaha, Suzuki, etc are made in china as well as the assembly, now a days far eastern products are as reliable as the Japanese.
2) If your products are just as reliable how come they are so much cheaper?
The fact is when you buy a Japanese quad from yamaha, Honda etc most of the money you're paying is not for the item itself but profits of multiple companies. Quads from the Japanese companies will often go through an importer followed by a wholesaler followed by the dealer before it gets to you, each one of them adding their profits. We directly import from the manufacturers and so the price the customer gets is therefore much reduced.
3) I have heard that parts supply is a problem for far eastern quads etc, what If I order from fast quads do you have good spares back up? What if it breaks can you repair it?
We are connected with both the supplier and all their other main distributors and stock a wide variety of spares. If for any reason we don't have your spare will get it from another distributor within 10 days
If it breaks we will supply any spares and will put you in touch with mechanics in your local area which will be able to perform the repair.
4) What's it like to drive a road legal buggy or quad on road?
On road these machines handle very well, as they are rear wheel drive you use the throttle to help you steer through the corners faster and faster. They can very easily be made to get very sideways in absolute safety, the rush that these machines can give are unbelievable. The best thing is if the roads get boring for you just blast around off road and then drive it straight back home, no more trailers needed.

5) If I buy a rod legal item how often do I have to mot it what about tax and insurance?
These bikes do not their first MOT for 3 years after purchase, and thereafter every 3 years
They need to be taxed every year just like a car at a cost of £60

Very minimal, these bikes are fairly easy on wearables such as brakes, oil and belts. If well maintained budget around £50-£100 for servicing.

8) What's better a quad or a buggy?
These are inherently different in characteristic, a buggy drives more like a rally car and you have the benefits of 2 seats and greater safety if you are more used to cars the buggy is the ones to go for, the quad is lighter and freer but also you are more exposed as well as required to have good balance, so the quad is more suited to the biker.
