Fushin USA Recalls Youth Model ATVs
A Texas distributor has voluntarily recalled Fushin ATVs for not having front brakes among other things. The 90cc quads sold for a few hundred bucks and were, obviously, made in China.
I can't see myself putting my kid on a 90cc quad that has no. front. brakes.
If you or someone you know has one of these quads, please let them know that they can take them back for a free fix, and that it'll be well worth it considering the consequences.

I have been riding since I was 4 yrs old. Front brake should not be used unless stopping on a large hill going up. Going down can flip the unit with front brake. Also for sudden stops it helps enhance the quicker stop. People forget these were intended for light back yard riding first time riders. Having rear brake only is fine and is realy all that is nessary. The saftest is four brake system where front and rear brakes are on all at the same time for young riders.
Wait, what?
Are you saying that it’s OK that there’s no brakes on the front because you might only use them under certain circumstances?
