Polaris has introduced the Ranger 150 EFI, for riders 10 years or older.
This offers rider-safety technology designed for parents’ peace of mind while giving young riders the fun of driving their own vehicle.
Using a Ride Command app downloaded to a phone or tablet, and the vehicle’s digital display, adults can set riding boundaries for kids using a geo-fencing feature.
Also, a digital speed limiter sets speed limits inside and outside the pre-set riding areas, restricting kids to a speed appropriate to their age, experience and terrain.
A passcode-protected safe-start system controls who is operating the vehicle and when it’s operated, and a seatbelt interlocking device limits maximum speed to 9.7km/h until the seat belt is engaged. The machine comes with a high-visibility flag, two helmets, a protective cage, safety nets and LED daytime-running and rear lighting.
Painted in Solar Red, the Ranger 150 EFI is a two-seater powered by an electronic fuel-injected 150cc engine, with tilt steering and a 14.5-cm seat slider adjustable to the size of the rider.
It has 20cm ground clearance and 22-inch all-terrain tyres, a 22.7kg rear box capacity and options including roof, full or half windshields and front and rear bumpers.
