Differences between sport and agricultural styles
Whether you want a quad bike in Perth to pull a trailer full of sheep and cow food, or you want a super bike that’ll have you flying high over whatever the track can throw at it, the perfect quad bike is out there waiting for you. The differences between sport and agricultural quad bikes are more than cosmetic, so it’s important to consult with business you’re buying or renting a quad bike.
Farm quads
If you need some heavy duty quad bike power for farm chores around Perth then a utility quad bike is the better choice. These come equipped with useful additions such as winches and tyres better equipped to handle mud and water.
Increased size and weight, combined with low end torque and optional four wheel drive paint a picture of a beast of a machine, which sacrifices speed for efficiency and the ability to power through really rough terrain.
Better suspension gives a smoother ride and keeps all four wheels on the ground; essential if you’ve got a sensitive cargo or are out working alone.
Sport quads
Sport quad bikes are all about the speed. You want to rev the engine and burn away from everyone behind you. Leaving your friends and enemies with a face full of mud as you crest a hill and bounce your way to the next checkpoint is standard with the additional speed and power.
These machines are designed for quick bursts of acceleration and sustained optimal performance. It’s easier to get these bikes off the ground, perfect for tricks and jumps, however the suspension will let you feel every bump and lump of the track. Quad bike hire is great for testing out what kind of bike you want.

It’s a question most 250cc quad bike riders have asked themselves, but insurance for your bike is often a good idea. It’s a question of whether you afford to replace your quad bike if it breaks or causes damage. Like any other insurance we all think we can do without it until that crucial moment that something goes wrong.
Weigh up the factors of what would happen if your bike when wrong. For agricultural users this could be an essential part of everyday life taken out of action. For large farms it’s essential to be able to check on livestock and all corners of your property every day. For a sport user it could mean your favourite hobby is taken out. Quad bike hire and insurance should therefore be discussed at the time of purchase.
Sometimes a quad bike can be covered under your homeowner policy, as they’re generally not classed as road worthy vehicles. This is great, however check the small print; some damage is only covered when it happens on your property. Not so great for people who want to experience the best of Western Australia’s tracks.
Often taking safety courses or training in specific aspects of riding a 50cc or 250cc quad bike will lower your policy cost, so enquire with your provider. Also check with them about the addition of custom equipment. If you love to customise and upgrade your quad then make sure it’s covered! One crash could see anything from tens to thousands of dollars go up in smoke.

Quad bike hire in Perth is a great activity which can be done all year round. As seen in the video above, quad bikes are extremely versatile and resilient, being able to withstand pressures and environments which other vehicles are simply unable to cope in. It is difficult to imagine another vehicle which allows you to drive sideways over earth while giving a couple of friends a lift.
(Don’t try these tricks at home! They’re performed by professionals).
Whether it’s glorious Aussie sun or a chilly, muddy day, you’ll be able to hire a quad bike and go for a ride. Nothing will stand in your way. If you’re going out for an adrenaline rush over the barren outback or taking a tour of your land to check on the sheep, a quad bike will be the perfect vehicle to suit your needs.

People across the country are in agreement that quad bikes Perth provide a great opportunity to have fun. Racing around, bouncing off hills and chasing sheep across the farm are all daily activities for people who love using quad bikes for work and pleasure. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that if not used properly quads can injure or even kill riders who don’t take pay attention or follow a simple set of guidelines. Fifty-cc or 250cc quad bikes are powerful off-road vehicles and need to be treated as such.
The most important trick of staying safe on a quad bike is wearing the correct gear. First and foremost is the helmet. Helmets come in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes, so the fashion conscious won’t have to put safety in second place. Helmets will protect your head and neck if you fall, and visors or goggles will protect the face from stones or dirt. Reinforced boots, pads and clothing, can prevent scratches and grazing.
Riding a quad bike in Perth requires concentration and care just like driving a car. Some of the same rules apply, like don’t operate a quad bike while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep your hands on the bars at all time. Common sense also needs to be taken into account. Don’t turn, especially sharp turns, if moving at a high speed, don’t use the brakes while turning and keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the person in front of you.

Quad bikes are a versatile vehicle; while many use them to take on extreme jumps and tracks in an off road leisure capacity, many use them as a useful tool in everyday life, such as the farmer or hunter. Quad bikes have the benefit of being easy to handle and usable across various locations and conditions. There are a huge range of accessories available which lets you fully customise your 50cc or quad bike to suit your needs.
It’s essential that you buy the correct protective clothing. Failure to wear a helmet could result in injury or even death if you misjudge a jump or accidentally fly off. Helmets come in a range of colours and styles, and it is also possible to customise with graphics or cool designs. Other safety gear includes protective pads, jerseys and thick boots. Consider investing in them all; even the smallest fall could leave you bruised and grazed if you didn’t bother with the best gear.
One of the most useful and necessary accessory purchases you make will come in the form of the quad bike trailer. Unfortunately, one of our custom built quad trailers was stolen last year and it has been sorely missed.
Quad trailers will let you transport your quad bike from one end of Perth to the other, at speeds much greater than your quad can manage. Most trailers are simple to use, lightweight and best of all can also be used to transport motorbikes or other items as well. This could be the best accessory you buy, and one which will open up all the best quad bike tracks you could never make it to in the past.
