A popular family run quad bike business which has spent nearly two decades serving the Maldon community has opened a bigger showroom as their firm goes from strength to strength.

Quad Bikes R Us owner Kerry Marven was joined by representatives from Yamaha UK to officially open her new showroom in Heybridge.

The new premises and showroom in Maldon Trade Park highlights the full range of Yamaha bikes including the Wolverine side by side, YXZ 1000R and a selection of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) for adults and juniors.

Kerry said: “We have been in business 18 years and working with Yamaha for 16.

“We moved from our old site in Great Totham to establish bigger premises and become an exclusive Yamaha dealership selling the full range of leisure, sports, and utility ATVs.

“We are a family run business, here to help anyone who wants to enjoy these exciting machines.

“We can advise on which are most suitable for their individual needs, and we have a workshop on site to help existing owners with spares and repairs.”

Kerry has worked closely with Yamaha UK to develop the new showroom, which also stocks the full 2022 range of Yamaha riding and leisure apparel.

“We have had so much support from the Yamaha team, and I feel we have really improved the business by making this move,” she continued.

“The showroom looks amazing, and we have really enjoyed welcoming customers old and new.

“Our best seller is the YFM700R sports ATV but since Covid hit we have noticed a huge interest in the junior machines with parents looking for fun activities at a time when holidays were not possible.”

Demand for all-terrain vehicles has risen since the pandemic, Kerry says, with many looking to spend more leisure time in the UK.

Whilst more than happy with her latest move, the business owner still has aspirations for the future.

She added: “I have a fantastic team here and I would like to see that grow so that we can one day open the first Yamaha superstore in the South East.”
