Just spit ballin... but I'd think the hip surgery would make the smaller side by side the logical choice. No tossing the leg over the seat to ride. You could always do what my dad does and ride the thing side saddle!

Only concern with CFMOTO, Massimo, Hisun (all Chinese brands) is wiring. I haven't owned a Chinese made ATV or UTV that didn't have electrical issues. Loose connections were the biggest issues but it can be frustrating when you're out and about and the thing decides not to start. First thing I'd do before considering the Chinese UTV's and ATV's is research common problems. For my Hisun (they make Cub Cadet UTV's) it was electrical and head gasket issues.

A plus for the Chinese brand UTV's is the cost of parts. Rather than buy my parts through a Cub Cadet dealer, I went online, found a parts breakdown for the Cub, then typed the part number in a search to come up with the corresponding Hisun part number and ordered that part.
