My son has one of those training bikes, he loves going down a slope, can't peddle a proper bike for toffee though. Rolling Eyes

bet he gets there quicker this way than with stabilisers though!

my boy was doing this less than two days after getting it, its been a real revelation to me, the way hes found his balance so easily. this evening he was riding across the living room with his feet up on the bars! Shocked

im really sold on the thing, very impressed.

Get him into mini moto racing at about 6.

I regret not doing it although it was up to my Dad.

He'll be next Rossi.

Exactly. Not sure whether he can master the brake as its quite a stretch on the fingers.

Next step a mini bike? But after watching the wife crash and break her arm on the monkey bike, think I'll leave a little PW50 for a while.

having gone the PW50 route with my eldest i wouldnt recommend them - they are far too heavy for the age they are aimed at, and the weight saps confidence and puts them off, thats why you see so many for sale with "very little use"

this one is getting a minimoto mx type first, cheap as chips and weighing little, much better than a pw.

Yea, it's no different to one of these:
The only thing he can't do is use it on the road until he's 14, but I'm sure he would of out grown it a bit by then Laughing

Couldnt agree more - my little fella got his at 3 and now has more balance and ability to ride a bike than the poor kids stuck with stabilizers etc.
In this pic I missed the 'air' he was getting over the jump - in actually fact only the front wheel about 1 inch off the ground .... but more than his dad gets Embarassed

oh yes it is. its more than 200w for starters, which makes it an electric motorcycle in the eyes of the law, and subject to all the same regulations. its illegal to use on the road.
