I bought mine a LT50 quad when they were little. Within no time at all even my then 4 year old daughter could do doughnuts in the snow. Happy days. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

This is exactly the problem you will face. Even if the bike is almost silent the fun police will complain about chavs/hell's angels, and the real police will come down and tell you to stop. You need a friend with a field... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

My son started last year aged 3 on a 70cc quad (with throttle limiter). Though next year l will move him up to a 50cc dirt bike once he is a bit bigger.
We live on a 160 acres of land so plenty of space to ride around on. Never got do that living in London when l was a kid....

When my kids were growing up, I used to play a lot of motoball (google it), and consequently I spent a lot of time face down in the dirt with my bike on top of me.
Also the kids would ride on the back of my bike across the field shouting “faster dad faster “!.
However things and times change.
So now I have been told by my grown up kids in no uncertain terms that NO my grandchildren are not allowed a bike

This is the bike I made in the 80s for my son, he was 7 and unable to ride a push bike for medical reasons. It had a clutch and 2sp box which I put a shifter on top of the frame with only first and neutral. The idea was a safety switch if he fell against it it would move forward into neutral |
