Nice. They have 50cc gas versions of the bike (not proper yz/kx type crossers) which are ironically a third cheaper than the electric. But where I live there is nowhere suitable to take a gas dirt bike.

One of the drawbacks of living in a small-ass, overcrowded country.

At least with the electric he can probably get away with riding in the park and in our cul-de-sac estate where several children ride electric vehicles.

Typical white straight male pushing a child into stereotypical gender roles.

I don't know what your used market is like, but consider buying used. Because he will outgrow this fairly quick.

I've hit 50mph on a roadbike before.

I've gone over the bonnet (hood) of a car on a road bike at about 20mph.

Did fuk all. To me at least. I think I dented the dumb *******s wing.

I never used to wear a helmet when I did dumb-ass stunts on my BMX as a kid.

This health and safety culture we live in today is creating a world of Samsboltons.

Limited to 5mph can't be too bad and you can up the speed as he gets more experienced, his balance will be fine if he can ride a bike, I would have loved that when I was a kid! I had an electric trike in the 80's when I was about 5, it went 2m across the living room on Christmas morning and the battery died forever lol.

Nice, how long do the batteries last? Can you take a spare battery to swap while you're out?

Yeah he does have all those.

Crap present? You have tits and a vagina so fair enough. I know how I'd have felt getting one of those for my birthday.

Cos I answered your thread asking for thoughts on potential present with my thoughts rather than yours? LMAO.

There are many developmental stages a 5 year old needs to go through before taking control of a vehicle that is powered by anything other than himself (or herself) no matter how speed limited.

Don't fukking patronise me on how to bring up children.

You probably don't let your kids eat sweets, have vaccinations and only feed them organic food. One of those women who read a book how to raise a child into the world when she was pregnant.

God damn modern parents I swear.

Fuk off with your misery.

edit: they've had ride-on electric diggers and trikes since the age of 3 too. U mad?

You think?

You know I don't care how you raise your kids, it's hardly like I'm ever gonna encounter them ... you're an involved caring parent your kids will be fine

Doesn't mean when you ask for "thoughts" people have to agree with you

Worst thing about about this thread is you've made me almost agree with Sam Bolton

If you read through the thread you'll see quite a few people have disagreed with me and think it's a dangerous thing. I respect those thoughts because without the correct supervision it can be dangerous. However I reserve the right to react and denounce opinions I disagree with. Calling it a 'crap' present was a little harsh in my opinion, hence my rather vulgar reaction.
