motorbikes for kids

It's recently been mentioned that the almost 4 year old grandaughter
wants a motorbike so I felt that I should look into buying her one....

After finding this I'm worried in case it's a bad idea.

Gixer thou.

Beav can paint it pink for you.

 

Shit! Apparently these motorbike things are dangerous. I'd better sell
mine then.

BMW E46 318iSE (it's a car, not one of those 2-wheeled pieces of shite
they churn out)

 

Look up electric trials bikes. The club here has kids that age on them. eBay
often has one ore two. Brilliant things.

 

That programme the other night on ITV4 showed Henry Whatsisface's 4yo
kid riding round his garden on a bike.

And being *your* grandaughter, what could possibly go wrong?!

 

Too right!
At my youngest's sixth birthday party, a few went to ride their bikes in
a nice soft grassy field with one tree in the middle. One fell down the
stairs getting out of the house, two hit the tree (hard), and my boy hit
a pothole and flew over the 'bars. He was uninjured until the
somersaulting bike came down on his head.
Four hospitalised, and various parents told to **** off when they made
noises about supervision.

Kids should experience all forms of wheeled silliness at an early age.
It's bad parenting[1] not to do so.

[1] I fucking hate that word

 

Nothing at all. If she wants a motorike she can have one.
