Giving a child a small motorcycle before he gets his drivers license can actually put your mind a bit more at ease when that big day occurs. Rather than seeing a kids' motorcycle as a big jump from a bicycle, see it as a safe, measured introduction to driving a motorized vehicle. And even though more teens are opting to wait to get their license, when that day comes, you want your kid to be as prepared as possible. But what moms and dads out there have to remember is that there is something faster, and far more complex that will come into your child's life in the future - a car. Many parents can be hesitant to give their child a motorcycle, seeing it as a big leap from a bicycle that perhaps they're not quite ready for. We also made sure to keep at least one gas-powered option on the list in the Apollo DB-X18 Dirt Bike, as we already have a list dedicated to electric motorcycles for kids, and as this model offers too much power and handling proficiency to overlook. That Moderno model is one of the coolest options on the market, and we particularly like that its most eye-catching feature will help you keep an eye on your kids as they ride around, and should ensure that they're visible to any motorists in the vicinity.įor older riders than these new bikes could accommodate, there are still the incredible models from Razor, including the Razor Pocket Mod, which offers riding freedom to kids who might not be thrilled at the idea of hopping on a motorcycle, but who could easily be persuaded to straddle a vintage-inspired scooter. In their places we added a pair of bikes intended for a somewhat younger audience, in the Moderno Kids Street Racer and the Hover Heart Ride-On Tricycle. We also saw the Rosso Motors model leave our ranking due to availability issues. Safety, as always, is a big concern when putting these lists together, and the PCC Motor DB50X turned out to be a little too fast for its size, creating a riding posture in most users that put them in more danger than was warranted should they lose control. An adult should always supervise when youngsters ride.
With all of these models, it is essential to ensure your child is kitted out with a correctly fitted motorcycle helmet, jacket, boots, and gloves. The former has no such device and can reach up to 55 mph, and as such, it requires a rider who knows what they are doing and is capable of setting their own limits. The latter has a maximum speed of about 25 mph, but, as it incorporates a governor, parents can restrict the speed to suit. For those who really want to push their speed up, the Apollo DB-X18 Dirt Bike remained in our rankings, and the SYX Moto Holeshot was added. It's a good beginner's bike as it only goes up to 18 mph, making it fast enough for youngsters to get a thrill but not so quick as to make parents anxious. We liked the Fit Right 2020 as it looks just like a full-sized racing model, only smaller, so youngsters will look and feel as though they are riding a proper motorcycle. Adult supervision is essential even for these relatively slow bikes, as is a helmet. The highest setting allows the bike to travel at a maximum of 5 mph, so as youngsters get older parents can decide if they want to increase the speed. The former also boasts two speed settings, which can be altered via a switch under the seat. Both options feature training wheels that are removable and therefore the bikes will grow with their riders. For those just a little too old for the Tobbi, we added the Peg Perego Ducati GP and retained the Best Choice Electric. The Hover Heart Ride-On Tricycle and the Razor Pocket Rocket were also axed due to availability issues.Īlthough we have favored powerful items, we have also kept little ones in mind, with the introduction of the Tobbi Tricycle, which moves along at a reasonable walking pace to allow youngsters to get used to the feel of being on a motorcycle.
With this in mind, we removed the Piki-Piki Ride-On as it has neither an engine nor a battery, making it more in line with a toddler's balance bike rather than a kid's motorcycle. During this round of updates, we wanted to offer a few options with a bit more power behind them than some of the items that were previously listed.
