Jamesy Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 My kids are 4 and 6, and my son (the youngest) is a proper speed freak already!! So i got him and his sister these mini motos last week....all i can say is WOW.... they are so cool. I got him an uprated 24v battery one, and my girl an 18v one. I think they said Danny's one does 18-20mph which is fast enough for a 4 year old.... They love them, and as theyre not the petrol versions (YET!) the neighbours dont mind either!! I quite fancy a petrol one myself now - anyone else use these? wqHGhIz_4Rw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Looks like fun Where abouts can you use it? I'm guessing car parks and just private land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 i had a petrol one blata ducati replica, bloody hurts if you come off... being so close to the ground already. awesome fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 My personal view on those is - they are fun for kids and should stay between kids, grown up man riding one of those mini bikes looks like complete moron. Somehow it reminds me all worst areas of Wolverhampton filled by chavs and other culprits riding toy bikes which makes more noise than movement.

Somehow it reminds me all worst areas of Wolverhampton filled by chavs and other culprits riding toy bikes which makes more noise than movement. even more of a moron when fully leathered up, they are great fun... and to plonk a kid on a decent race mini moto is not a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 No, it's not, but at the same time it's not a great idea to put grown man onto those things. Get a proper bike, at least it will not end up being crushed by cops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 i guess its like formular 1, they start at a young age in go-karts ect ect. just teach you kids to get there knee down and they could be the next rossi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i was the same mate, petrol ones everywhere and nowhere had decent electric ones. I spent ages trawling the internet and managed to find it on ebay in the end as i wanted an uprated one - this one usually comes with a 12v battery, but the bloke put a 24v battery on to make it faster, and his son didnt like it so he sold it!!
