Size/LTB


Hey guys, just a quick Size/looking to buy question if I may...

I cant say that Im much into pocket bikes, But Id love to get one for my son. He is 5 1/2 yrs old and I would like to get him started early plus I think it would be a cool gift whether he grows up riding or not. He is a very determined, strong and outgoing 5yr old. I put him on his bike earlier this past summer, told him how to pedal and off he went, I was very surprised and proud of him for that.
He has been very receptive and willing to learn and wants to try anything. The past few weeks we have been working on rock climbing and he is doing frighteningly well with that. Hes begging for his own harness now. With that said, Im trying to keep him active and into as much as possible.

So, Ive been searching around a bit and I have sorta decided on the new razor, mainly because it seems to be the easiest to get a hold of but also due to it being electric, Id rather he not kill himself.

My main question about it though is its size, do you think it would be too small for him?
Any other suggestions for different models?

Sorry for the long post just to ask such a simple question, your comments are appreciated.

Thanks-

Re: Size/LTB

Probably somethin like the minimoto maxi would fit a 5 year old better than a razor PR200. The PR is a good size for like a 2 to 4 year old.

He would still be able to ride the PR, but he would be riding a little more like how an adult rides a pocketbike. Its a toss up whether or not he would be ok with that.. our 6 year old does not like it.

Re: Size/LTB

Thanks for the info, Ill check into the minimoto maxi. I def would like something where he gets the feel for normal riding first, growing from there isnt much of a concern, Ill just try to find a small dirt bike or something like it if he is still interested.

Thanks again.
