70 cc Dirt Bike

So, your young one wants to start riding dirt bikes.This could be a moment of panic or elation or a combination of both for you. Perhaps your first thought was "How do I choose the right dirt bike for my kid?" A great question and one we hope to help guide you to the right conclusion. But first, in order to answer that question you'll need to answer a few more questions.What can i say If your child is interested in riding dirt bikes then he or she has likely spent time on a pedal bike. Most kids start out on pedal bikes using training wheels and, yes, training wheels for dirt bikes exist. Equipping your child's dirt bike with training wheels offers the same advantage as training wheels on a regular pedal bike.Dirt bike training wheels give stability and control until your child is really ready to ride. Training wheels also reduce the chance of a serious tip-over crash that may damage confidence and turn your child off from riding altogether. Getting your child's confidence on the dirt bike is essential in maintaining the hobby.The other option to consider is a manual or automatic clutch. As stated previously, your child's ability to learn is a factor. An automatic clutch may prove beneficial so your child can work on the necessary fundamentals of riding and staying upright before moving on to the more complex aspects of dirt bike riding.What we can tell you is - don't go big! Kids at that age want to be like their heroes whether it's on the playing field or the motocross track. Buying the same bike Ryan Villopoto or James Stewart rides is a mistake. Go small in both engine size (50cc is ideal for beginners) and the actual size of the bike.Look for a used dirt bike. A brand new dirt bike, even kids sized, can be expensive. Try contacting local clubs or others you meet in the dirt biking community and buy a used bike. If your child decides weekends on the track is not for them after a first crash or they don't want to invest in the time involved in learning to ride then you won't be out a whole lot of money.Choose a bike that fits. Kids need easy manageability. This includes being able to sit on the bike and reach the ground with both feet securely, and reach the handlebars and controls with ease. Upgrading to a larger bike with a manual clutch may work for some kids sooner than for others but remember not to push it.Finally, test ride whatever beginner dirt bike you look at - new or used. Your child may find the 50 cc size is too small but a 100 cc is too big, then you'll know to look at the 70cc.
