We started my son on an oset electric trials bike. They are super light, with a verry low slung seat like any other trials bike. They sit so low he never used training wheels. Just used his feet at a crawling pace.Search them out, completely ligit. Adjustable torque and top speed. Even after he has out grown it know he still gets on it occasionally just to spin donuts or to try to pop wheelies.
the best part of the electric bike we could take it any where a bicycle was allowed. through it in the back of the suv, go to a state park no body cared, one time we approached by a park ranger and thought we were gonna be in trouble but he was only coming over cause he wanted to know more about it and get one for his grandkids
Great thread here by everyone! Here's a few shots of my family and I out riding in the interior of B.C. at Duffy Lake for my son's 40th a year ago. It was around 45 in the day and below freezing overnight. A few days of rain and a few days of sun and dozens of miles of trail riding by everyone. I've got a Suzuki Boulevard that my grandson and I ride together in the summer. I borrow my son's CRF450R or his brother in laws KTM450EXC on trips with my brothers and the family. My son has a set of studded tires for all of their bikes. When the ice fishing is slow they just rip around the lakeMy Grandson started riding a CRF50f at 4 and has loved it since. He turned 10 this December.

So we ended up going with the kawi klx140l. The crf230 was way to big for her. The 150 was close, but 2" higher seat and 30lbs heavier, with older older steel swing arm and rear drum brakes. It just worked better for her to lug around the woods. Hope it will hold up.
You know how I am but...I love that green in the woods. God it's sexy. Good looking machine!So we ended up going with the kawi klx140l. The crf230 was way to big for her.

Finally!! I've been looking forever for this picture lol. This is around 1973-75 or so. This is what started my love for anything with a motor on it lol.
Very cool pic Delton! I first started on Yamato 80. I wish our family had been better with pictures. It wasn't until recently we realized what they mean.
Ahaha ha I know what you mean about looking for those old pics.Never really think you will ever need them. As I get older and my kids turn me soft I find their emotional value doubles everyday.
I have a horrible memory but I can tell you every detail about my old DT60. 1st gear was gone, no Kickstarter, knee sized dent in gas tank on right side. Loved her.
