Dirt biking tips and tricks
How old should you be to ride a dirt bike does depend on the child. You may be surprised to learn that kids as young as 3 years old can ride small electric dirt bikes. Kids at the age of 4 are progressing to ride small petrol (Gas) dirt bikes safely. Perhaps with training wheels. Then kids aged 5-6 upwards are riding petrol (gas) 50cc dirt bikes without training wheels and even learning to take small jumps.
You may be surprised to learn that children as young as 3 years old can ride small dirt bikes, but I suggest at this age it’s on an electric dirt bike rather than a 50cc petrol dirt bike. But also children from the age of 4 can safely ride 50cc dirt bikes, but they may need training wheels to begin with. If your kids start from a young age on an electric dirt bike, there’s no reason why they won’t be riding a 50cc dirt bike quite easily aged 5 or 6 without training wheels.
The best dirt bikes for 6 year olds will have an engine size of 50cc. The power of the dirt bike will depend on your child’s physical size and prior experience. Plus of course the cost of a new kids dirt bike will be important to you as a parent too.
The best dirt bikes for 9-10 year olds will have an engine cc size ideally between 65-85cc. The power of the dirt bike will depend on your child’s maturity, their physical size and their prior experience. Plus of course the cost of a new dirt bike will be important to you as a parent too.
The best dirt bikes for 12-13-year-olds will have an engine cc somewhere between 65-125cc. The power of the dirt bike will depend on your child’s maturity, their physical size and their prior experience. Plus of course the cost of a new dirt bike will be important to you as a parent too.
