You may be a touch early there mate
my boys were 4 and 6( now 6 and
had the kdx 50 for 2 years now and bought the ktm at christmas , ive been pretty steady with them over the first couple of years with pretty much bush riding with them .It was there first time on a track with a heap of other kids on the weekend and they both struggled a bit with everything happening around them (and getting used to boots and new gear) but i think they improved the more time they got on the track and absolutely loved it, so in my experience so far is just let them get the time to do it they will improve and at this age they will listen to you to
i think the best thing i have taught them is to go out and not worry what anyone else is doing and get caught up inracing someone and going to fast for there level , they have come off but nothing serious( can never have enough protective gear either , they fall off and hurt themselves to bad ealy in the piece i reckon you will scare them off bikes alltogether). and they always get back on.
So osmooian it may a tad early at the moment but give her a week or 2 and just show up with a PW50 as a maternity present………….maybe!!!you just cant force your kids to ride
my girl maddy 4 weeks old with me on our second ride she was 2weeks on our first
My son started riding a PW50 when he was 4yo.
I was doubling his mother around on dirt and road bikes when she was 8 months pregnant.
So i guess he was really on bikes in his minus years.
He went through the whole mini bike club scene and did some racing.
It was all good practice and great fun for both of us.My daughter’s is into horses (show jumping) now if you want to spend some money on your childs sport this is a good one.:unsure:

I was going only on what you get for your money. One of those stupid Tutu costs more than all the kids protective ride gear put together (and they are expected to have several). Then they expect you to pay to go and watch your daughter dance, which is dog shit boring anyhow.
Have to agree with TB on this one Mick.
I know what you are saying with Ballet though as my daughter used to do that as well.:S
But she has been into horses for many years and both my bank account and I wish she had stayed in ballet:pinch:
She does pay here own way now but nearly all of her money goes into her sport. :ohmy:
So in that sense it’s not much different to riding bikes.Rebore
