When to put a child on a motorbike? Isn't it too early? Isn't it too dangerous? How much does it actually cost? There are a lot of questions that come to mind for parents when their child says they want a motorbike. If a parent is so-called infatuated with motocross, they don't have to answer many questions, that's clear. But what about those who have no knowledge of motocross and their child wants a motorbike. So what? It is important to realize that motocross is quite expensive. So if we overcome the previous questions, we can accept the suggestion that we put our child on motocross.


When can a child ride a motocross bike? Easily as early as three or four years old, there are very small bikes, made by Yamaha, they are little ones, small bikes with a capacity of 50 cc are suitable for children aged 5 to 6.



Just a motorbike is not enough, the shopping continues, protective elements such as a children's motocross helmet are essential. A motocross helmet must be liked by the little pilot, it must fit well on the head, it must not be loose, it must not be pressing, in essence it must be "perfect". We will stop a little to see what a motocross helmet looks like. The helmet consists of a shell, which is beautifully colored on the outside, the inner part is what protects the head, what must meet safety conditions - homologation, the shell of children's helmets only has one size. Another part of the helmet is a removable padding, which is hypoallergenic and can be washed or replaced, and the last part is the visor. The padding is what determines the size of the helmet, so we don't destroy the helmet, so we replace the padding with a larger one and the helmet continues to serve. The helmet mainly serves a safety function, so minor scratches are okay, we can replace a broken visor, but cracks are a problem, they mean that the motocross helmet is no longer safe.

It doesn't end with a helmet and a motorbike. To eliminate the danger, it is necessary to add other motocross equipment - these are boots. What kind of boots - especially sturdy, at least half the calf higher, children's motocross boots meet all this, boots, unlike children's helmets, cannot be "enlarged". However, they can be slightly larger than shoes for normal walking. We continue with protective equipment - at least we still have to protect the child's spine, for this we use chest protectors - ordinary plastic ones, they will press a little, but they will protect. A padded chest protector is more comfortable. Every children's motocross chest protector will be better in something, more comfortable than the other. A chest protector is primarily supposed to protect, the way the protector protects is determined by homologation, when the safety elements of the protector are tested.


This is the very basics - a motorbike, a helmet, boots, a chest protector, without which you can't get on a motorbike. We can continue with children's motocross clothing - children's motocross set. We will complement the motocross helmet with children's motocross goggles, a nice motocross jersey will bring a lot of joy and the little pilot will feel like a racer, we will choose the right children's motocross pants to match the jersey, we must not forget about children's motocross gloves. For children, we offer not only chest protectors, but also children's knee protectors, children's motocross elbow protectors or a neck protector, which serves to ensure that the helmet rests against this protector in the event of a fall and prevents damage to the cervical spine.

So what should we not forget? Of course, safety. Just because we want to try it on a rented motorcycle, we must remember that we also need to rent motocross gear. Without motocross gear, riding a motorcycle, even in a meadow or garden, is dangerous.

If you don't know what to do as a parent, visit specialized motocross store, preferably in person with a small pilot, online is not the best solution. Experienced trainers at motocross schools will definitely advise you on how to properly train and ride a motorcycle.
