Question

What is the best size dirtbike to start my 5 year old daughter out on?

Answer 1

50cc

Answer 2

She's too young, I think.

Answer 3

Firstly please don't get your daughter a 60cc or 65cc as they are a two stroke machine and would scare the daylights out of a beginner rider.  

Any of the well known brands like Honda, Yamaha etc.  in a basic 50cc like the Crf50 is the place to begin.  

I personally do not like any motorbike with trainer wheels as have seen kids trying to ride them and the minute they go into a rut the wheels straddle the rut and the kids are in trouble.  

Do make sure you invest in very good protection gear even for slow riding on a 50cc and look for a good kids helmet as the standard in kids helmets are no where near as good as adult helmets and most of them are plastic.  Don't get a second hand helmet ever as you have no idea if it has had a major impact.  And last of all make sure you are always watching when one that old is riding.

Answer 4

first off i'ld like to say starting a child out at five isn't a big deal at all, and second off i'ld go with the crf50 w/out training wheels, but as a five year old she will be growing super fast so you might wanna go with a little CRF 70  which is a little bit taller.  and i'ld stay away from the two strokes.  And better yet y don't you take her to your local dealer and have her sit on some of the bikes they have, that might help ya out in your final desision.  Happy Trails

Answer 5

you want to get her a pw 50 yamaha or a ktm 50cc adventure these are the best starting bikes and she is defentley not too young i was racing when i was 6

Answer 6

My Son could ride his Yamaha PW50 at 3 - yes 3 !

In fact he found it easier to ride than a peddle bike with stabilisers on.

For all those who think 5 is to young, you may like to consider how most champion riders are as good as they are or indeed, even champions. They started riding bikes between the ages of 3 and 5 years old.

Many of them were already competing, winning races and championships before they were 10yrs old !!!!

So I would suggest either a PW50 or as matey above suggests the KTM (as I believe the KTM may be a bit higher than the PW). Also don't forget that you can adjust the throttle to a speed that she's happy with at first.

Have Fun, fun, fun. - x*x -

-Honda CRF50R / Honda XR50

I started out riding when i was about 4 an a half, i started out of a 50cc, if she can ride a bike without training wheels with no problem, she is probly ready to start riding.

Answer 12

Ktm 50 Mini Adventure my granddaughter started on one when she was 4

Answer 13

Answer 14

im gunna go with the smallest one?

Answer 15

Try a Honda CR50

Answer 16

50CC. start with small, and you can control the gas,

Very good

Answer 17

i would say a pw50

Answer 18

One that is not powered, except by peddles and training wheels.  A five year old lacks the coordination, logic abilities and has no business being on a motorized vehicle.  I'm assuming this has to be a joke because a mother who would let her 5 year old daughter operate a motorized vehicle would be so criminally negligent if something happened that all children would be removed from her care...........not to mention earning the title worst mother ever.
