Recommendations for a motorbike for 2 year old DS with short legs!

Exactly that. He loves the little motorbikes he sees in the park and we want to get him one but are unsure of which one.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, to add - preferably a foot to floor one with two wheels.

Seriously? A motorbike for a 2yo??

StickEmWithThePointyEnd · 17/02/2013 13:22

Wouldn't a simple balance bike do?

claudedebussy · 17/02/2013 13:25

i think you mean a balance bike.

a motorbike has an engine, and while valentino rossi did start to learn at the age of 3 i don't think it's recommended for the general public. unless you're prepared to buy leathers and a helmet - all custom made because they don't make them that small. Smile apologies for the sarcasm - it felt good at the time but now i feel crap. although not so crap as to delete it, or not post...

This type of thing? or Or this?

My ds3 has the second Grin

ha ha ha!

No, of course I don't mean a motorbike with an engine. Really? Would anyone think that I meant that? (ZuleikaD)

I do mean a balance bike...but one that looks like a motorbike, is quite squat etc.

Ds3 is 2 btw :)

NotADragonOfSoup · 17/02/2013 13:28

Well, a motorbike is a bike with a motor. The clue is in the name.

Wallace · 17/02/2013 13:28

My first link for you then :)

ZuleikaD · 17/02/2013 13:28

Yes. Otherwise it's just a bike.

Wallace · 17/02/2013 13:29

Though kiddimotos are quite big. Ds2 was quite tall and couldn't really manage it until he was 2 and a half.

ELC

Wallace · 17/02/2013 13:44

They are quite big those ones - my 6 and 11 year olds had more fun on their cousins one than my 2 year old!

Thanks all - and i stand corrected for mentioning 'motor' and not just bike!

a motorbike - would anyone think I meant that?
I've been on mumsnet for years, nothing surprises me anymore.

usualsuspect · 17/02/2013 14:02

The ELC one is quite small, My DGS had it when he was about 2.

usualsuspect · 17/02/2013 14:03

I knew what you meant OP Grin

Wallace · 17/02/2013 14:16

Yes, Iggis, as I said my 2 year old ds has a motorbike :)

MoelFammau · 17/02/2013 16:51

I had a motorbike age 5.... 2 is pushing it! :-D

Wallace · 17/02/2013 19:14

If you look on you tube you can find videos of ONE year olds riding motorbikes with no stabilisers! Grin
