Recommend a kids offroad bike?
Discussion
Luckily my brother has just moved to a place with a great undulating 5acre field!!!
We are both into greenlaning and enduro riding, My son who is 6 wants a bike desperately , I have looked at stomp bikes but have never seen one being ridden or anyone who has had one! Anyone on here with a similar pit bike or can recommend anything?

Sorry to spoil the party.
Please don't get an off road bike.
Our village had suffered the noise from these for some time, until recently, when we wrote a polite and courteous letter to the relevant party outlining the noise nuisance and general disturbance caused by these vehicles.
Thankfully the din has ceased apart from a short 'Revving session' prior to them competing, away from the area.
They are LOUD. Five acres is insufficient to be any kind of noise barrier. We could hear the bikes clearly when walking dogs or dropping the kids at school. (Two miles away.)
So please think very carefully before inflicting these machines on the local populace.
The nearest neighbour is over 1.5miles away, so no problem with upsetting anyone!
That neighbour does MX as well, we've laid out a proper little enduro course, and I've got my son a xr70 and he's getting on well, as for the big kids, we love it, was there last night until 9.30

Do love osset bikes, think they are brilliant, and will probably go that way if and when my son wants to do trials, I did and a osset is far better than my old frantic I used to compete on, it was out of my price range for a beginner bike, next bike will be better if he continues to enjoy it
