Am thinking about getting my 7 year old boy into racing one. Has anybody any advice? how to get started etc? is it a good idea?

if you want a cheap one come & kick the chav off who rides one up & down the road & take it away. i promise no-one will see a thing.

Bunch of chavs trying frantically to start one, on a public footpath down by the river when I was out on my push-iron earlier this eve: how I chortled about 3 minutes later when the Cleveland Police off-road m/cycle section rode past me heading in their direction

Oh dear... so lucky my god daughter's parents own the local fields and farms and woods around my village

Good idea but make sure you get a good one. A cheap brand new model is upwards of £600. Don't buy a Chinese replica off eBay that will be crap for racing.

There`s a few minimoto clubs around running at Go kart venues....google a few minimoto racing clubs and try the lad on the arrive & drive days...the club`s run age groups from as young as 6 or 7..a great sport with proven crossovers to youth racing...

Here is one near you with some dates...

Then there is the cost of adding nitro to it.I actually saw a bloke who had done this to one up the ace cafe one night.
