How young is to young?

My Daughter is 2 and I bought her a new toy. My wife says I'm pushing her a little to early.... After having three girls She is my only hope. No I am not going to try again for the boy.

totally awsome!!! you go dad!!

thats really cool. i don't have any kids of my own, but i bought my nephew a crf50 with training wheels when he was about 4 years old. he is 6 now. and i can honestly say that nothing makes me happier than seeing the smile on his face whenever he rides it. really great stuff!

If she likes it its never to early to start them, I been considering getting my 2 year old daughter one. Might have to now.

I think the age around 5 and 6 are good to start out. You've had enough falls by that time to start to realize you can hurt yourself.

Your 2 year old... as long as she's not screaming and crying as you duct tape her on the bike.... you're not pushing her. I'd be a little conserned about her hitting 15mph on a pocket bike. Can you rig the throtle cable to limit the speed?

a good friend of mine also bought a cr50 for his 3 yr old and it has a clip to limit the throttle movement
the prob is the kid twists the throttle to that point and after that the engine starts spooling over resulting in rising revs ... so it doesnt really work IMO

i think kids need to learn to balance & steer sans training wheels on bicycles before they get their hands on actual horsepower

I think it's great as long as she's happy that's all that matters. Way to go DAD!

I have a 19 month old and I don't think she is anywhere ready. But if she likes it then go for it..

Awesome! I'd go for a PW50 or the CR50 though. Might be easier to learn on. They have training wheels available also.

I think it's bad-ass that you're getting your daughter into bikes. I do think that is waayyy too fast for a 2 yr old though. Don't those things do 20 or 30mph? Most 2 yr olds are on those 5mph power-wheels, and they probably crash those.

I have no children, nor much experience with them, but it just seems like you gotta crawl before you can fly.

thats funny, i'm gonna do the same with mine weither its a girl or boy...

What were your friends thinking! They should have had one for her at the baby Shower! LOL.....Thats cool maybe you guys can ride together when she gets older!

HOW ****ING CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's great!

What a cutie -- that's a great pic. But I bought my 2 year old an actual 1000RR

Also cute...I'm not at that point my my life yet, but when I get there....OH BOY!!!!! TOYS TOYS TOYS!!!!

AS LONG AS YOU CAN GET HER A HELMET THAT ROCKS. YOU'RE AN AWESOME DAD. RIGHT ON!

nice, IMO you can never start too young. any pro in basically every sport start from a real young age


+1 i wish we had toys like this when we were kids!
