How old is he?
My baby's due in 2 weeks and I want to know how long untill he can ride :yes:

He is 2.... LOL maybe a bit too little...
Its really more for us to both ride on. I need to gear it down as its going about 30kmp/h at the moment and it works fine on flat ground, but any little hills it struggles. Mind you its trying to move 100kg with us both on it. maybe a bit over its rated capabilities.... I'll give Scott a call about a new rear sprocket.

Awsome stuff Mr Cheese! Its heaps of fun riding with your sprogs - meh you might get the odd grey hair and heart palpatation along the way but thats just part of the fun!
My little guy is 4 now and the training wheels have been off for a wee while - its amazing how fast they pick it up (no fear)
My eldest (13) and I just did the first round of the two man together, and it was so cool to have done her first ever race with her :scooter:
I hope you both enjoy the ride :yes:

did the colour coded gumboots come with the bike?

those are his Thomas the Tank engine gumboots which he loves as much as his bike.
I've just found that I can mod the bike to enable a second gear! The bike is actaully locked in second, so a lower gear will be helpful! then it can move my ass up a hill.......

Oh thanks mate! :)
It was really cheap so it was a no brainer really. I got it not going and it took me about 4 hours of cleaning the carb to get it working.
