The right motorcycle is essential if you want your child to have the time of their life riding. There are loads of different motorcycles to choose from and the aim here is to share some of the great options available in 2018.
Motorcycles are great and my husband takes me out on his all the time and therefore we decided to get our little one starting out to have the same options that we get so much pleasure from. Most of the motorcycles for kids are not meant to gain huge speeds and have safety in mind in the design. Some are faster than others, but here I have decided to share the ones that are safe and reliable, hopefully guaranteeing all a good time on their motorcycle.
Why Choose a Kids Motorcycle
Motorcycles are a great way to get your kids out the house and outdoors playing, feeling the wind in their hair and developing spatial awareness skills. Nowadays everything is mobile or iPad and people are constantly on the move. The more your child gets to grips with handling life and it’s complexities the more suitable and adaptable they will be no matter what life throws at them! Personally, the freedom me and my husband feel on the road is something I want to share with my son Harry and after seeing him dart around on the motorcycle the more I feel I made the right choice.
Different Types of Motorcycles Available
There are loads of bikes to choose from and below I have put together a review of the best I have come across and hope you find one your child will love. They each have a unique theme and offer a different style of riding, but where they are all similar is that they are battery powered.
If you want your kid to have fun in the outdoors, we have just the thing. The best dirt bikes and motorcycles for kids of all ages. Enjoy!

This police motorcycle for kids is one you must get if you want your kids having fun.
The battery is 6 volt and includes a charger as standard, which is quickly recharged. I had this for my 3-year-old and he was the soul of the party whizzing around with his friends a classmates from school, full of laughter and kids horse-play.
I personally didn’t have him use a helmet, but I recommend one as standard just encase your child gets a little over excited and hasn’t mastered the corners yet. The grip is solid and will not let them down, but just a word of warning none the less. This is a great motorcycle and comes highly recommended, especially at such an affordable price.

The motorcycle is powered by a 100-watt motor and with an instant throttle. This has loads of torque for having a ride around.

The best in my humble view is definitely the ladies pink bikes simply because it’s a little frisky and stands out, but I do like it for its features both in look and design. The bike has different speeds and can reverse too, which is a good skill developer. For a boy equivalent I would choose the Injusa’s Repsol wind motorcycle, simply cause it is also a great bike and with like-for-like controls and mechanics it’s a sure thing for fun and good times.
