When it's nice out my son wants to ride his 50. Until today he had been using training wheels to help him get use to the feel and operation of the bike (he just turned 5 at the end of Jan). Today I asked if he wanted to take them off and he seemed quite enthused to give it a go... :ride:
He rode with a new found freedom. He even cranked the thing over (on purpose) and gassed it to take a sharper turn. I had to ask him to slow it down a couple of times but he looked like he was always in control... Except for the mud pit. He fell once when he got stuck in the muddy area but got back on and kept away from that part of the field. He must have ridden for a good 30 minutes straight. When mom got home he had to go back out and show off again for another 20 minutes. My neighbor even stuck her head out of the window and said "that's so cool". :lol:
I only got two pics before the batteries crapped out on me. :ohmygod:
