Important Safety Information for Parents
As a parent, your child’s safety is your first priority. Riding an off-road motorcycle is very fun. However,
just like riding a bicycle, bad decisions can result in injury. As a parent, you can greatly prevent accidents by making informed
decisions about if, when and how your child will ride. Always supervise your
child when he/she is riding.
Before you allow your child to ride, you need to decide if he/she is capable of riding. Riding readiness can vary tremendously
from one person to another. Age and size are not be the only factors that help determine one’s riding readiness. There are
three other factors that you should also consider before deciding if your child is ready to ride.
First, consider the
physical ability
of your child. Riders must be able to hold the motorcycle up, get on, and sit comfortably
with both feet on the ground. The rider must also be able to reach all of the controls on the handlebars and work the brakes
and clutch. Second, consider your child’s
athletic ability
. Your child should be good at riding a bicycle before riding a
motorcycle. Determine if your child can judge speeds and distances while riding a bicycle and react with the proper hand
and foot actions. Any person who does not have good coordination, balance, and agility should not ride this motorcycle.
Finally, determine your child’s level of
mental maturity
. It is imperative that you are honest with yourself when you ask
yourself the following questions: Does your child think through problems and come to logical conclusions? Does your child
obey your rules when they ride their bicycle? If your child makes bad judgments, takes un-warranted risks and/or does not
obey your rules, they should not ride this motorcycle.
If you have decided that your child is ready to ride, please remember the following points and never let your child ride
without a helmet. It is up to you (parent) to ensure your child’s safety, even if they learn to ride from another experienced
adult. Never push your child to try things faster than they are willing or capable. Always supervise your child when they are
riding and regularly remind them about safety rules. As a parent it is your responsibility to be sure that the motorcycle is
properly maintained and kept in safe operating condition.
