Best training wheels for Honda CRF50

[kevintroyp]

There are so many brands of training wheels out there....anyone have any recommendations? E-Z Ride, Safelyride, M/C Enterprises. I want something that is fairly easy to take on/off as the bike is shared with 2 kids.

I got a set that frame mount that came off a KTM sitting in my garage. You can have them if you re-imburse the shipping cost. Let me know. PM me if interested.

Buy a remote kill switch !! I think I paid $90 with shipping.

Where did you get the remote kill switch from?

Which set of wheels did you decide on?  We're at the point now with our little one.  He's got the pedal bike down - I just don't want him to crash first time out and be scare of it.  We figure with the wheels he won't have to worry about balance - just working the throttle, shifting and brakes.

Training wheels are a horrible idea on a dirt bike. This isn't something that weighs 15lbs and you fall at 5 mph, its a motorized vehicle where learning how painful falling is is an important aspect.

^^^Here we go again, lol..........Yeah, what a horrible way to learn.  Too bad my kids had to start that way.  They suck now..............

Everyone - and I mean everyone that I've talked to that put their child on a bike without training wheels first crashed and didn't want to ride again.  Our little guy is 4 years old - speed will be a definite factor with his learning curve.  If they become scare of it - it will take twice as long to get them back up and riding - if at all.  He knows pain from falling off his bicycle, fear is my main concern.

Wasn't trying to reopen this can of worms, just how I learned and taught my oldest and will teach my youngest.

I know, my daughter gave up and moved to a quad for a year after a bad bail. This year she had her first big one since and wanted right back on her bike after we got back from the hospital.
