I know of a accident where kids were riding these over a park and a 3year old stepped out from behind a tree. The moto ran her over and she is STILL in hospital now 2/3 months later.
They are only allowed on private land. The council dont want anything to do with them because of the health and safety aspect also they would really struggle to get insurance for the land.........can you imagine how many people would flaunt the rules etc and try and claim for injury off the council??? LOADS!
I understand kids dont have much to do these days but i wouldnt let my son on a mini moto NO WAY!

It's only legal on private property in the uk now which is complete bulls**t in my humble opinion but there you go. if your kids have them then be careful; they're confiscated immediately and destroyed nowadays as opposed to the three warnings you used to get.
The council won't allocate spaces for riding on as old people always moan about the noise (they do have a point). It's up to someone to buy some land and construct a track privately, but i'm not sure too many people will be able to do that.
Possibly a good business venture? not sure bout insurance etc. though.

The reason councils won't allot any area for the children to ride their bikes is,, The legal liabilities and insurances are so prohibitive that it is unviable.
Find someone who has a farm, and let the kids have a ball.
Just be sure to use all safety equipment, Just because they are not in a public area, doesn't mean they can't get hurt without safety gear.
Good Luck ! Have Fun!!!""

Paul Ricard circuit. France.
Depends on the age of these "kids".
I'm not a kid myself in your opinion.
Those things are darned noisy though! Wouldn't want a patch of land near me...
There are indeed health and safety issues to consider too. Noise regulations for the riders - if that noise was in a work place, they'd have to wear ear defenders!
Who's buying these things too?
If it's parents, then this should have been considered before purchase, surely?
Or is it a case of giving in to the latest trend because it's easier than actually getting the kids to do something else.
Bah humbug!

These vehicles are illegal on the road. They can only be used on private property.
For them to be road legal, they need lights, number plate, an MOT certificate, Tax, Insurance and the driver must be licenced to ride a motorbike.
And to all those that say kids have no where to go these days, get them to join a scout unit. Over the summer, we have had kids activities culminating in a summer camp. For your nearest Scout group, phone 0845 300 1818

have your kids got a license to drive them...err no !
do they pay road tax...errr no !
have they got insurance incase they knock someone down as they are probably too young to be able to control them...er no !
Why buy you kids mini motos if you know that you're going to end up letting them ride them in the street and they will end up doing some damage to someone...but you wont care will you !
good parenting !

They are fine if they are riden on private land and the rider wears a crash helmet. But they are not meant to be riden on the road as they are have no road tax and no insurance. There has been many accidents and some are fatal. Nobody likes to spoil childrens fun as long as they are safe and the public as well.

You bought it, let them all come and play in your garden!
Why do thay have them taken off them? Because they are anti-social. We don't want to go to the park, walk on the pavement, drive down the street, having to avoid your children riding around on unlicensed, uninsured, unsafe vehicles. Since when did children get issued with driving licences?

Your 1st hyperlink would not artwork. The 2d motorbike is what we call a pit motorbike right here in the states; it really is okay on perplexing surfaces yet those small wheels are going to be a large felony duty off highway. in case you fairly want to journey in the dirt i might want to propose between the 50cc highway felony twin events that are so properly-known in Europe. that could want to grant you off highway sport and highway felony transportation like a scooter or moped. sturdy success and journey secure.

They are seriously dangerous,I saw a boy nearly get squished by a bus the other day as the driver had not seen him on his Moto.There are very few areas they are allowed,I would never waste the money!
