Newbie here looking at minibikes for my 11 (110lbs) and 8 (75 lbs) year old kids. 4 wheelers seem too pricey to buy and keep up with. Thought about a go cart too but think they will have more fun on the minibikes and there seems like there is not much to keep up with on these. I've read everything I can find on here about the Coleman CT200u and it seems like a good deal for the money at Walmart.
1) Is this going to be too big for them? I can't imagine it is for the 11 year old but maybe the 8 year old. I plan to get just one to start with to make sure they like it and it is not too big.
2) Can you adjust the throttle so it does not open all the way to keep the speed/acceleration down in the beginning?
3) If the Coleman is too big for the 8yo, what about the Monster Moto MMB-80? I hate to get something that he will soon grow out of but want him to be comfortable as well. How will the 79cc motor push around a 75lb kid?
We live on a dirt lane with a flat loop that the kids can ride that is probably around 3/8 of a mile. Can add trails later on in 18 acres of weeks as well, not is fairly flat.
Seems like most people on here are reliving their youth and building these things for themselves, I have not been able to find much on the site about kids on these
They look like a lot of fun and relatively low maintenance. Looking forward to it! Now that I created a user name I need to try and find the Coleman Group on here.
