Pocket Bike Safety For Kids
Kids find pocket bikes exciting and a whole lot of fun, but they’re also motorized high speed racing vehicles. Parents must ensure extra care is taken before letting the kids operate a pocket bike. With the proper precautions parents are able to reduce or avoid dangerous and serious injury or death. Follow these basic safety tips at all times when letting kids ride pocket bikes.
Helmet – The most important piece of protective gear you can wear is a certified pocket bike helmet! Wearing an approved helmet may reduce the risk of serious injury or death. Ensure the helmets meet with local authorities’ required helmet certification. Be sure kids always wear helmets with the chinstrap securely buckled.
Full Body Riding Suit– Though knee pads and elbow pads with hard caps (plastic or otherwise) offer increased protection for adults, it is better for kids to wear a one-piece riding suit.
Gloves & Boots – Making sure kids wear sock and boot when riding the pocket bike will protect them most serious injuries. Sneakers can also be worn till you find suitable boots for them. Never in any circumstances wear sandals or footwear that exposes parts of the feet.
Age Appropriateness: Usually, pocket bikes are designed for children aged 13-16, even then, they should not be allowed to operate pocket bikes without close adult supervision. Children under 12 should never ride pocket bikes. However, pocket bike manufacturers do recommend the age appropriateness of their pocket bikes and all local laws regarding age restrictions.
Avoid Streets and Sidewalks: Make sure your kids do not ride their pocket bikes on highways, streets, sidewalks, roads, paths, or other areas used by motor vehicles. It is illegal and a pocket bikes low profile puts the rider at great risk of being hit by a motor vehicle that doesn’t see them.
Local Laws and Regulations: Find out and observe all local pocket bike laws and regulations.
Understand The Power and Capabilities: Though small in size, most pocket bikes are capable of reaching high speeds. Help your kids to understand the power their pocket bike is capable of and to be cautious of that power when riding.
Don’t be over-cautious till there’s no room for fun. Just keep in mind that pocket bikes are not toys and follow these safety guidelines. Let the FUN begin.
