Started out on Christmas Day 2017. He’d been asking for an Oset for a while and a couple of his mates have them so I bit the bullet and the money was spent on The proviso that we joined the local club and did it properly.

February came and it all got real with his first trial at Cogden hall , Reeth.
He cleaned most of the sections and was really chuffed.

Second place in the club championship and his first trophy presented by his hero Guy Kendrew.
He came fourth in the Ripon club championship but would have been higher if some idiot hadn’t entered him in the wrong class :blast

Sadly he’s outgrown the Oset but we are moving on this year with a medium wheel Beta so it’s a whole new world of gears and clutch !

Nice way into a very technical sport :)

I must admit it took a few pics to work out there was no zorst lol.

I have friend who's daughter got into motorcycling at a very young age.

She was the mascot for a local motorcycle display team. Had her own tiny bike .

She's progressed to a bigger bike now, and is doing ramps and other stuff, with the other members of the team.

The bank of dad is going to be very busy in future i think :)
 
The electric bikes are great for kids and now there’s a world championship for adults as well. Yamaha are making them so won’t be long before all the manufacturers go down the electric route.
We ran lead acid batteries all year but you can get a lithium upgrade for a longer run time.
The costs aren’t too bad it’s a tenner to enter plus fuel etc but you don’t have to spend a fortune on bikes. You can have as much fun on a thousand pound bike as a five grand bike and everyone is very encouraging.
