[QUOTE="Martin Cole, post: 676945, member: 47387"] Hi again, I don't think you can find anything more mellow in that size range. You'd probably be looking at a PW80 and the gap is really too great. Can your son change gear easily yet? If he can, get him to short shift through to third or fourth and that will mellow it out a lot. When my kids started I had them on a tight track with hardly any straights and plenty of small jumps. I would push start them in second gear and let them get a feel for it. After about 10-15 laps I pulled them in for a rest and then push started them in third. They found that great as the acceleration was more controllable and by then they were getting used to keeping it rolling. As they grew in confidence I got them doing clutchless shifts and they were not long picking it up. It was better than riding a flat grass field where, if left alone, they just go in ever decreasing circles. A couple of weeks of that and they soon start jumping instead of rolling and quickly learn to use the power band to get a better take-off. Personally, I'd persevere instead of changing the bike.
