They grow up so fast… especially when they’re going so fast. Kids as young as 4 and 6 years old can start riding motorcycles but to do it right, they’re going to need protective kids motorcycle gear to keep them safe. There’s an enormous assortment of motorcycle gear out there with toddlers and youth in mind. It’s not just sized-down versions of adult equipment, either; Cycle Gear’s selection of kids motorcycle gear will keep them looking cool off the bike and protected head to toe when riding.

Parents, whether they ride or not, may have some reservations about turning their toddler loose on a pee wee-sized motorcycle. It’s a relatable concern, but the moderate power of these bikes paired with street and off-road riding gear for youth makes it safer than it may seem to spectators. Head and chest protection comes from companies well-known in the powersports sector. The same goes for gloves, goggles and more; there’s no reason not to invest in kids motorcycle gear as your child develops an increasing interest in two-wheeled adventure. Cycle Gear also stocks plenty of colorful outer wear that’ll help them stand out in a pack while even matching their bike.

Who knows — your toddler might clear some pro-level double jumps and carve through chicanes eventually. For today though, let’s get them suited up in the right gear for some low-speed, high-octane fun. You might just nurture a life-long love of motorcycles in the process.
