Craziee Pa
He tried it and couldn't balance himself on the bike ( which is natural in the beginning). Now he is so frustrated, he is giving up and says he doesn't want to do it ever again.
Should I make him try again later on in the year?
Answer
Yes, I think every kid should be able to ride a bike. He might be frustrated and give up, but he might show interest again later. One thing lots of kids don't learn these days is to handle failure and to keep trying. My son was 4 when we bought him a bike with training wheels and he refused to even try it. Then we visited my parents and they had my brother's razor scooter there and he learned to ride that and had no reason to try a bike. Then one day, my husband decided that since he had such good balance on the scooter, he probably could ride a bike, so he took the training wheels off and went out in the front with my son (who was 5 then) and practiced with him a few times and he got it! He was so proud of himself for doing it. Now his 4-year-old brother has the bike with training wheels and I have a bike and a bike trailer, so now we go for family bike rides in the mornings a lot.
It's good exercise and I think it teaches children patience, endurance, and the will to keep trying. Be positive when he's ready, let him use training wheels if he wants, and always encourage. When he is successful, celebrate and take lots of pictures. He'll really feel proud of his accomplishment.

Kids bicycle that has some sort of motor in it?
kikelchris
My son's bday is coming up.... There is a kid in the neighborhood that is always riding a bicycle that is able to ride up a hill without him pedaling. I believe the bike builds up power from when he is pedaling and then uses the energy to go up hill when he stops. Well my son really wants this bike and I cannot find it anywhere. I do not even know what to call it which makes it a tough search. Please help!

or
just make his bicycle electric (add an electric motor, etc.) with him as a father-son project
