My kid is 3.5 ... so I'm looking early to see about the fact he might be ready for a 50cc dirt bike next summer (if he's coordinated enough, he isn't right now) ...
So assuming he is ready for a 50cc bike (e.g. PW50) and I want to take him say to the Ganny, I'm trying to see what are all my legal requirements.
From here: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90o04
I get this :
Age limit for driving
4. (1) No owner of an off-road vehicle shall permit a child under the age of twelve to drive the vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. O.4, s. 4 (1).
Exception
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply where the child is driving the vehicle,
(a) on land occupied by the vehicle owner; or
(b) under the close supervision of an adult. R.S.O. 1990, c. O.4, s. 4 (2).
ok so sure you can ride with your kid on public land on a green plate vehicle that has insurance (liability minimum)
so if that's the case, how do you get insurance for said bike, they can't exactly give you a rate quote for a kid
Which means that I can legally take my kid out on the bike if its under my supervision on public lands for OHV dirt bikes. So to use my bike on public lands, then I need a green plate and I'll need liability insurance. Getting a green plate should be easy just go in and pay for it and present my ownership I assume.
But how do you get liability insurance on a 4 year old ?
I can't be the ONLY dad out there that wants to take there kid riding ??!!
