Your a good Dad getting involved with your kids, Today most parents don't wan't to hear or see there kids and just give them a gameboy to go play in there room. I'm getting that bike X 2 for my nephew's because there father is a pos and doesn't spend time with them at all.
@@tmoor1858 me to. i feel like my dad will get this for me if i help him assemble it (he is not a certified mechanic, but he can do that kind of work) and if I pay for at least 100 dollars of it. so i hope so lol. I only have 60 dollars now. from working for 6 hours.
Guitar, cats, and everything else I’m 12 I have $400 I just spent 90 on an electric scooter only goes 15mph when I get my dirt bike I might sell it or rent it
Thanks for showing the video by allowing your son to get it started. Usually, many people had the video with the bike already started and you cannot tell who can and cannot get the bike to start. I like that you showed the whole process of him starting for himself. Thanks, and it was a very helpful video I have seen by far. Thanks for sharing Mr. Boyd. I appreciated.
Started riding bikes his age, needs the weight and support of a riding boot to kick start it or use heel part of his foot. I can still kickstart a bike w/ just sandals 🩴 if I kickstart using my heel!
If you have ethanol-free fuel available near you then you don't have to worry too much when it comes to winter storage and fuel going bad. Ethanol-free fuel does not collect water like fuel containing ethanol.
yeah this is a great video you no im saving up to buy one and im like that looks east to start on videos bet i saw you and thank you for the tip and keep up being great
Mainly most of the information was right but this is a TaoTao not the Apollo. the Apollo is green, but other than that this is a great videos inform people though I do agree the Kickstart is a pain. 😅(Unless if you did say this was a TaoTao and I just have bad hearing.)
So I’ve been looking at this bike and wanted to know how to start it also please link the website where you got it from also do you have to buy parts for it or does it come assembled
It's a kick start motorcycle, so there is no key. This one is also a semi automatic so it kind of gets you started with regular motorcycles because it has gears that you have to change but it doesn't have a clutch. Depending on your weight I would say this little bike with run about 40 mph.
The place I bought it from is out in California but they don't sell it anymore. You do have to put it together but you don't have to buy anything. It's not hard to put together but I don't remember what all you have to do, I think you have to put the front tire on and the handle bars but I don't remember for sure.
sorry one last question how tall specifically how tall is the bike cause when I look to buy it it says Height:41 inches. Yet the seat height says: 28 inches
I would probably get him or her a bigger one but honestly an adult could ride it. Yes the kickstand and pedals broke off but that was because of adults treating it like their bike.
Hey man, im looking to buy this bike for my son and I need to know if this bike is apropriate for his height. He is 12 and around 4 8 or 4 9. How tall is your son? Is the bike reliable?
The bike is decent. It's an Asian bike so keep that in mind. The best thing is the parts are cheap and easy to find. I've had to replace the brake cylinder and foot pegs. He logs the bike, so I think your son would to. Great starter bike.
thinking about getting one for my son. is your son's bike still in working conditions at the time?(4.10.19) any issues with the bike at all? i just don't want to buy it then break down 3 months later. thanks in advance .
The bike is still working. We have had our issues but for price I would buy again. The kick stand and foot pegs broke off and had to replace the rear brake cylinder. I plan on making a video of repairing the foot pegs. They where welded on but I can't weld. Lol
My son have the same one, road it 1 time & it started leaking gas. Got my other son a smaller 1 & he’s won’t crank up after the second time riding it. Is anyone else having trouble. I’ve looked at the reviews after I bought it & the reviews not as good. Spent 1700$
$1700 is a LOT. The local pawn shop near me has the DB14 for $850 and even the DB17 for $1000 out the door but I digress...Check Amazon for a new aftermarket carburetor and try changing the spark plug to start easier
@@Darealjujuuu I order this from a company out of California but they are no longer in business. Just search Tao Tao DB14 and it will bring up several places to buy it.
I bought it at www.powersportsmax.com but they don't seem to sell the TAO anymore but the do sell the Apollo, pretty much the same thing, the parts are interchangeable.
I will fit you pretty good. Your just 3 in. shorter that he was but that will all depend if you have long legs or a long torso. Still I think it will work for you.

Good job little guy and good job dad. I am getting my son the same one this weekend and can’t wait to make videos. Thanks for sharing
Love it! Nothing better than watching your own kids ride and riding with them! You're a great father!
Great! Thankyou for your time
SAFE RIDING ! From Buffalo, ny
thanks..! perfect video.. been looking at the DB-14 or DB-17 for my 11y
do a 14 db 17 a lot taller
Tebibyte fax that’s what I have
It's easier to start when you hold the brake down
Money Mapa which brake though?
which brake
Tell him to not jump just so Force on your right leg
That man said Apollo
That’s a tao Tao 110cc 4 stroke gang
Please listen to the whole video, I do correct that.
That’s a big 125cc I have the bike
Life ain’t easy but if you work hard enough for something you’ll get just like your son he had to put the work in but he got it
@Carlos Espinosa Thank you, that was much appreciated.
its a Lifan engine and the plastics are crf50. checkout ebay crf50 Plastics, if you wanna change the look of the bike or replace broken plastics.
Don't just ride off let the bike worm up or you'll break the piston
Not this one I have one and don’t warm it up
warm up for how long
@@geo745don 15-20 minutes
@@Wo0DyFrmDaH ok
your son must really love you.
Its a tao tao not apollo
Please listen to the whole video, I correct that in the video.
the random guy I was going to say
What kind of gas does it take
I suggest super unleaded.
Thx man it's very helpful
This boy need some leg muscle
He's 11...... Tough guy
@@Drainingtheswamp2022 now he is like 13-14 bc the video was made in 2018
anhkhoi le I have one of these myself it’s a very stiff kick start
Point is he was 11 in the video Bruh.
He needs oatmeal 😂😂😂
Started riding bikes his age, needs the weight and support of a riding boot to kick start it or use heel part of his foot. I can still kickstart a bike w/ just sandals 🩴 if I kickstart using my heel!
It's not a 2 stroke u don't have to pump it
Make sure to dump the gas after the fall and winter cause it can cause sticky gas and stuff
If you have ethanol-free fuel available near you then you don't have to worry too much when it comes to winter storage and fuel going bad. Ethanol-free fuel does not collect water like fuel containing ethanol.
@@djnate1039 exactly, I run ethanol free gas in all my toys and yard equipment that sits and have very few problems.
Good video...... how's the bike holding up since this video
Good video ty!
Thank you Matt
I have this and if he still does tell him that if you hold the brake and have your kick stand down it’s easier to start
He still has it
Thanks for this! My son just got his and has had trouble starting it. Definitely not as easy as some make it look.
You are Welcome Becca.
yeah this is a great video you no im saving up to buy one and im like that looks east to start on videos bet i saw you and thank you for the tip and keep up being great
It's manual transmission 😱😂 that's awesome!
No, It's semi, meaning you switch gears but no clutch.
to be clear in this video he is 5'3" yes?
It didn’t start that easy because it was cold outside and vehicles that haven’t ran in a while don’t start up easy
first of all why its easy on videos is because its a warm day next6 thing its a two stroke
He is 54 inches as of today
Feb12 2021 looking into the spring
So these/ my comments are still valid -
My son is now 5' 6 or 66 inches and it's still fine for him.
How do people have a hard time starting dirt bikes
They not slammin hard enough you gotta get it right the first time all the way down not to hard & not to light
pit bike
Stilt Damberlin I thought the bike was blew up 😂
I got a db10 Tao Tao 50 cc and I got it when I was 7 and I’m 12 now so I have it for about 5 to6 years now
Kenneth Boyd I’m 4’11 maybe 5’0 should I get this or the db17
This one. Have fun.
Get the db17 because it taller and I’m like 5,0 5,2 and I can tuck good and the db17 is pretty quick
you gotta give it gas as you kickstart it
Who else came to the comments to say it’s Tao Tao not apollo🤣
The comment above yours...
Don't rev it on cold or drive it let it warm up unless you want your engine to not last long
I liked the atv that rode by. Would you recommend that for a child that is just starting out. I have an 8 year old. What brand/type/size?
My son that was riding the Apollo sports track 125 was 7 at the time about a month and a half before his 7 the birthday. So yes I would recommend it.
if it's semi-automatic why would you need a shifter
Mason Williams That's what a semi-auto is. No clutch, but a shifter.
Because you still have to change the gears and it's designed to help them move to a manual.
Says the no life with the fortnite as the profile pic
It’s manual no clutch
U said it was an Apollo db14 110cc it’s Taotao 0:30
Mainly most of the information was right but this is a TaoTao not the Apollo. the Apollo is green, but other than that this is a great videos inform people though I do agree the Kickstart is a pain. 😅(Unless if you did say this was a TaoTao and I just have bad hearing.)
this bike you buy from here
It came from a company in California
How tall was he when you got it?
It’s the 100cc correct ?
It's a 110 cc, He was 5' even
I haven’t ride mine since summer
I’m ten years old I have that bike and I can start like nothing
Lucan Lucas ur so cool
is it a new name brand? with automatic compression release?
Have him start it with the kickstand down he won’t have as much trouble my 8 yr old starts mine no problem
he need some legwork buddy
he needs to warm it up first just a lil tip

Kenneth Boyd also how much is it because the one I was looking at it cost 180 dollars for shipping
@@medic32050 Then you are about the size of my son, so it should run about 40 mph for you.
thanks
Need to feed him more lol
Lmaooooooooo
Do you have a spark arrestor on the dirt bike? If so, what is the name of it. PLEASE RESPOND
No sir it's all stock.
So I’m about to turn 12 should I get this bike or get a bigger one?
This bike is fine, adults even like it.
this bike very cheap or no
It's a great price
I got one but at first there hard to kick start
sorry one last question how tall specifically how tall is the bike cause when I look to buy it it says Height:41 inches. Yet the seat height says: 28 inches
Make sure to put premium gas
hey i was thinking about getting this bike, how tall is your son because idk if i should get the db14 or the db17
@Ava Nicole, he was 5 ft. In that video. He's 5' 6" now and can still ride it.
u need to tune the carborator
I'm a fuel injector guy. I know you tell a screw or two but I don't really know how, without getting too deep into it. But thanks,
I have the db14 110cc version
Would this be good for a 14 yo 5"7 have you ever had problems with it
I would probably get him or her a bigger one but honestly an adult could ride it. Yes the kickstand and pedals broke off but that was because of adults treating it like their bike.

I have a 125 dirt bike
Aye bro let me get that
I have the same one there is a gear above neutral idk what it is
Let check but its probably first gear
I don't think it is because when your in neutral and shift down it feels like first then you can go down 3 more

Did u change the oil before riding
I have the same bike its mad ez to kick, but watching his struggle tho😂
I’m 10 and could start it very ez at 9

I hadn't thought of that.
how tall is he
He was either 5, or 5' 2 in this video
@@bluecollarsportsman613 alr thank you
You had the bike for about a year now How do you like the bike?
For the price I like it. But, I have some repair vids coming up. It's not the best built thing but it's a quarter the price of Japanese bikes.
cant start it cant ride it
@logiman07 That's called incentive! 😊
I have the same one
i think 25mph to 30mph
Nice isn't it?
depends on the weight but I'm seen it upto 34 mph
Are they nice bikes I'm thinking about getting one
Davenk317 40mph* you must got a fucked up pit bike

I start it up with the kickstand then I kick it back up and ride
How tall is your kid

How long did it take to come in when u ordered it ?

No, it just takes getting use too. After you have ridden it for awhile you'll get the feel of the throttle
ya you just need to be careful with the throttle over time you will get used to it and get better throttle control
