Just joined. Looking for research and advice on dirt

Hi all.

New to the site and the China bikes.

I havent been riding dirt since I was a teenager but am now in the market for a couple bikes to get my 8 yr old and I into riding around the property and trails.

I've been looking at the xmoto 50cc and their hawk 150cc as well as the Ricky Power Sports Viper 150.

I can't tell what is what as far as actually different makes or how manybof these are the same bike branded differently.

I'm looking forward to digging into this forum and any advice or suggestions people have.

Welcome to here! Sorry to see no one has offered suggestions, but while I am no real expert on the smaller bikes, I know the Viper 150 from RPS has been around many years and seems to be a venerable smaller dirtbike, with the added 'feature' of it being more along the lines of a bigger bike complete with a vertical thumper vs. the usual pitbikes that are also popular. I suggest looking through and inquiring down in the pitbikes section for better advice.

I would suggest a 250 cc, the tt 250 or hawk are virtually bullet proof & very reasonably priced. a bit more power / extra hp but not much extra weight & larger wheels will be able to last many years .
