So,  my son is about to hit the big 'three' and is in need of a BMX. What's the best thing for recreational use that is not a piece of shit. Price is not an issue. Thanks.

Spk to dave, I just bought my girl a 2015 United bmx looks the dogs think it was under £300

I would start with a balance bike , get him balanced and then you will not need stabilisers on the pedal bike you buy him affter that .
my choice was the alleyrunner by early rider. unbelivable piece of kit and gets as much as it costs on ebay after you have finnished with it

my daughter had one from 2 and last weekend it took 20 minutes to get her riding a pedal bike with no stabilisers

Hi

Just my thoughts, im no expert....I see on the net some old school 80s 16" bmx,s going for ok cash. I think in your shoes I would get one of those,,,that way you could have fun doing it up....It would probably hold it value, and at 3  I dont expect your boy is too worried about having the latest bike.

Have a look for 16" raleigh burner from mid 80s...Thats what direction I would go in. :)

how cool would this be at 3..

Small bars and seat right down,,,,as he grows just add new bars.  While your at it, why not treat yourself to a matching one to ride with him,,, when he hits 10/12 he can have that one too.
