3 and up. It's really case by case depending on how confident they are but 5 or 6 is common in the UK. You can start by holding their wheel on the start gate which helps, also you can give them a push over any massuve jumps. My lad was 6 when he started last year and he was doing 2-pedal gates within a few weeks.

You have to be 4 to race at BC meetings as we had to wait until my lad was 4, its a great class (6 and under) with some not making it round with out help and others are little rippers :daumenhoch:

Don't know where you are but Gosport club have plenty of loan helmets available whenever i've been down there.
