for what itsworth Sean, i reckon if he's riding it at all - wonky or not- without training wheels let him go and he'll soon be over the wonkiness. I think they can become to reliant on the training wheels and they can become more of a hindrence than anything..

If however he is tippingover the second you let go or he tries to move maybe consider them then..

Just my 2 cents!!

unfortunately its more so that this is the problem,im sick of running behind holding him upright(now thers a thought maybe someone could run behind me and hold me up when i get the wonks)

Hey Seano
If he needs training wheels keep him on a push bike
You didn’t start riding a 510 for you first bike
Training wheels and on motor bike = hospital
He needs to be able to ride and balance with thinking before adding throttle
Control to the equation
