Keeping kids entertained at camp: Noisy petrol bikes vs. silent electr

They are just more chinese electric bikes..expensive too.

Children’s brains are not fully developed. They have little sense when riding properly at speed in and out of other camps. Other campers will not hear them coming. Children panic, disaster happens. Keep them away. A big NO from me.

We took our kids camping from a very early age.

They were entertained by themselves or interacted with us by observing and listening to nature and if we went anywhere, we used the good old "shanks pony" in other words we walked.

We also took card and board games etc, eye spy when driving.

When a little older they used good old-fashioned bikes that needed to be peddled and effort, good exercise, healthy too!

Now our kids take their kids, same philosophy. And with the advent of electronic games and videos available...our grandkids do was our kids did, look out the window, observe, ask questions or read a book

Hi Guy,

I am not a fan of kids on EBikes or EScooters. Children do not have the same common sense that adults have. Some adults do not seem to follow “camp etiquette” when it comes to riding/walking through other peoples camp sites, let alone kids on near silent EBikes. At least on a push bike kids are getting exercise, not only in their legs, but also cardiovascular exercise as well. So it is a no from me.

Macca.

You should be educating your children to APPRECIATE NATURE, SO much to learn for the Powered Bike riding morons from the city. Why take something which is the same as is already stuffing them up? Show and TEACH them something other than what they see in EVERYDAY LIFE AT HOME, if you can. If not learn something about the bush and show your children. It will enrichen their lives where a POWERED ANYTHING WILL NOT!
I thought the whole idea of camping was to discover something different, something which is educational and character developing!

Learn about eco systems, SYMBIOTIC systems and animals, birds, spiders. There is LOTS out there. You don't learn much at 50kmh.
