I had a mini motorbike and a medium one when I was about 8/9.

Used to practice riding a figure 8 on the green outside my house. It was such good fun!

Where do you get his gear from?
My three year old rides in Daddys side car rig. We've gotten her a full face helmet that fits. But weve been having difficulty finding the rest of the gear.
.
Finding the gear for the small guys was tough. Other racers at our home MX track recommended this supplier. They have girls protective clothing too. Might be worth checking them out... Have fun and be safe!

I'm no expert, but from the video it appears that he is leaning the wrong way when he turns with those training wheels on. He is leaning to the outside of the turns, and the first time he tries that without the training wheels on he is going to have a nasty high side off.

I am with all of those who say that he needs to learn to ride a bike before he rides the PTW.

At least half your age plus seven or it's creepy.

Oh wait, this isn't about dating?!

In that case I can't add to the discussion because I'm a big hypocrite about letting me kids ride. I made them take the course, but told they they couldn't start riding until they could afford the bike, gear, gas and insurance.

When riding on two wheels you have to counter steer.
With those extra wheels you have to steer.
