Motocross gift for kids aged 4 and over
The kids motocross voucher is aimed at the youngest riders from age 4. The child rides a Honda kids' rental motorcycle, is provided with protective gear and is instructed by professional coaches. So you do not have to buy your own equipment before you know whether your child enjoys motocross.
The voucher can be made out for a one-hour taster course or for a complete package – on Wednesdays, Saturdays or Saturdays including catering. The hour in the taster course is suitable for a first experience, the complete package for children with more stamina. You decide which option the voucher is valid for when ordering.
If you have children of different ages, the kids motocross and youth vouchers can be combined. This way, each child gets the course that suits their age. This is particularly practical for siblings who want to start together.
Youth motocross as a gift for teenagers
For teenagers there is the youth motocross voucher. It includes a rental motorcycle, protective gear and training with professional coaches and can likewise be chosen as a taster course or a complete package. As with kids motocross, Wednesday, Saturday and Saturday with catering are available.
Whether someone already has a licence is irrelevant for teenagers: riding takes place in Schlatt TG on closed-off grounds, not on public roads. This makes motocross a hobby that can start long before the first learner's permit. Teenagers without any riding experience can also begin with the taster course.
Whether the kids or the youth voucher is the better fit depends on age and stage of development. If you are unsure, a value voucher is a good solution: the family later uses it for the right course.
What parents should know before giving
Neither children nor teenagers need a driving licence for the courses. You do not have to organise a motorcycle or protective gear; the MX-Academy provides both for the taster course and the complete package. There is no road traffic on the closed-off grounds, and practice takes place under the guidance of the professional coaches.
Because each voucher remains valid for 2 years, the course day can be coordinated calmly with the family calendar. If grandparents or godparents are giving the gift, a quick word with the parents is worthwhile, because the family usually organises the registration and the course day.
From the course to your child's own motorcycle
Once the child enjoys riding, the question of their own motorcycle often follows. Honda builds off-road motorcycles for children for this purpose. The CRF50F is designed for children aged about 4 and up; thanks to the centrifugal clutch, the little ones only operate throttle and brake and can concentrate fully on their posture.
Honda specifies the CRF110F with electric starter for ages 8 to 11. With the manual gearbox of the CRF125F, children later learn to use the clutch; the CRF150R is a competition motorcycle for teenagers with riding experience and not intended for beginners.
All three entry-level models – CRF50F, CRF110F and CRF125F – have a four-stroke engine. Which model suits your child's size and ability is easier to judge after the first course days.
In four steps from voucher to course day
First, you choose the voucher: kids motocross or youth motocross, each as a taster course, complete package or value amount. Next, you order in the 4motocross.ch online shop and pay with TWINT; the PDF comes straight away by email, optionally with a design for a birthday or for Christmas. Then you hand over the voucher printed or digitally. Finally, you sign your child up online for a course day via the MX-Academy event calendar – you pay on site. The whole process can thus be done conveniently from home.
Amounts for kids and youth vouchers
The course vouchers for children and teenagers start at CHF 165. The same starting amount applies to teenagers. Value vouchers are available for 20, 50 and 100 francs – for example as a contribution from a godparent or as a small extra gift for a child's birthday.
Bank transfer, postal delivery and amounts of your own choosing are not available – orders are placed exclusively online. In return, the voucher is ready within a few minutes.
Frequently asked questions: Gift for kids
From what age does a motocross gift for kids make sense?
From age 4. With the kids motocross voucher, the youngest get a Honda kids' rental motorcycle together with protective gear and ride under the guidance of professional coaches.
Does my child need their own protective gear?
No. A rental motorcycle and protective gear come with the taster course and with the complete packages. Buying your own equipment is only worthwhile once the child wants to ride regularly.
Who looks after the children on the track?
The children ride under the instruction of professional coaches on closed-off grounds in Schlatt TG. Teenagers are also accompanied by professional coaches.
Do children or teenagers need a driving licence?
No. The courses do not take place on public roads but on closed-off grounds. A licence is therefore not needed at any age.
What suits teenagers?
The youth motocross voucher with a rental motorcycle, protective gear and professional coaches. It is available for a taster course, a complete package or with a fixed value of 20, 50 or 100 francs.
