Grand Prix games
Computer games and entertainment revolving around motorbikes abound. Some of the most popular digital treats include the MotoGP games developed by Milestones, available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and computer. Available in all specialised media shops and online portals (such as Orell-Füssli).
LEGO motorbikes
If wielding a PC console is not for you, why not build your own motorbike with LEGO building bricks? Various LEGO Creator and Technics models are available in different difficulty levels for adults and children: www.lego.com
Model kits
For those with patience, time and nimble fingers, the kit of the legendary 1973 BMW R 90 S boxer engine in a scale of 1:2 with more than 200 pieces might be just the thing. Available from BMW dealers or here for CHF 209.
Electric motorbikes for kids
Various motorbike manufacturers offer mini motorbikes for children with electric drives, usually designed as replicas of the real thing. Ideal for the kids’ first attempts at riding. Ask your dealer for information – your offspring will be delighted. For example the Indian eFTR Mini/Junior in the design of the FTR 1200.
Driving licence for a 125 cc model
Are your children a bit older? Since 2021, young people in Switzerland aged 15 and over can ride mopeds that do 45 km/h. Once they are 16, they can swap to modern 15 h.p. 125 cc models. However, they will need a licence in this case. A generous donation in the shape of a voucher for lessons is sure to be a hit under the Christmas tree. For more information on licences, click here.
