Here's my 7 year olds tommy I got it to match my Chopper as he is my mini me almost at the end of the rebuild so we can move on to the next bike it's a early one with cable\rod front brake she is starting to look good I think. Here it is when we got it  then it was time for him to strip it down    then it to my work shop for a repaint  Hope to have her on the road by this weekend almost there my boy has put most of it back together with a bit of help from me   then he can strip his mini burner down for new paint and stickers. At age 7 he has 5 bikes and 2 of them are tomahawks Tadpole big man in a small body |

We've got a MK1 tomahawk too, it's just had 2 new tyres but that's it, it's staying ratty.
My 5 year old is a tad short to ride it so he's on a budgie instead.

Give him some time mate he will grow in to it then you can show him some tricks like you did when you where a kid but don't get hurt showing off |
