Question

make a news outline about mini bikes and how great they are including a finished headline, lead, and introduction (total of about five sentences—but pay attention to creativity, voice, and interest!) and a bullet pointed outline for each body paragraph of your story. Each of those bullet pointed paragraphs (you should have at least three) should contain the facts you need

Headline:
Tiny Thrills: Why Mini Bikes Make Getting Outside Awesome

Lead:
Mini bikes are small, easy-to-ride motorcycles that give kids and families big outdoor fun in a tiny package.

Introduction (three more sentences):
They are light and simple, so beginners learn balance and control fast. Mini bikes come in lots of colors and styles, and they can be used for short rides, practice, or just backyard fun. Before you ride, remember to wear a helmet and follow the rules for your area.

Body paragraph outlines (each list shows the facts you would use to write that paragraph):

1) What a mini bike is and how it works
- Small two-wheel motorcycle with a low seat and small frame.
- Engines are usually between about 50cc and 150cc (these are small engines).
- Has a throttle (to go), a brake lever or pedal (to stop), and often a simple chain drive.
- Top speeds vary: some go about 15–25 mph, others can reach 30–35 mph depending on model.
- Not the same as a full-size dirt bike or scooter; built for short rides and practice.

2) Why mini bikes are fun and helpful
- Great for learning balance, steering, and safe riding basics.
- Ride time builds confidence and motor skills for kids and new riders.
- They make outdoor play exciting and get people moving instead of sitting inside.
- Perfect for quick trips around a big property, farm, or private track.
- Many families enjoy riding together as a hobby and a way to spend time outside.

3) Safety tips and rules to follow
- Always wear a properly fitting helmet plus eye protection and closed-toe shoes.
- Use knee and elbow pads and gloves for extra protection.
- Ride only where it is allowed: private land, tracks, or places that permit mini bikes.
- Check local laws: some places need registration, age limits, or a license.
- Never ride alone; an adult or buddy should be nearby, and do a safety check before each ride (brakes, tires, chain, fuel).

4) How to pick and care for a mini bike
- Decide if you want new or used; new bikes come with a warranty, used bikes cost less.
- Check brakes, tires, engine sound, and look for oil leaks on a used bike.
- Think about seat height and weight so the rider can touch the ground safely.
- Regular care: check oil, tighten the chain, keep tires pumped, and change spark plug when needed.
- Prices vary: some entry-level bikes cost a few hundred dollars; more powerful or new models cost more.

Use these points to write full paragraphs that explain what mini bikes are, why they are great, how to stay safe, and how to choose and care for one.
