My grandson was 7 when he got his first ride. Put his motocross helmet on him, set him on the bike with his feet on the saddle bags and away we went.

To me its not a matter of actual age. Are they mature enough, and do they fit properly with both feet firmly planted on the pegs. Once on its slow around town rides for awhile. Graduating to slow country road rides...etc
Both of mine were on the back by the age of 5,
