How about the effect of tread on traction? He could compare a slick tire to 
one with a tread, maybe in wet and dry conditions. There are  different 
ways you could measure "traction", some methods wouldn't even require 
riding a bike. The challenging part would be for him to define what he 
meant by traction, and devise a way to measure it. 

On the other hand, at the grade six level maybe you should just let him 
come up with the question, no matter how simple it is? My son has done 
these kinds of projects, I had lots of ideas of my own but I let him think 
of what he wanted to test, then asked him questions about how he would do 
it. He was happy to do the project that way, because it was his own idea.
