A four-year-old boy was found to have sustained serious injuries and was raced to where he remains.
The woman – aged in her 30s – suffered minor injuries and was also taken to hospital for treatment.
Northumbria said the motorcycle was not displaying a registration plate and reportedly fled the scene.
Officers are now appealing for the rider of the to come forward.
He is described as a white male of thick build, wearing a sky blue, short-sleeved t-shirt with dark-coloured shorts, ankle socks and red trainers.
Two other motorcyclists believed to have been connected to the incident have been located, but are not believed to be linked.
An area between Ocean Road and Beach Road was forced to close but has since re-opened.
Anyone who can assist officers, including those with CCTV or dashcam footage, should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media or use live chat and “report” forms on the Force’s website.
