Once she masters the clutch on the ex we can move on to bikes.
I need an excuse to buy another Lifan. |
I imagine teaching someone on a ATV would be alot easier. I used to have
a Polaris when the kids were smaller but it was an automatic. I think the
best thing I could do is take them to a big field somewhere and let them
go. With my yard being so small I think it intimidates them. Too many
things to run into (garage, fence, couple trees). Thought about taking
them to the trails I found but not sure that three bikes running around
would be a good thing? I'll figure something out.
