In all seriousness, the monster seat is quite low and they've been built to be very stable at low speeds (low CofG, which is why all the DD racers are dropping the forks through the yokes!) so they actually don't feel like they're going to fall over at any point.

You can change stuff like the rideheight on them too, and as Jools says I think you can even get a shorter seat. If not, you could always spend about 50-70 quid and get the seat repadded to make it shorter which is another popular way of making the seat lower.

The bikes can feel heavier than something like a CG125 that you start with, but they're pretty confidence inspiring little machines and feel like a big bike. And they're plenty fast enough!

But I'm sure we're talking a few months away as yet until she's had some lessons and passed her test anyway.
