Grandpa Bilyeu got Aiden this quad and he has been having a great time learning to ride it. I had him in low gear--which is 2.5 mph. Scott got him riding in 5 mph gear!!! He is doing very good at stearing it and learing to go down hills... We go to the park near our house or to the school parking lot across from our street. He is pretty brave and has even learned how to shift it up or down, and into reverse.
