negative! the smaller diameter tires really suck in the bumpy corners! my friend had one smuggled in from japan. it was a 2 stroke so it couldnt be registered here. i loved it. the throttle was either "off" or "on". i would fly! till i almost killed myself in a corner. she bought it for $500 american, and i sold it for her to some guy as a pit bike.
also, riding with your feet in front of you, like sitting in a chair, is not as stable as straddling something. you can clamp down on the gas tank and hold on. step thru design is sketch for me.
