I took that pic before I rode the bike home, obviously. I always bring my little foot pump whenever I pick up a new ride, and this time I needed it. The tires had less than 20 pounds of air in them.

My wife is 5-foot-2, about 100 pounds, and she fits pretty well in the pilot's seat. The seat is low and the bike is small front to back, but it isn't light. Takes more effort than you'd think to push it around the garage, but it's very balanced and easy to maneuver while you're actually riding it.

A tachometer is an option. Of course I would have preferred one, but as a leftover 2012, I didn't have a choice.

Ahh, gotcha. I would never have thought of that... shows how often I change bikes.

Can she get it off the side stand?
