where is she going to be riding it at??? off rode?? I would say probably q 90cc to a 150cc... If she is going on the street.. then a 200cc to a 250cc... she will need something to run on the street that will keep up with traffic... and a low seater... where both of her feet touch the ground...

Magician and carry some extra fuel. The seat height is low around 30 inches. Reduce the rear shock preload and it will settle down. If she needs a bit more, look at lower profile street or dual sport tires, maybe shaving and contouring the seat foam a little. Also get the bars in a position where she is sitting straight up. Leaning forward can cause issue for some and they can't get their feet planted.

Are you planning on riding on the street, dirt or both? If you’re looking for a street bike, I would look at a Grom clone. Heck, there are a lot of folks who set up their Grom clone for some off-road action!

Keep us posted on what you decide to do!
