Due to a family crisis, I haven't gotten to ride it as much as I would have liked to at this point. But, from the sporadic rides I have taken, I can ride fairly comfortably in a straight line, and am starting to gain a little more confidence in turning. Our 8 year old daughter took to it immediatly and loves it! In fact, her method of balancing on the pedals taught me how to turn it! My husband has tried it, but is a bit scared to ride. If I were building it for myself, ideally I would like the handles a bit higher as I feel like I tend to "hunch" over them rather than standing straight up -- a couple of inches higher and I think it would be more comfortable (and I'm short -- 5'2")...
