Thomas in MT
The 12 E is too small, with the small 12 inch tires, short wheelbase and steep fork rake. The front would understeer too much, and was very jerky. Not ideal for a young beginner. Skip the 12 E and go with the 16E, which has much better handling. They otherwise have the same powertrains, batteries, etc. I rate the larger one 5 stars. The factory replica paint schemes are very pretty, worth the extra $$. Plan to buy extra batteries, they last only about 30-45 min.
