I see a lot of bikes using mid frame stands. Are they better than the rear tire mount kind? I'm looking for a safer way for my kid to get the motor going, other than a pull start.
Thing is, every Chinagirl is a little different. Nature of the beast. Some are more sensitive to humidity and temp, some seem to ignore it.I never ever have found it required to use the choke. Even when it is starting cold after a week of sitting in the garage all of my bike have always started within seconds of pedaling and releasing the clutch. Try it sometime. Just one less thing to do.
A heavy-duty center stand should be able to handle a kid sitting on the bike with it deployed. Something like this:But can you sit on it? Since that's the end goal, it's kind of an important feature. Today, I found out the hard way how tricky it can be to pedal, throttle, adjust choke, make a left turn, & stay upright. I need a stand so my kid doesn't relive my experience.
