In my experience, 'bents for youngsters needs careful forethought. I built a LWB for one of my 14 YO grandkids, and he damn near landed in the hospital showing off. The 'bent has 2 mirrors, but he repeatedly ignores them - especially when he's doing donuts in the middle of the street. You get the picture. A reclined high racer would be downright lethal without rigorous and repetitive training. Bare-in-mind, that kids don't ride them for the same reasons we do - it's different... it's 'cool'... it's a dangerous ego booster.
