The Indian MM5A with the forward kick just plain worked for kids. They sat on the seat and just had to push forward a natural thing when the bikes came with training wheels. So the feet were on the pegs ( No need to ballance ) and stand up.
Now after the learning curve of riding was acheived the wheels came off and then the two stages of opening up the air flow to the engine by drilling out the intake manifold to a larger opening and cutting out the openings in the little plastic air cleaner. Zip Boom Bah you got a real motorcycle.
I have one original owners manual for a MM5A just chocked full of intructions of how to keep your Mini Mini running geat.
