Yes, she rides it when we all go out as a family. My youngest daughter & I usually ride the Yerf and my wife rides the Pilot. I keep telling my oldest daughter I'd like to sell the 350 Ody and replace it with another Pilot, but she claims she prefers the Ody to the Pilot, but I really I think she is just scared of the Pilot.

She has ridden my Pilot a couple times and since it has an aftermarket rack & Pinion on it, it takes a bit more muscle to turn it over just the stock Tie Rod set up, so I think that might also be another reason she claims she doesn't like it. But Honestly in my heart, I know that even though the Pilot is faster, it is a much safer machine over the Ody because it handles so much better, & is much more forgiving when that something unexpected happens.

Eventually, if my daughters stay interested in the buggy's I would like to pick up 3 more Pilots so the whole family will have one, but since my youngest is only 6 it will be a while.
