The 12" bike will come with KICK START enabled.  (The rider must start the bike in motion before the motor will kick in).  Beginners should start with the SLOW setting on the switch located on the bottom of the bike.  Once your child begins to feel comfortable riding at this level, increase the speed setting on the switch as needed.

When your child is ready, customize the settings to your child by taking the bottom cover off and disconnecting the KICK START plug, the TORQUE LIMITER plug, and/or the SPEED LIMITER plug, and watch your child's balance and skill grow!
