A micromotorcycle is one of the simplest, most accessible and safest means of teaching teenagers how to ride in motoring towns. Purely externally, in terms of layout, it differs little from a “real” motorcycle. At the same time, it is lighter, more maneuverable, and its speed “ceiling” is relatively low.
