not my 14 yr old daughter...won't be seen on the scooter with Dad....my 11 year old daughter is looking forward to riding on the back of the Helix (big, comfy seat, low height)...but neither have expressed any desire to ride.

My wife has never ridden on the back and will probably never...she 'dislikes' my riding hobby and rolls her eyes if I ever talk about the scoots.

Of my six children - only my son rides...a motorcycle.

My 17-year-old son zero interest in riding.

My 15-year-old son has a Honda CRF250X dirt bike and wouldn't be caught dead on my scooter and doesn't even want anyone to know I'm his father when I'm on it. Because, you know, scooters aren't cool.

I think this is all perfectly normal. Scooters don't become cool until you realize comfort, riding enjoyment and fuel economy are actually more important than what other people think.

Nah, no sign of any of my 4 taking to 2 wheels long term. 2 have had brief flirtations with scooters and one with a dirt bike. They’re happy to leave Dad to his odd obsession!
Regards & ride safe,

As others have said... no.

One son was interested in 2 wheels many years ago but never followed through with his mc endorsement on the license and never pursued it after that.

I do have other relatives who ride. My wife rides her Metropolitan. My next older sister and her husband ride. They had a scooter and a Gold Wing at one time but now only a CTX700.
