The Eton has the speed control screw (I havent adjusted it yet) and the LT has the throttle stop (I turned that way down)
The LT80 is a great fit for my son size wise.. and he really picked up on the foot brake quickly.. the hand brakes for some reason is taking a bit longer.. I think the eton "scares" him a bit.. the bike is louder and slightly bigger and has more going on (switching from N to F, holding the brake at the same time to start it etc) he just likes the LT80 better (he is 5)
She also like the LT80, but she needs to lean forward quite a bit (to much for my liking) and she cant really push on the brake yet and her hands can not put the hand brake.. But she can hit the throttle.. she nailed it last night and took off on me when I was right next to her.. she scared me half to death! as I brought the bike to a stop she was laughing!! she loved it! (I need to watch out for her.... she is one of those!!)
I think the eton 50 may be the way to go... I actually came across a eton 40 that needs some work (I sent an email about it tonight), I am hoping I can pick that up.
My current plan is to have him on the LT for a couple of years then move him to the Eton and have her move to the LT..
Thanks for all the help!!
