I have a Dahon, in addition to my full size bikes. I like it a LOT especially for crowed city riding. It VERY maneuverable, It balances really well, I can easily ride at really low speeds 2-3-4 mph, I can't ride a full size bike at 2-3 mph. It wouldn't be my choice for high speeds or steep hill climbs. But it will go 20 mph on flat ground, I've had it over 30 on the downhill runs and it's very stable, No worries. I'm not to 70 -yet - but it is very easy to get on and off, balance well at low speeds, so I could see how this could turn into a favorite bike as I get older.
As long as she is comfortable on it, then it's perfect! People will ride a bike the feel good on and that's the important part.
