My wife had the Pampera out yesterday with my son on his PW50. There is a small section of woods on the lake where I live that contains a retention basin. The bike is perfect for this type of family riding. Its also very quiet and offends no one. I could ride straight up the side of the basin (short but steep) with absolutely no momentum. I have a trials tire on the bike so that helps as well. This is great for my wife because she is not aggressive at all, and the bike is very forgiving. The local kids set up a very short(1/2 mile) trail loop. After a few laps of hammering that, the rear brakes were cooked. I had to pour water on the caliper to cool it off. So you see its fine in its element, but not good being pushed hard.
