The information within the above is an excellent method to determine the many options and which upgrade method might be best for you, and your young rider's unique riding conditions.
Friendly Reminder: Only upgrade the mini when your young rider is able to handle the extra power, or is needed for certain riding conditions. For example,
extreme soft sand. Always remember we upgrade the mini for our young rider's needs and not our own "fastest in the neighborhood" wants. Sometimes, I often forget this myself.
