    build her an Auto 200x, this way it will last her alot longer (size wise) than just another year.

    An auto 200x still has to be shifted just like his 185. But a 185 is big for a 7 year old. You can get her a trizinger. 1 gear centrifugal clutch, so no shifting, but she'll out grow it quick. Everything else has a semiauto clutch, meaning shifting, but no pulling a clutch by hand or will have a hand clutch-foot shift operation. Not to sound mean, but if she can't shift, then maybe trikes or quads aren't for her. That is the kind of thing where kids get hurt. And no one likes seeing or hearing about that. I would recommend an atc70, but she still has to auto-shift just like on the 185, so that probably won't work. Maybe you should just wait till she gets older?

    I would say a zinger would work pretty good for now and then I think a Polaris Scrambler is an automatic too but correct me if I'm wrong guys.

    Yes, the polaris 3 wheeler is a auto, just like the 4 wheelers. The Polaris is a grown adult machine though, its workhorse heavy and has a 250cc engine. I agree, you could look for a tri zinger, atc 70 or suzuki 50 3 wheeler. Dont get anything bigger, because the kid could get hurt. The small 3 wheelers are so light, and also sit a lot lower to the ground. Another possibility would be a 90 or 110 if she is big enough, and you think she can handle it and learn to shift. Good luck!

    Get her the Tri-zinger..... screw the throttle stop in until she gets used to it then slowly turn it out as she gets better. It's just what you're looking for.
