Before I finally got my shadow I rode a scooter. Scooter's been sitting due to electrical problems, plus I ride the shadow all the time now and have no time to even mess with the scooter, but it's on my list. Wife originally said she woould never get on a bike. But I convinced her and now she can't get enough ...... She surprised me the other day when she told me that I need to fix the scooter, so when I'm not around she could get some practice in before I send her to the MSF Basic Rider Course! Halleluyah!

Just take it easy to start. Keep her out of traffic and in low risk situations. Work your way up. No different than anyone learning to ride.
Deadshadow - I know what you mean. When the wife and I are out riding together I'm always worrying and checking the mirrors.
