I think that's a lovely bike and wouldn't mind having one.
Yes, it's kick-start only, but once a new rider becomes familiar operating the controls, stalling a bike at an intersection becomes rare. But... I do hope she "practices" that...encourage her to purposefully stall the bike at a deserted intersection, relax, take time to kick it over without being in a hurry. I would have her practice kick-starting on a hill as well until she's very comfortable as it can be a bit disconcerting the first time it happens--particulary if in traffic with an impatient driver behind you.
