Even though you shouldn't be pandering to her. Tell her as it is. If she doesn't like it she doesn't get the moped. It really isn't that ****ing difficult.
Buy her a push bike.
I heard that New Look are launching a trendy new line of coffins. Sell her that one.

That strikes me as a particularly unreasonable post. Do you know this 16 year old?
I got my bike when I was 17, should I have been on the road?
This is trying to be a constructive thread, why take away from that?
My 2p:
I've ridden a few times in jeans where I was riding for fun and I didn't like it, slowed down accordingly. The problem is if she starts off in jeans, there's nothing for her to accordingly ride to, if that makes any sense?
I won't take anybody out on my bike unless they're in full gear, because they're my responsibility. In the same respect I wouldn't let my kid (if I had one) out without gloves, a proper jacket, boots and of course lid. I'd also make sure that if not textile trousers, hood jeans or similar.
Like Lozzo said, she won't listen to you. I wasn't allowed a bike, and I didn't listen, but I wore full gear. Soon after my dad got a bike
