Check for license and insurance first then check her out on a closed course. If all looks good then, why not? Oh, and invest in a set of pedal extensions and a seat booster.

if you say no, you are being truthful, in that it does not have/use a key (in the traditional sense, anyway )

Sure, give her a key. It won't start the C7 ,so what's the harm?
