Scoot bike challenged

We have a little scoot around bike for the twins that we got around Christmas because the physical therapist had one that they loved. They don't make it anymore, so we found one similar. Of course the boys didn't like it as much, it's a little harder, so we put it away for a while. Since we have been having the Spiderman ride-on smack downs around here, I decided to get the bike out and try it again. They now like it, but it's still a bit of a challenge. The front wheels stick out to the sides really far and the seat isn't as long and narrow as the one the therapist had (it went almost to the handle bars). All that seems to be a confusing challenge to Collin at least (Oliver prefers Spiderman). Here are some photos of Collin trying to figure it out...

Sitting on the bar (instead of the seat) all the way forward with feet in front of wheels - wondering why he can't get it to move...
Sitting on the back wheels...
Almost there, going backwards but sitting correctly (who cares that we just painted that trim that he keeps ramming into?????)...
Success! And one handed even, while he holds onto a car...

Here are some twin acrobats. Oliver got onto the bike when Collin was trying to ride it while sitting on the back wheels. Oliver then decided to dismount (of his own mind) off the front. Collin offered to help...
