Usage Instructions
Assembly & Pre-Ride Checks
-
Upon delivery, inspect all bolts, wheel nuts, stem, handlebars and pedals — tighten securely.
-
Align the front wheel and handlebar.
-
Adjust saddle height so the child’s feet can reach the ground with slight bend at knees when seated.
Using Training Wheels
-
Begin rides with the training wheels attached for stability.
-
Once the child feels more confident, gradually raise or remove the training wheels to allow leaning and balancing.
-
Encourage short practice sessions on flat, open surfaces.
Braking & Control
-
Teach the child to use the front caliper brake gently first, then both brakes together for safe stopping.
-
Avoid sudden or harsh braking which may cause tipping.
-
On slightly sloped surfaces, shift body weight back before braking to maintain balance.
Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe the frame and tyre surfaces after use, especially if dusty or muddy.
-
Check tyre inflation and condition—inflate as needed
-
Regularly inspect brake pads, wires, and hub mechanisms.
-
Tighten any loose parts before each ride.
-
Store the bike in shade or indoors to protect from UV damage or corrosion.
Precautions & Safety Notes
-
Always use a properly fitting children’s helmet, and consider knee/elbow guards.
-
Adult supervision is required at all times while the child is riding.
-
Do not ride on steep slopes, uneven terrain, or near traffic until the child is confident.
-
After any crash or impact, inspect the frame, wheels, forks and components for damage before reuse.
-
Ensure the rider’s weight plus small cargo does not exceed what the frame and components can safely handle.
-
Never modify structural parts of the bike; doing so may compromise safety.
