Note for Parents:
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your minor child, and that includes
making sure the bicycle is properly fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you
and your child have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle; and that you and your child have
learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but also the
common sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling. As a parent, you should read this manual, as well as review its
warnings and the bicycle’s functions and operating procedures with your child, before letting your child ride the
bicycle.
WARNING. Make sure that your child always wears an approved bicycle helmet when riding; but also
make sure that your child understands that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and must be removed
when not riding. A helmet must not be worn while playing, in play areas, on playground equipment, while
climbing trees, or at any time while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
1. First
NOTE: We strongly urge you to read this Manual in its entirety before your first ride; but at the very least,
read and make sure that you understand each point in this section, and refer to the cited sections on any
issue which you don’t completely understand.
A. Bike Fit
1. Is your bike the right size? To check, see Section 3.A. If your bicycle is too large or too small for you, you may
lose control and fall. If your new bike is not the right size, ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.
2. Is the saddle at the right height? To check, see Section 3.B. If you adjust your saddle height, make sure that you
follow the Minimum Insertion instructions in Section 3.B.
