• More detailed <strong>in</strong>formation on how to mount the front<br />

brakes.<br />

Warn<strong>in</strong>g! It is possible for children to ignore this function,<br />

and the effects of the bicycle's removable brakes. Please,<br />

expla<strong>in</strong> to them how it works and the effects of the front<br />

brake, <strong>in</strong> order to avoid falls.<br />

– The front wheel brake can be mounted with a harmless<br />

brake lever for small children.<br />

– The brake lever gap can be adjusted to fit the size of the<br />

child's hand with an adjustment screw.<br />

– Please check the follow<strong>in</strong>g each time the child is go<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

ride the bicycle:<br />

– The brake lever must move easily.<br />

– The distance between the brake lever and the handlebar<br />

must be appropriate for the child's hand.<br />

– When turn<strong>in</strong>g the adjust<strong>in</strong>g screw clockwise, you reduce<br />

the distance between the brake lever and the handlebar<br />

grip. This distance is correct when the child is able to<br />

squeeze the brake with two f<strong>in</strong>gers, us<strong>in</strong>g normal<br />

pressure.<br />

Warn<strong>in</strong>g! It should not be possible to squeeze the brake<br />

lever without the brakes us<strong>in</strong>g their maximum strength.<br />

Make sure the brake works each time you adjust the<br />

distance between the lever and the handlebar grip. If<br />

necessary, adjust the brakes aga<strong>in</strong>.<br />

– If the effectiveness of the brake is reduced, adjust the<br />

brake aga<strong>in</strong> by follow<strong>in</strong>g the steps above.<br />

9. REAR WHEEL BRAKE:<br />

– The rear brake is <strong>in</strong>side the back rim bush<strong>in</strong>g and it is<br />

connected to the bicycle frame with a brake cam. It<br />

comes completely assembled.<br />

– The rear brake can only be used when the transmission<br />

assembly is <strong>in</strong> place.<br />

– The rear brake is activated by pedall<strong>in</strong>g backwards. This<br />

way the children are able to use their legs to exert<br />

sufficient force on the brake.<br />

– Once the transmission assembly is <strong>in</strong> place, ensure that<br />

the brake cam is properly fitted to the frame with the nut<br />

and the bolt.<br />

– The rear brake <strong>in</strong>side the back rim does not require any<br />

adjustments or modifications.<br />

Warn<strong>in</strong>g! If the brake cam is not properly attached to the<br />

frame, the brake will not work. The brake cam must be<br />

properly fitted to the frame. Please check that it is before<br />

each use.<br />

10. THE SADDLE:<br />

• Adjust<strong>in</strong>g saddle height:<br />

WITHOUT THE PEDAL SYSTEM MOUNTED (Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />

Bicycle):<br />

– If the pedal system has not been mounted, the saddle<br />

will be at the correct height when the child's feet reach<br />

the floor without difficulty.<br />

Warn<strong>in</strong>g! Keep the saddle at a lower height until the child<br />

has got used to the bicycle.<br />

WITH THE PEDAL SYSTEM MOUNTED (Bicycle with<br />

pedals):<br />

– When the pedal system is mounted, the saddle will be at<br />

the correct height when the child's foot can rest<br />

comfortably on the pedal (at its lowest position).<br />

– The child's leg should be slightly bent.<br />

– Loosen the screw to adjust the height of the saddle.<br />

– Tighten the screw aga<strong>in</strong> to lock the saddle.<br />

– Once the pedal system is mounted, the saddle cannot be<br />

adjusted to its lowest position.<br />

– As the child grows up, you will have to adjust the saddle<br />

height periodically.<br />

Warn<strong>in</strong>g! Take <strong>in</strong>to account the tube's m<strong>in</strong>imum <strong>in</strong>sertion<br />

level, <strong>in</strong>dicated with “m<strong>in</strong>. <strong>in</strong>sertion”. If the m<strong>in</strong>imum level is<br />

not respected, the saddle tube could break and the child<br />

could fall.<br />

• Adjust<strong>in</strong>g the position and/or tilt of the saddle:<br />

1. Loosen the four hexagonal screws. It is not necessary to<br />

remove the protective devices.<br />

2. Place the saddle <strong>in</strong> the desired horizontal position.<br />

3. Tighten back the hexagonal screws.<br />

– These <strong>in</strong>structions are to help you adjust the saddle so<br />

that it is comfortable for the child.<br />

– It will be <strong>in</strong> the right position once the child is comfortable<br />

rid<strong>in</strong>g the bicycle.<br />

11. THE REFLECTORS:<br />

The bicycle <strong>in</strong>cludes two reflectors for the spokes, one front<br />

reflector and one rear reflector.<br />

You just have to align the front reflector and mount the rear<br />

reflector on the saddle's tube, which will only be possible if<br />

the saddle height is approximately 5 cm.<br />

1 Rear reflector mounted on the saddle tube.<br />

2 Align the front reflector as <strong>in</strong>dicated <strong>in</strong> the illustration<br />

below, loosen<strong>in</strong>g the screw and then tighten<strong>in</strong>g it aga<strong>in</strong>.<br />

12. THE PEDALS:<br />

– Mount the pedals before mount<strong>in</strong>g the pedal system.<br />

– If you mount the pedals at an angle, the lever thread will<br />

break.<br />

– Mount the pedal marked "R" <strong>in</strong> the right lever (next to the<br />

cha<strong>in</strong>) clockwise (right side thread).<br />

– Attach the pedal marked “L” on the right lever,<br />

counter-clockwise (left side thread).<br />

Warn<strong>in</strong>g! If a pedal is attached <strong>in</strong>correctly, it could come off<br />

as the child is rid<strong>in</strong>g the bicycle.<br />

13. PEDAL SYSTEM:<br />

The bicycle can be converted from a tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g bicycle to a<br />

bicycle with pedals simply with the required tools and a<br />

m<strong>in</strong>imum of technical knowledge.<br />

Warn<strong>in</strong>g! If the pedal system and the cha<strong>in</strong> cover are not<br />

attached correctly, the child could fall and be <strong>in</strong>jured.<br />

Once the pedal system is mounted, the saddle cannot be<br />

adjusted to its lowest position.<br />

1. If the saddle is on the lowest position, you should raise it<br />

about 5 cm before mount<strong>in</strong>g the pedals.<br />

2. Prop the <strong>bike</strong> on the handlebar and saddle.<br />

3. Remove the plastic cover.<br />

4. Remove the screws from the base of the brakes.<br />

5. Loosen the nuts and remove the rear wheel from the<br />

bicycle frame.<br />

6. Introduce the pedal system axle <strong>in</strong> the frame support, so<br />

that the cha<strong>in</strong> rema<strong>in</strong>s on the left side.<br />

7. Adjust the pedal system with the nuts and bolts.<br />

Warn<strong>in</strong>g! Tighten the nuts and bolts correctly. The pedal<br />

system should not move at all.<br />

8. Remove the nut and the washer, and unscrew the<br />

protective cover of the rear gear.<br />

9. Place the cha<strong>in</strong> on the cha<strong>in</strong> gear and the rear gear, and<br />

put the rear wheel back on. Do not tighten the nuts yet.<br />

10. The cha<strong>in</strong> cover has two elements. Put the rear element<br />

and the guide between the frame and the oppos<strong>in</strong>g nut<br />

on the axle.<br />

11. Remove the cha<strong>in</strong> cover screw. Place the front element<br />

above the lever, over the cha<strong>in</strong> cover holder, and adjust it<br />

<strong>in</strong> three po<strong>in</strong>ts.<br />

12. Jo<strong>in</strong> the two cha<strong>in</strong> cover elements us<strong>in</strong>g the tabs and<br />

slots until you hear them click <strong>in</strong>to place. Do not force it,<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ce it could damage the cha<strong>in</strong> cover.<br />

13. Put the bicycle on its wheels aga<strong>in</strong> and adjust both cha<strong>in</strong><br />

cover elements with the screw that was removed<br />

previously.<br />

14. Adjust the brake holder back <strong>in</strong> the frame. Do not tighten<br />

the screw yet.<br />

15. Tighten the cha<strong>in</strong> by pull<strong>in</strong>g the rear wheel backwards.<br />

The cha<strong>in</strong> should be able to move about 10 mm up and<br />

down.<br />

16. Tighten the screws and make sure the cha<strong>in</strong> is properly<br />

tense, and that the rear wheel is well centred.<br />

17. Now tighten the screw to attach the brake holder to the<br />

bicycle's frame.<br />

14. BEFORE EACH USE:<br />

– Make sure that the front and rear brakes work correctly.<br />

– Make sure the saddle, handlebar and wheels are<br />

securely <strong>in</strong> place.<br />

– Also check the condition and pressure of the tyres.<br />

15. CARE:<br />

Clean the bicycle regularly with a wet cloth or a sponge.<br />

3. INFORMATION IMPORTANTE :<br />

• Comment vous et l'enfant devez utiliser la bicyclette ?<br />

Lorsque l'enfant dom<strong>in</strong>era le maniement de la bicyclette<br />

dans son mode apprentissage, vous pourrez la<br />

transformer en bicyclette <strong>in</strong>fantile en quelques m<strong>in</strong>utes et<br />

sans connaissances techniques particulières A<strong>in</strong>si,<br />

l'enfant entrera de manière naturelle dans le monde<br />

merveilleux du cyclisme et apprendra à garder l'équilibre.<br />

• Responsabilité des parents ou des tuteurs :<br />

Si la bicyclette est utilisée correctement, il n'y aura<br />

presque pas de danger quand l'enfant jouera avec elle.<br />

Toutefois, n'oubliez pas que la nature espiègle et<br />

joueuse de l'enfant peut produire des situations de<br />

risque imprévisibles. C'est pourquoi il faut montrer à<br />

l'enfant comment utiliser correctement la bicyclette et lui<br />

expliquer les éventuels dangers.<br />
