General instructions
-
Prior to use, make sure that the toy has been assembled properly. Check the GO BIKE before the child rides to determine if there are any potentially hazardous parts or conditions.
-
Children should be supervised by an adult while riding this GO BIKE. Special care should be taken to instruct children in safe riding.
-
Do not use on public highways; examples of safe riding areas include flat, gravel-free surfaces, playgrounds, public squares, parks, etc.
-
Do not use this toy near a staircase, on a slope, on a road or, on a wet surface.
-
As the child becomes faster and more mobile on the GO BIKE, the potential for hazards increases. At home, be sure to remove any breakable frames or mirrors hung too low and any object that could fall in the event of impact. Table corners can also be a danger.
-
Do not allow more than one rider on the GO BIKE at a time.
-
Be sure the child wears clothes and appropriate footwear when using GO BIKE.
-
Be sure the rider keeps both hands on the handlebars for proper control.
-
Do not allow the rider to wear anything that obstructs hearing and visibility or which impairs the functioning of GO BIKE.
-
The toy should be used with caution since skill is required to avoid falls or collisions causing injury to the user or third parties.
-
Always wear safety equipment (helmet, elbow-pads, knee-pads).
Assembling the product (See Page 3-5 in PDF)
The balance bike is packed with the knobs already fixed on the product directly in the box, meaning you will first have to unscrew the knobs to insert the saddle tube and the end cap.
This product can have 2 different installation methods:
- low frame for a younger child.
- high frame with a higher saddle height for an older child
To get a low frame position: (Diagram A)
-
Get the frame with the curve facing downward. (see diagram “A”)
-
Insert the wheel fork into the frame’s stem. Next, add the white plastic gasket and the front reflector on to the wheel fork.
-
Insert the handlebar's stem into the fork’s stem; the minimum insertion depth for the handlebars is where “MIN” is marked on the stem when placing the handlebars into the fork’s stem. This is the highest height of the handlebars.
-
After fixing the handlebars’ height, tighten the screw behind the front reflector with an allen key.
- Important Note: Make sure to tighten the screw into the front reflector to securely fix the handlebars.
- Insert the saddle stem into the saddle tube of the balance bike frame. The minimum insertion depth for the saddle is where "MIN" is marked on the stem when placing it into the frame’s saddle tube. This is the highest height of the saddle. Tighten with the knob to fix the seat height.
- Important Note: Make sure to tighten the knob in order to securely fix the saddle.
- Insert the end cap to the bottom of the saddle tube and tighten the knob. The end cap is included in the spare parts bag to cover the hole underneath. Once the end cap is inserted, tighten it with the knob to securely fix it to the balance bike.
To get a high frame position: (Diagram B)
-
Get the frame with the curve facing upward (see diagram “B”).
-
Follow steps 2 to 6 above to assemble the balance bike in high frame position.
Adjusting the GO BIKE
Adjust the height of the saddle so that your child can easily touch the ground with the complete soles of his or her feet with slightly angled knees. The handlebar should be at a height that allows the arms to be held roughly horizontally. Test whether your child feels comfortable in this position and check the adjustments regularly, and always respect the levels of insertion.
First tries
As soon as your child can pick up the GO BIKE from the ground, he or she is capable of riding it. While you should instruct on safety, there is no need for you to give detailed training on how to ride the GO BIKE; you can simply let the child try and watch what he or she does with it. Children are masters in learning, and you strengthen this capability by allowing them to try themselves. Normally, they find out rather quickly how the device can be moved and steered. Just make sure your child sits on the seat not on the bike frame.
Rolling
Push forward off the ground with the left and right foot in alternation. The more smoothly the feet roll off from heels to toes, the easier and faster your child will go.
Steering
The easiest way to steer the GO BIKE is to turn the wheel and use leaning movements engaging core muscles, like back, abdominal, and gluteus. As soon as your child has understood this knack, he or she will be able to ride around jauntily. The GO BIKE trains a sense of balance, stimulates physical and mental development, strengthens the back, and makes your child’s movements more secure and supportive.
Braking
The GO BIKE can be braked by the feet. The child can stop moving by stopping walking/running. Please take care that your child can always stop from the speed he or she produces on the GO BIKE. The child must always wear appropriate shoes when riding.
Maintenance and security
• Security checks: periodically check the GO BIKE to identify any loose or dislocated element—particularly the wheels, seat, and handlebars.
• Periodic cleaning will help to prolong the life of the product. Wipe the GO BIKE with a dry cloth if it has been soiled.
• Regularly check for any abrasions and avulsions.
• Regularly check that parts are not broken or damaged; if this happens, stop using this product.
• Regular checks can also prevent accidents.
