Assembling the product (See page 3-5)
-
Insert the wheel fork into the frame's stem. Next, add the metal clamp on top of the front wheel fork.
-
Insert the handlebars' 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 metal clamp.
Make sure to tighten the metal clamp, 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 metal clamp to fix the seat height.
Make sure to tighten the clamp in order to securely fix the saddle.
Adjusting the GO BIKE 12"
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 12" from the ground, it is capable of riding it too. There is no need for long explanations, just let the child try and watch what he or she does with it. Children are masters in learning, and you strengthen this capability by letting them try themselves. Normally, they find out rather quickly how the device can be moved and steered. Make sure your child sits on the seat not on the bike frame.
Rolling
Push forward off the ground with left and right foot in alternation. The more smoothly the feet roll off from toes to heel, the easier and faster your child will go.
Steering
The easiest way to steer the GO BIKE 12" is with back and bum. As soon as your child has understood this knack, he or she will drive around with it as jauntily as with any other vehicle, too. With the subtle distinction that this GO BIKE 12" trains sense of balance, stimulates the physical and mental development, strengthens the back and makes your child like movements all in all more secure and sportive.
Braking
The GO BIKE 12" can be braked with the feet. The child can stop moving by stopping walking/running. Please take care that your child can always stop from the speed it produces and wears appropriate shoes.
