KIDS BIKE
Legal advice
Your new Kids bike meets, (as complete equipped
model), all demands of the traffic law standards and is
allowed to be used in public streets.
It is obligatory that your child has reached the age of 8
years otherwise he/she should use the sidewalk, which
is legal up to 10 years of age. Please check your natio-
nal laws regarding this point!
Use of the bikes
Maximum load of the bike must not exceed 50 kg.
The carrier ( when supplied with the bike) is made for a
maximum load of 20 kg.
In general we recommend not to use the carrier on kids
bikes for load transports due to the reduced riding per-
formance.
SCOTT kids bikes are built to be very robust, jumps or
riding on stairways however exceed normal use.
Safety
When producing your SCOTT kids bike we only spec'd
parts of high quality and which offer safety under all
riding situations. This is very important when participa-
ting in public traffic.
You will reach a maximum of safety by avoiding any
dangerous situations.
> make sure that your child is well experienced in
cycling when riding in public traffic. Please be remin-
ded that your child needs some time to get used to
his/her new bike. In addition children are allowed to
ride on the sidewalk up to an age of 10 years.
> To react in the right way on public streets it is im-
portant for your child to know about the traffic laws.
> Do not stress your child. It might happen that other
participants in traffic, especially cars, will make feel
him/her unsure. Please have some lessons on how to
ride in a parking ground before participating in traffic.
Brakes
> Your new bike is equipped with two brakes which
work independently of each other.
> In case you can pull the brakelever more than half of
its way to the handlebar, you should readjust the
brake.
> Under wet conditions the brake performance can
decrease which will result in a prolongation of the
braking distance.
