6. Learning bike with brake YES/NO?
Due to their motive abilities children starting to learn to ride the learning bike at
the age of approx. 2.5 years are not able to stop such a vehicle by
themselves with the handbrake. There is a risk that supervising persons may
be persuaded in believing in a „non-existing safety" and therefore do not pay
enough attention to the learner, because the bike is fitted with a brake (see
warning notes).
Observations reveal that driving the learning bike gives children great fun for a
long time. For this group of advanced learners it makes sense to fit one model
with a brake system suitable for children. But these young riders still need the
attention of grown ups.
For some models the brake system can be retrofitted as a „spare parts kit" by
the specialist dealers.
7. Care and maintenance
Pay special attention that the handlebar and the saddle are secure
and cannot be rotated! Check the tire pressure at regular intervals (the
prescribed pressure is indicated on the sides of the tires). Damaged or
deformed parts must not be repaired, but must be replaced immediately.
Original spare parts can be obtained via your Puky dealer.
Wear parts: Tires (incl. inner tubes), handlebar grips, brake
Good cleaning keeps corrosion away (rust protection). Only use
environmentally friendly products and never use any aggressive detergents.
Protect the bike against thawing salt and avoid long-term storage in damp
rooms (e.g. garage)
As with car tires there is a risk of local decolouration or staining of the natural
rubber when the bike rests on its wheels in the same position for a long time.
Take the necessary precautions to avoid this.
Warning! Valve caps need to befirmly tightened and kept away from
childrens' reach (danger of swallow up).
8. Liability
Legal liability applies to this bike. Damage or loss as a result of misuse, abuse,
insufficient maintenance or wear and tear are not covered by our legal liability.
