1. Introduction
Congratulations on buying this PUKY chil­
dren's bike. You have selected a high­quality
product which is guaranteed to bring a lot of
fun. This user manual outlines the safe use
and maintenance of your new bike. If you have
any questions or problems you can always
contact your dealer or consult our web site:
www.puky.de.
2. Parents' responsibility
If children play with the bike in accord­
ance with the instructions, there is
hardly any risk. However, children's characters
and their natural need of movement can cause
unpredictable situations and dangers for which
the manufacturer cannot be held liable. There­
fore children must be instructed on how to use
the bike correctly. Parents must supervise
them and point out any dangers to them.
3. Warning
This children's bike is not suited for
use in a sportive way (e.g. jumping).
Suitable clothing and closed shoes must be
worn when riding the bike. PUKY recommends
the use of a biker's safety helmet (see PUKY
accessories). When using the bike, children
must not ride it near stairs, steps, hills, steep
slopes, swimming pools or other areas of wa­
ter. If there are any steps or stairs in the area
they must be screened off so that children
cannot ride up or down them on their bikes.
This vehicle should not be used on public
roads (see point 6).
User Manual
4. First use
Adjust the bike to the child's size. The
saddle must be adjusted so that at
least the tip of the foot, but preferably the en­
tire ball of the foot reaches the ground, so that
the child can keep its balance when the bike is
standing still. The mark for the minimum seat
post insertion depth must be observed at all
times. Secure the handlebar (incl. the hand­
brake and the bell) observing the minimum
handlebar stem insertion depth after adjusting
the saddle height, so that the child can easily
reach the handlebar while sitting on the bike.
Check the bike prior to its first use by means of
the safety checklist below.
While assembling the pedals pay attention to
the right­hand or left­hand screw­thread
(marked by R or L on the pedal shaft near the
screw­thread).
Note!
If necessary the stabilizers (a basic aid
to help the child balance the bike) must
be mounted on the rear wheel, and secured.
The stabilizers must only be used until the
child can ride the bike safely since they may
exert uncontrollable forces on the frame as the
child's cycling experience increases.
