Learning bike Loopfiets
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.
Care and maintenance
Pay special attention that the han-
dlebar 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), handle-
bar grips, brake
Good cleaning keeps corrosion away (rust
protection). Only use environmentally friendly
products and never use any aggressive deter-
gents. 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 neces-
sary precautions to avoid this.
Warning! Valve caps need to befirmly
tightened and kept away from child-
rens' reach (danger of swallow up).
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.
