Using the bike
The permitted weight for the bike (cyclist incl. bike and any luggage) is
max. 50 kg. The permitted load on the rack is independent of its design
(refer to rack mark). However we recommend not using the rack to carry loads on
children's bikes for safety reasons. PUKY bikes are constructed robustly but
jumps, steps and ramps go beyond the proper use.
Cycling helmet and clothing
Ensure that other road users can see your child in good time. Your child should
wear light, conspicuous clothing (preferably with reflective materials). PUKY
recommends wearing a well adjusted cycling helmet that is certified to DIN EN
1078 with the CE mark (refer to PUKY accessories).
First use
Adjust the bike to the height of your child. Set the saddle so that at least the toes
- but preferably the whole balls of the feet - can touch the floor in a balanced
manner. Please ensure that you always adhere to the mark for the minimum
position of the saddle (in the seating tube) when doing so.
Set the handlebars (incl. brake lever and bell) after positioning the saddle so
that the sitting child can reach it easily; also note the marking for the lowest
position of the handlebars when doing so. Before using the bike regularly check
it using the following "Safety checklist".
After adjusting the bike
- Check the setting and effectiveness of the brakes.
- Check that all screws and clamps are fixed firmly.
- When the pedals were installed were the left and right threads applied properly?
(marked R or L near the thread on the pedal axis).
- Check steering and drive for function and freedom of movement.
- Pay particular attention to the ability of the handlebars to move.
- Check that the dynamo works.
- Check gears to see if they work and are set properly.
- Check air pressure (the correct air pressure is on the tyres)
Lighting
- Explain to your child that they should switch the light on early (before dusk).
But not whilst moving!
- To check the front and rear light, switch on the dynamo, lift the rear wheel
and turn the pedals.
- The dynamo may be less effective if it is raining.
