User Manual
GB ENGLISH
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing this PUKY road bicycle. You have bought a high
quality product. This user manual contains information on operating your bike
safely and maintenance.
If you have questions please contact your specialist dealer or visit our website:

The first trip
You child's first contact with public traffic is a real challenge to your child and
your responsibility to supervise. We recommend not overstraining your child. If
your child has not yet developed a sense of balance by practicing with a scooter,
bike without pedals or toy bike we strongly advise you to observe the following
safety precautions. In all cases practice cycling with your child in a protected
space before moving to a public traffic area.
Avoiding dangers
- Only allow your child to ride in public spaces when you are sure that s/he
can do so safely.
- In order for your child to behave correctly on public streets your child must
understand the most important rules of road traffic.
- Do not demand too much of your child. Other road users, especially cars
unsettle inexperienced, new road users.
Cycling technique
Explain how to use the bike before your child uses it for the first time. S/he
should get to know the various components of the bike while it is stationary. This
applies in particular to using the brakes. Practice braking with your child in a
protected space (e.g. a play street). Braking the front wheel too hard may block
the wheel - and result in a fall. Be careful if the road is wet or covered with
gravel! You should always use cycle paths when they are available - the adults
should be an example in this.
Legal notes:
Your new children's bike meets all the requirements of the German Road Traffic
Authorisation Order (StVZO).
