Before riding fast or in more difficult conditions, learn the function and performance of all the mechanisms of your
glider by riding at slower speeds in a flat, empty parking lot. Practice at slow speeds first by walking along while
seated on the bike.
Make sure your Glider fits your child properly.
Make sure there is adequate tube clearance.
Operation
The Mini Glider works by allowing children to learn at their own pace while feeling safe that they are not going to
fall. The bike was designed with a low-center of gravity and slack head angle for better control and balance.
Some children learn very quickly while others may take longer. This depends on age, ability, and other factors. The
Mini Glider will help them achieve the goal of riding a bike as quickly as possible, while providing then with a fun
toy that they will continue to enjoy long after they have learned to ride.
Start using the Glider by sitting on the bike and pushing your feet. The action should be just like walking, one foot
in front of the other and pushing off with each foot. Once you become familiar with the way it works, you can start
walking faster, giving yourself increasingly harder pushes with your feet, until you start to glide along. Once you
start gliding, you can place your feet on the foot pegs.

Because Mini Glider is so effective it is better to let the child learn at their own pace. We recommend not holding or
pushing the child on the bike before they learn to balance because it prevents the learning process from happening.
Warning
A Mini Glider rider may not be visible to others, which can cause a collision resulting in a severe injury. Failure to
avoid all automobile paths will increase your chances of being involved in an accident.
Know and obey all local bicycle riding laws.
Frames or parts under high stress may fatigue prematurely, causing them to fail and increasing the risk to the rider.
The following riding practices increase the risk of injury to you and the risk of damage to your glider:
Hopping or jumping on your glider
Performing stunts
Off-road riding
Any abnormal riding
Maintenance
Before Riding:
