Safety first
Before you head off please read our advice for safe scooting. If you are
the responsible adult, parent or guardian we recommend the following
precautions.
Ensure that a helmet is adjusted correctly in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Ensure your child is wearing sturdy footwear.
Ensure that your child familiarises themselves with their new
bicycle in a safe environment.
We pride ourselves on light action brakes. Check your child can
come to a stop safely using the brakes. Walk beside them and
assist them in pulling the brake to allow them to feel its
responsiveness.
Your Islabike is set up so the left brake operates the rear.
Be aware braking performance and grip will be drastically reduced
in wet conditions.
Avoid scooting by any busy streets or highways.
Rothan
Always observe national legal requirements if riding on public
roads. We don't recommend your child riding at night. If you
are cycling in any other countries or in the EU, please check
national guidelines.
Tumbles are an inevitable part of riding a bike and sometimes the
bike can get damaged. It is very important that a bike is inspected
if an accident occurs. Here are some things to look out for:
1. Handlebar ends becoming exposed from repeated contact with
the ground or heavy fall. Never let a child ride a bike with an
unplugged handlebar end.
2. Rear brake damage can occur in a crash or thorough wear and
tear. Please regularly check that the rear brake cable is securely
fastened with the supplied ties to ensure they do not spring
loose and scratch your child's legs.
