Use bolts (B) to align brake pads (E) with rims (D). Squeeze brake levers to verify that brake pads (E) contact the rims (D) correctly (see Fig. 10.1). Use screws (C) to center the brake (equalize the clearance from rim to both brake pads). In model R ace MAX 28 c enter the brake by moving whole brake frame by hand. If you have small hands, use adjustment screw (Fig. 12 - A) to get brake levers closer to the handlebar. Use fine adjustment screw (Fig. 12 - B, Fig 11 - F) to get brake pads closer to rims if needed. Test that the brakes work. ... - Page 6 Footboard height adjustment All Kickbike models have an option to choose low or high ride position. Low position (Fig. 14 A) is easier to kick as in the high position (Fig. 14 B) the frame has more ground clearance for safety. C hanging footboard height requires some adjustments! Follow instructions at this page to change the position. Default position in models R ace, Cruise is low (A) and in C ross, Sport G4, City G4, CliX, Freeride, FAT MAX h igh (B) note: Clix will stand upright in folded state only when footboard is in high position. Changing the footboard height Remove the rear wheel (inverse phases page 4) Change the rear mudguard position if needed.

Page 8: Fold & Unfold Clix
Fold & unfold CliX CliX folds in two steps. First fold the frame (fig. 17) Loosen the safety screw (fig. 17 screw 1) Open the CliX frame joint latch. This can be operated with foot (handy if it’s dirty or wet) Fold the frame. Then fold the handlebars (fig. 18). Push up the lock button (fig. 18.1 button 1) Open the latch all the way down (fig. 18.1 latch 2) Fold down the handlebars Carry CliX using the handle at the front of the frame. Handle is balanced so that CliX will stay folded by gravity without any locking mechanisms. This makes folding and unfolding as easy as possible. To unfold CliX, reverse these steps. Unfold the handlebars. Ensure that the quick release (fig. 18.1 latch 2) is fully closed. You should hear a ‘click’ when it locks. Then unfold the frame (fig. 17) and close the CliX frame joint latch. Although CliX is rideable with the safety screw loose (fig. 17.1 screw 1), we recommend tightening it for your safety. Always check that all joints are solidly locked before riding CliX. CliXstand You can lean the CliX on a wall, fence, tree etc. when you lock the head set by turning the CliXstand ring counterclockwise to locked position (Fig. 19). Kickbike owner’s manual - 8 ... -
Page 9: Maintenance
Maintenance Even though the Kickbike is mostly a maintenance free transportation, it is recommended to perform a thorough inspection for loose bolts and spokes after first few hours of riding and also check the tire pressures and tightness of the screws and bolts of your Kickbike once in awhile. Also make sure that all the parts are in good condition. We recommend to take your Kickbike at least once in a year to an expert to get maintained. Warnings Shoelaces We recommend that you tie the shoelaces short and tuck the ends under laces to prevent them from catching brakes, quick release levers or other Kickbike parts while kicking. Curbs The Kickbike footboard is low because it makes kicking easier. It will touch high curbs and speed bumps. Ride safe and slow initially, to get familiar to what kind of obstacles are rideable. If you are not sure whether the footboard will clear a bump, walk it over. Helmet R emember to always use a helmet that fits you well and is an approved bicycle safety helmet. Keep hands in handlebar Do not attempt to ride one handed. Use your leg instead if you need to signal a turn. Warranty We want to make sure that you are happy with our product. The Kickbike Worldwide warranty is 2 years for the frame and one year for other parts. Warranty does not include the normal wear and tear of brake pads, brake cables and tyres. The warranty does not cover problems, which are caused by the lack of maintenance by the user, improper usage of other than standard spare parts for the Kickbike, incorrect methods of maintenance or damages which are caused by normal usage of the Kickbike. The warranty does not cover small unnecessary damages where the strength and usefulness of the Kickbike is not affected. These damages include such as slight uneven paint/varnish/chrome coverage that are caused by the changing weather or/and the normal usage of the Kickbike. The warranty does not cover damages that have been caused by improper usage of the Kickbike, like jumping. Tips Take long “kicks” and enjoy smooth rolling of the Kickbike. It is important to straighten and relax the standing leg after every kick. Switch the kicking leg every 4-10 kicks so you can go on forever! Kick with your toes only - heel does not touch the ground. Almost any outfit and shoes are good but avoid high heels and clothes that might catch moving parts while kicking. What is OK for running is OK for kicking. ... - Page 10 Kickbike owner’s manual - 10 ...
