Safety First - ISLABIKES Rothan Owner's Manual

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:
Supervising your child's use of Rothan as they develop the skills
required to scoot independently. This is to avoid falls or collisions
causing injury to your child or other third parties.
Avoid scooting by any busy streets, roads, highways or other
external hazards to prevent serious injury if your child loses control.
Ensure that a helmet is worn and 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 by pulling the brake lever towards the handlebar.
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.
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:
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. You can buy replacement
handlebar grips on our website www.islabikes.co.uk
or call +44 (0)800 008 6297.
Front brake damage can occur in a crash. If the handlebars become
twisted from a crash the cable can wrap itself tightly and damage
the noodle hinge dock. This has been reinforced on our bikes but
they are not indestructible. Always check the front brake operates
correctly and the brake hinges were not damaged after a crash.
You can easily perform a visual inspection by comparing to the rear
brake. You are unsure please contact our technical support team on
+44 (0)800 008 6297 or email techsupport@islabikes.co.uk.
