Usage Guidelines - ISLABIKES Rothan Owner's Manual

Usage guidelines

Your Rothan has been designed to be ridden by children away
from motorised vehicles on smooth paved or grassy areas.
Although we test our bikes beyond their intended weight and
usage, the maximum safe combined rider and luggage weight
limits are as follows:
• Rothan 12 = 20Kg
• Rothan 14 = 28Kg
Nothing lasts forever, including your bike. When the useful life of
your bike or its components are over, continued use is hazardous.
Materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in
different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded
it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Every
bike and its components parts have a finite life. The length of that
life will vary with the construction and materials used in the frame
and components. Your bike and its components are subject to
fatigue. With enough use at high enough loads cracks can develop
that could lead to failure. Cracks, scratches or a change of colour
could indicate that the design life of the component has been
reached and it should be replaced. Extra care should be taken
when inspecting parts that are subject to high levels of stress.
Please note your bike is not intended for the following types of riding:
• Dirt jumping
• Downhil
• Slalom
Rothan
• BMX
• Enduro
• Parents having a go...
Factors that can reduce product lifespan include:
Impacts to the bike from crashes, bumps or jumps.
Exceeding the maximum weight limit for the bike.
High mileage/usage.
Environmental conditions (unusually damp/saline(salty)
atmosphere, muddy or sandy conditions).
Poor maintenance and use out of correct adjustment.
Unsympathetic riding style.
Factors that can increase product lifespan include:
Regularly cleaning and maintaining your bike.
No impacts to the bike from crashes, bumps or jumps.
Observing the maximum weight limit for the bike.
Environmental conditions (dry, clean, non-corrosive environment).
Sympathetic riding style.
It is not possible to make a bike that is impervious to damage.
If you crash, damage or use the bike beyond its limitations, there is
a higher risk of failure which could result in serious injury or death.
Bikes that are used competitively should be subject to more frequent
and rigorous checks. Take particular care to check the frame tube
junctions and welds as well as all the components for damage or
excessive wear. If in any doubt, please contact our technical support
team on +44 (0)800 008 6297 or email techsupport@islabikes.co.uk.
Or take it to a qualified cycle mechanic for inspection.
