Using Your Balance Bike
It is important to make bicycle riding fun and safe. Be patient, find a good, safe area to practice and
encourage your child at each step. It is never too early to teach your child about safety and responsibility.
Follow these steps with your child to help them gradually become familiar with the bike:
• Please use a proper fitting helmet
• Allow your child to sit on the Bicycoo as soon as they are comfortable standing and walking
• Practice getting on and off the bike and sitting on the seat with feet flat on the floor (often it is easier
for your child to straddle the bike and use the handlebars to lift the bike from between their legs)
• Also practice keeping hands on the handgrips and turning the front wheel
• Walking on the bike is the first step towards learning to ride. As your child gains confidence, encourage
your child to bounce, roll, walk and scoot on the bike.
• Faster walking, better turns and bigger steps will come soon
• Practice squeezing the handbrake to help stop the Bicycoo. Many children don't use the handbrake
until they are riding and gliding on the bike.
Don't rush your child, just make it fun!
Maintenance
All of the screws, clamps, and other hardware and plastic parts on the balance bike should be inspected
periodically to ensure that they are secured properly and not damaged or malfunctioning. All moving parts,
such as wheels and hinges should also be checked periodically to ensure they are operating properly.
Tires should be inflated to recommended pressure. See tire side wall for correct pressure. DO NOT overinflate
the tires.
Any missing, broken, or worn components should be replaced immediately, and the balance bike should not
be used until they are replaced. Only original manufacturer's components should be used. If needed, please
contact Joovy at our toll-free phone number (877)456-5049.
Color fading may occur if the balance bike is left in direct sunlight for long periods of time. When not in use,
store the balance bike out of direct sunlight.
Cleaning
The plastic and metal material on the balance bike can be cleaned using mild household soap or detergent
and warm water on a sponge or clean cloth. Always allow to completely air dry before using the balance bike.
The frame and wheels should always be kept clean and free of dirt and foreign matter, especially after
operating the balance bike in rain, snow, or other harsh environments. Use a sponge or cloth dampened with
warm water and a mild household soap to clean the wheels after such use.
