Owner's Manual
Congratulations, you have purchased a Kickbike. You now own a very stylish and efficient
high-quality scooter for fitness training and everyday use. You are taking care both of
yourself and the environment. Take all the fun out of it!
The Kickbike has been designed in Finland as an athletic fitness tool. It has been made of
carefully selected components to best serve its users down to the smallest detail.
High-quality parts and production make the Kickbike durable and easy-rolling. However,
like all technical equipment, the Kickbike requires proper attention in order to make its
ownership a pleasure.
Hence, in this Kickbike Owner's Manual there are detailed instructions for the service and
use of the Kickbike. Only a properly maintained Kickbike gives the gentle easy-rolling
delight that it is famous for.
Before you hit the streets with your new Kickbike, take a couple of minutes to read this
manual. When you handle and maintain your Kickbike with care, it gives you kicking
pleasure for years to come. When you learn the right kicking technique, even a short trip
increases your fitness.
If you are not able to master a maintenance task, let the local bike dealer do it for you. If
you feel that you haven't mastered the kicking technique, ask for advice from more
experienced Kickbikers. If you don't know anybody, you can contact us at Kickbike
Worldwide and we'll try to put you in touch with another Kickbiker near you.
Wishing you Kick in your life.

First tighten the bearing cup and lock ring as tight as you can without using tools. Then tighten them against each other with 32 mm wrenches. If you are an inexperienced Kickbike mechanic then it is may be easier to let a bike shop do the job for you. -

4 bar (60 PSI). When you press the tyre with your thumb, a correctly filled tyre should yield only by a few millimeters. Replacing the Wheel The front wheel of your Kickbike is the most common 28-inch bicycle size. You can obtain replacement front wheels directly from Kickbike Worldwide or from any Bike Shop. -
Page 7: Brakes
The brake pads must be centered symmetrically at the same distance from the rim. The side-pull brakes of the Kickbike are self-centering. In the event that the brake bolt is too tight, you can manually set the brake pads to the right position. If side- pull brakes make a squeaky noise while braking, twist the brake calipers gently so that the anterior ends of the brake pads move slightly closer to the rim. -
Page 8: Mudguards
Mudguards Mudguards Your Kickbike comes with extremely strong plastic mudguards. The rear mudguard should always be mounted as it is quite necessary on wet roads and comes with a rear reflector for safety. However, the frame pipe provides shelter from most splatters coming from the front tyre, so a mudguard at the front is not absolutely necessary. -

If the wheel does not fit in its place because the brake pads are too close, then let some air pressure out of the tyre. You can open the V-brakes of Kickbike Sports Classic (model 1999) while mounting the wheel. -

Lock It is easy to carry a Kickbike, so it has to be locked to something sturdy in order to effectively deter a thief. Locking the front rim to the frame does, though, prevent a curious trial and the consequent "borrowing"... -

Your Kickbike has an individual serial number located on the rear of the footboard that you can note down and put in a safe location at home. You can also engrave your own safety insignia onto your Kickbike. A good location is in the v-shaped slot below the rear part of the frame. -

Kicking ABC Kicking ABC Although it is easy to ride a Kickbike, it is worthwhile keeping certain basic guidelines in mind when taking your first kicks. Correct technique saves energy and enables you to achieve your best possible speed. Take long kicks, let it roll. On flat terrain long kicks are more efficient than short fast ones. -
Page 13: Uphill
It is easiest to stand on the footboard with both feet pointing slightly aside to the same direction. At the end of the descent let your Kickbike roll while the velocity decreases to your normal kicking speed. A beginner often starts kicking while the speed is still too high and touching the ground only slows the journey. -

Walking your Kickbike A short and narrow rear makes the Kickbike much easier to walk than a bike. When walking your Kickbike you can hold it on the stem. This leaves your other hand free.
