Setup and Assembly
Your BERG Biky balance bike requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps to ensure proper setup:
- Handlebar Installation: Insert the handlebar stem into the fork tube. Ensure it is fully seated and aligned correctly. Tighten the clamping mechanism securely.
- Seat Adjustment: Adjust the seat height so your child can comfortably place both feet flat on the ground with a slight bend in their knees. This allows for proper pushing and balancing. Secure the seat post clamp firmly.
- Steering Lock Adjustment: The BERG Biky features an adjustable steering lock. This can be set to a 'Safe Mode' for beginners, limiting the steering angle for added stability, or 'Skilled Mode' for more experienced riders, allowing a wider steering range. Adjust according to your child's skill level.
- Pre-Ride Check: Before each ride, ensure all bolts and clamps are tight, and the wheels spin freely.

Operating Instructions
The BERG Biky balance bike is designed for intuitive learning. Encourage your child to:
- Walk and Glide: Start by walking with the bike between their legs, then encourage them to push off with their feet and glide. This builds confidence and balance.
- Steering: Teach your child to steer by looking where they want to go and gently turning the handlebars. The adjustable steering lock can assist in the initial stages.
- Braking: The bike features a linear pull brake. Instruct your child on how to use the handbrake for controlled stopping. For younger children, stopping with their feet is also a natural method.
- Safety First: Always ensure your child wears a helmet and appropriate protective gear. Supervise children during use, especially in new environments.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your BERG Biky balance bike:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and components with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
- Tires: The EVA foam tires are puncture-proof and do not require inflation. Keep them free of debris for smooth rolling.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and clamps to ensure they are securely tightened. Loose components can affect performance and safety.
- Storage: Store the bike in a dry, sheltered area to prevent rust and material degradation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BERG Biky, refer to these common solutions:
- Loose Handlebars/Seat: If the handlebars or seat feel wobbly, ensure the respective clamps are tightened firmly. Refer to the 'Setup and Assembly' section.
- Steering Difficulty: Check the steering lock setting. If it's in 'Safe Mode', it will limit the steering range. Adjust to 'Skilled Mode' if your child requires more maneuverability.
- Unusual Noises: Inspect all moving parts for any obstructions or loose components. Ensure wheels are free of debris.
- Brake Not Engaging: Check the brake cable tension and ensure the brake pads are properly aligned with the wheel rim. Adjust as needed.
