5. Operating Instructions

The Super Velio balance bike is designed for intuitive use, allowing children to learn balance naturally.

5.1 Getting Started

• Place the child on the seat, ensuring their feet can comfortably touch the ground.
• Encourage the child to push off the ground with their feet, similar to walking or running.
• Guide them to steer by turning the handlebars.

5.2 Developing Balance

The primary goal of a balance bike is to teach balance. As the child gains confidence, they will naturally lift their feet off the ground and glide. This process builds core strength and coordination.

5.3 Stopping

Children will naturally stop by placing their feet on the ground. Teach them to slow down by dragging their feet before coming to a complete stop.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the bike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly.
• Storage: Store the bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
• Wheel Check: Periodically check the wheels for any debris or damage. Ensure they rotate smoothly.
