5.1 Adjusting Seat and Handlebar Height

Proper adjustment of the seat and handlebar is crucial for comfort and effective learning.

• Seat Height: The child should be able to place both feet flat on the ground with a slight bend in their knees when seated. The seat is adjustable from 26 cm to 32 cm.
• Handlebar Height: The handlebar should be at a comfortable height, allowing the child to maintain an upright posture with a slight bend in their elbows. The handlebar is adjustable from 45 cm to 50 cm.

5.2 Learning to Ride

The balance bike teaches children to balance and steer before introducing pedals.

1. Walking: Encourage the child to walk with the bike between their legs, pushing off the ground with their feet.
2. Gliding: As they gain confidence, encourage them to push off and lift their feet, gliding for short distances.
3. Steering: Teach them to steer by gently turning the handlebars. The bike features a 120° steering limiter to prevent sharp turns and falls.
4. Stopping: Children will naturally stop by placing their feet on the ground.
