Adjusting Seat and Handlebar
Proper adjustment is crucial for comfort and effective learning:
- Seat Height: Adjust the seat so your child can comfortably place both feet flat on the ground with a slight bend in their knees. The seat is adjustable from 26 cm to 32 cm.
- Handlebar Height: Adjust the handlebar so your child can comfortably reach the grips with a slight bend in their elbows. The handlebar is adjustable from 45 cm to 50 cm.

Riding Technique
- Encourage your child to push off the ground with their feet, gliding forward.
- As they gain confidence, they will naturally lift their feet and balance.
- The integrated footrest allows children to rest their feet while gliding.
- The 120° steering limiter helps prevent sharp turns and potential falls, enhancing safety.
