Operating Instructions
Braking System
Your WEIZE Kids Bike features a dual braking system for enhanced safety:
- Steel Front Hand Brake: Located on the handlebar, this brake is operated by squeezing the lever.
- Pedal Backwards Brake (Coaster Brake): To engage this brake, pedal backward. This is particularly useful for younger riders or those with less hand strength.
