Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of this MINI learner bike. You have acquired
a quality product, which is certain to bring you great joy.
This manual contains information on the safe use of your leaner bike and its care.
Please read the manual carefully prior to use and keep it in a secure place for
future reference. Failure to observe the information contained in this manual
may impair the safety of your child. Should you have any questions, please contact
your dealer or contact us via our website: shop.mini.com.
Parents' responsibility
Supervise and make your child aware of any potential hazards. The learner
bike must be used with caution. A certain degree of skill is required to avoid
falls or crashes, which may cause damage to the bike or injury to the rider or
other persons. Please also take into consideration that unforeseen situations
and hazards may occur as a result of the natural need for movement and
temperament of young children and adolescents for which the manufacturer
cannot be held liable.
Persons riding the bike must wear closed footwear. PUKY recommends wearing
a safety helmet (see PUKY Accessories).
The learner bike may not be used in the vicinity of stairs, downhill slopes, steep
terrain, swimming pools or other bodies of water.
Stairs in the vicinity must be secured to prevent children from riding up or
down them on their bikes.
Usage
This bike may only be used on suitable playgrounds and in safe areas. Despite
its sporty design (appearance and technology), the bike is not suitable for use
on rugged terrain or for jumps. It is necessary to wear closed shoes. The vehicle
must not be driven in the vicinity of stairs, slopes, steep terrain, swimming
pools, or other bodies of water. Stairs in the vicinity must be secured to prevent
children from riding up or down them on the vehicle. The vehicle must only be
used in a suitable, safe play area, in a sheltered environment. It should only be
used on even, barrier-free surfaces!
Attention: This vehicle does not comply with the requirements of German Road
Traffic Regulations (StVZO) and may not be used on public roads. The permitted
total load is a maximum of 25 kg. This toy vehicle may have sharp edges.
The bike must be adjusted to the size of the child. Adjust the saddle so that the
soles of the child's feet still touch the ground when the child's legs are slightly
bent while riding (please also take compression of the springs into account!).
Adjust the handlebar so that the child is seated as upright as possible and is able
to optimally see its surroundings.
Please observe the marking of the minimum insertion depth of the saddle
post (min. 65 mm).
Statutory warranty covers defects. Damage resulting from improper use, use
of force, lack of maintenance, or normal wear and tear, is excluded from such a
statutory defect warranty.
Learner bike with a brake – yes or no?
The motor skills of children learning to ride the learner bike at about the age of
6
bmw_mini_lrlight_bda_210x148.indd 6
bmw_mini_lrlight_bda_210x148.indd 6
2.5 years are not yet sufficiently developed to independently use the handbrakes
and to bring their bike to a standstill on their own. The brakes on the bike tend
to give supervising adults a „false sense of security", resulting in their paying
less attention to the learning child. Observations have shown that older children
also very much enjoy riding learner bikes. For this advanced target group, we
recommend a model equipped with special child-appropriate brakes. These young
riders, however, still require the supervision of an adult.
CE marking
This product complies with the European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and
therefore bears the CE mark.
Identification plate
The identification plate is located in the centre underneath the bike. Please
record the information on the identification plate in the cycle passport at the
end of this manual so that you have all the information you need in the event of
any questions or when ordering spare parts.
Maintenance and care
Examine the vehicle at regular intervals for any wear, and to check that the
screws are still properly tightened. Self-tightening nuts are hard to loosen and
must be replaced after complete disassembly!
In order to maintain the high, design-specified safety levels, all worn or defective
parts are to be immediately replaced by original PUKY spare parts. For safety
reasons, the vehicle should not be used until it has been fully repaired. Bent or
deformed parts should not be repaired but instead should be replaced.
Check the air pressure of the tyres regularly (the prescribed pressure is indicated
on the sides of the tyres). You can purchase genuine spare parts from your PUKY
dealer or at the PUKY spare parts shop at www.puky.de
Spare parts: Tyres (incl. inner tubes), brakes, elastomer (LR Ride)
The vehicle must not be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner. Clean the tricycle
using a mild soapy solution and carefully wipe dry using a soft cloth. Keep the
vehicle away from corrosion-promoting materials (road salt, sea water, fertiliser).
The vehicle must not be stored in damp conditions.
Similar to car tyres, the vulcanised natural rubber that the tyres are made of may
cause discolouration to surfaces with which they come into contact. Therefore
please provide adequate protection between the floor and the tyres.
Unpacking and scope of delivery
