Each Bemoov bike is adapted to the weight of the child
of the age corresponding to the model. Please respect
the authorized weight limit:
BEMOOV M14: maximum 35 kg
BEMOOV M16: maximum 40 kg
•
Your Bemoov bicycle has been designed to be used on
paved and semi-paved terrain and on smooth gravel or
tarmac. It is not designed for stunts, jumps or any other
extreme discipline (BMX, DIRT, DH, Slalom, Enduro…).
If your child uses their bike beyond its limits, there is a
real risk of failure that could lead to serious injury.
•
Always comply with national legal requirements for road
traffic or forest traffic. Explain these rules to your child
before he/she sets out on a road or path.
•
If your child rides on the road, make sure that the
bicycle and the cyclist comply with the highway code of
your country: reflectors, lighting, bell, helmet, etc.
•
Avoid riding on roads heavily used by car traffic.
•
Make sure your child always wears a suitable helmet
when riding a bike.
•
Make sure the helmet is properly fitted according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Make sure your child wears protective clothing.
•
Make sure your child wears sturdy, non-slip shoes.
Check that nothing can get tangled in the pedals or
transmission.
Never ride barefoot
•
Make sure your child can get to know the new bike in a
safe environment under your control.
•
Make sure your child understands how the brakes on their
bike work. Check if it can stop at all times and safely by using
the brake levers.
•
Avoid allowing your child to ride in wet weather and on
slippery ground. Be aware that braking and tire grip
performance will be significantly reduced in these
conditions.
•
Please ensure that children are aware that bicycles have
moving parts and that they cannot touch them when they
are in motion. Spokes, tires, chain, gears and other
moving parts can cause serious injury if contacted during
movement. This risk exists even if the bicycle is not in
motion.
•
Please ensure that your child does not carry passengers
on his/her Bemoov.
•
Crashes are sometimes unavoidable when riding a
bicycle. As the bicycle is made up of sharp and hard
metal objects, these crashes can cause injury. After a
fall, first check if the child is okay. Then check the general
condition of the bike and its components before the child
can get back on the bike. If in doubt, please contact our
technical support team via our website www.bemoov-
bikes.be or go to a bicycle shop for a professional
inspection.
•
Riding with reflectors can increase your child’s visibility
to other road users. Reflectors are designed to catch
and reflect car headlights and other artificial lights to
make the bike more visible. Reflectors do not replace
lights. If your child rides at night, the bike must be
equipped with a front and rear lighting system.
WARNING: Riding after dark without lights or reflectors
is extremely dangerous. Please check your relevant
national legal road requirements.
•
Never ride a bike with earphones on.
It is important for the rider to be able to hear what is
happening in the immediate environment (cars, bells,
horns, etc.). Additionally, headphone wires can become
entangled in moving parts of the bike and pose a hazard.
