SEttING UP YOUR BELTER

 

CHECK YOUR BRAKES   

 

(U20 & U20FBR)

 

You can adjust the reach to the lever using  

 

the allen head screw as shown in the picture  

to find the perfect reach for your child’s hands.

Squeeze the brakes before setting o

ff

 on a ride. It’s easy to 

forget to reconnect brake cables after transporting the bike 
or repairing a puncture. Ensure the brake blocks are not 
worn and contact the rim uniformly when the brake lever is 
pulled. If in doubt, ask your dealer. 

Your bike is equipped with two short reach, high  
performance brakes. Encourage your child to pull the 
brake lever smoothly and gradually. Remember that braking 
will throw the rider’s weight forward and so when the brakes 
are applied, extend or tense the arms to resist this motion. 
Regularly inspect the brakes for adjustment and wear.  
A worn or loose brake pad won’t work well and may be  
more dangerous than no brake pads at all.

U20 & U20FBR

Your bike is set up so the right hand brake lever operates the front 
brake. If the destination country drive on the right, the right hand 
brake will operate the rear brake. Please check before the first 
ride.

GEARS

Shift gears by turning the rotating grip.
You can shift while standing still or while riding 
your bicycle. When approaching inclines shift 
down in good time. The smoothest and fastest 

gear change happens when changing gears while pedaling 
with low force.
