GET READY FOR YOUR FIRST RIDE & EVERY RIDE
INTENDED USE
The Urban 20 is a child’s bike. As such, it is not indended for
use by an adult. An adults weight on the bike could result in
damage to parts on the bike including, but not exclusive to,
the frame, forks, cranks and wheel set.
Although we test our bikes beyond their intended usage
and weight, the maximum safe combined weight for rider +
luggage is 40kg.
The U20FBR & U20 are designed to be ridden on paved
cycle paths with gentle gradients, where the wheels remain
in constant contact with the ground. They are not suitable for
use on rough terrain.
Avoid riding by any busy streets or highways and always
observe possible national legal requirements if riding on
public roads.
IMPORtant stuff
safety first
Your Early Rider bike is uniquely designed to be low maintenance but it will still benefit from care and attention.
CLEANING
Cleaning your bike regularly means you are more likely
to notice any loose or worn components and possible
frame damage. A clean, well lubricated bike will also run
more smoothly.
We recommend using a bicycle or car shampoo, a sponge
and a brush. Wash, rinse and dry before lubricating it.
DO NOT JET WASH
as this may damage your bike’s
cartridge bearings.

LUBRICANTS
After cleaning your bike, it is advisable to spray with a water
dispersant, let it dry and then lubricate moving parts.
The drivetrain and gear cables will benefit from regular
lubrication with a suitable bicycle specific lubricant.

Although the bike uses Stainless Steel hardware - a small squirt of
a water dispersant on all bolt heads will help stop corrosion and
keep the bolts looking like new.
