Any fall, accident or other external forces may cause damage of bicycle components that are
important for safety. This may lead to dangerous situations during the ride, accidents and
material damage. Do not use your bicycle after a fall, accident or if it has been affected by
external forces. Contact your service workshop immediately after a fall or accident. Use your
bicycle only when it has been properly repaired by the service workshop.
A bike that is leaning against a house wall or garden fence may fall over when subjected to even
small force. This may cause injury to people and animals and damage other objects.
Park your bicycle only where it does not represent an obstacle or nuisance to other people and
where it will not damage other objects. Keep children and animals away from your parked
bicycle. Do not park your bicycle next to items that may be easily damaged, such as cars and
other similar items.
In the case of transporting the bicycles with the use of bicycle racks, the bicycle parts may be
damaged. The damage of these parts may lead to dangerous situations during the ride, accidents
and material damage. Transport this bicycle only inside other vehicles. Secure the bicycle, e.g.
with the use of tension belts, to prevent slipping. Protect your bicycle, e.g. by covering it, against
damage from sharp edges and other objects. No other items may be placed on the bicycle during
its transport. The bicycle must not be clamped into the car transport system (roof racks, rear and
interior carrying devices, etc.).
The frame strength has been tested for the rider of up to 80 kg, however using the bicycle by the

Where can you ride a bicycle
If you overload your bicycle riding on the streets, roads and paths for which your bicycle is not suited, it
is possible that parts of your bicycle may break or fail. This may lead to dangerous situations during the
ride, falls and accidents. The Polka Bikes bicycles may be used only on the asphalt-covered roads, roads
for bicycles, roads for bicycles and pedestrians and other paved surfaces.
Polka Bikes Sp. z o.o. does not recommend performing jumps on the Polka Bikes bicycles and does not
guarantee the proper functioning of the bicycles during such performance and in the future.
Your safety on the roads, streets and terrain depends on your speed. The higher your speed, the greater
your risk!
Remember that all roads and streets may be damaged or have obstacles that can threaten your safety or
damage your bicycle. In such terrain ride particularly slowly and carefully. If necessary carry or push your
bicycle over such obstacles. Use your bicycle exclusively as a means of travel.
There is a danger of falling if you ride the bicycle in a sporty manner and at a high speed. Adapt the use
of your bicycle to your riding skills.
