LIGHTING OF YOUR SCOTT BIKE
For riding on public roads a functioning lighting set is obligatory (see the chap-
ter “Legal requirements for riding on public roads”).
You should be familiar with the assembly of the lighting set so that you can
repair possible failures yourself.
DYNAMO-OPERATED LIGHTING SYSTEM
Rear light and front lamp are powered by the generator (also referred to as dy-
namo). They are connected with two cables each to the generator
(d)
. In some
cases the front lamp and the rear light are wired with only one cable each the
frame being in this case the return line.
REAR LIGHTING
One or more LEDs beam through a (red) diffusion disc rearwards and are visible
at best even from the side. Nowadays, most rear lights
(e)
provide a stand light
function that is powered by a capacitor or a battery when the SCOTT bike has
to stop at traffic lights, for example.
FRONT LIGHTING
Todays illuminants are LEDs (“light emitting diodes”) beaming white light by
means of state-of-the-arts mirror optics and/or a diffusion disc on the road lane.
Some models are fitted with a sensor that switches on the front lamp
(f)
auto-
matically when it gets dark; the dynamo must, however be activated. An addi-
tional feature of particularly high-quality front lamps is a stand light function or
even daytime running lights (both with LEDs).
Special attention should be paid to the adjustment of the control elements, such
as brake levers. Easy reach and operation should be ensured for the child
(a)
.
For more information on how to perform the adjustments of the SCOTT kids’
bike to the proportions and needs of your child, read the chapter ”Adjusting
the SCOTT bike to the rider”. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your SCOTT dealer.
Get into the habit of doing the checks as described in the chapter “Tests before
every ride“ together with your child. In this way, your child will learn to handle
the SCOTT kids’ bike properly and you will be able to detect any defects that
have developed during use.
Encourage your child to tell you, if anything should not be working properly on
his/her SCOTT kids’ bike. Rectify the fault immediately or take the SCOTT kids’
bike to your SCOTT dealer for repair.
CAUTION!
A
Children and adolescents need to have the saddle height and the position
of saddle
(b)
and handlebars
(c)
checked at least every 3 months!
CAUTION!
A
SCOTT recommends not using training wheels. Only buy training wheels, if
at all, that have been certified, for example, according to DIN/GS.
NOTE!
I
If you wish to install training wheels, ask your SCOTT dealer about suitable
models. Read the mounting instructions of the supplier and ask, if neces-
sary, your SCOTT dealer for further information.
NOTE!
I
The training wheels are only an unsatisfactory riding aid for very small
children and should be removed as soon as possible to train the sense of
balance of your child.
