immediately at your local SCOTT dealer Never try to repair bent parts, they might
fail and cause an accident!

In the beginning the seat height should be adjusted in that way that your child, when
sitting on the saddle, can reach the ground with both feet When more experienced
the saddle can be raised up into perfect riding position
IMPORTANT!
Never exceed the seatpost and stem over the marked area Otherwise the
connection can get loosen and can cause in worst case a crash
Please check that your child can reach easily the handle bar and use brake‑ and
shifting levers as well as the bell
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
The traffic laws demand that one checks all functions that concern safety Check
every brake when starting to ride Also check the function of front and rear light and
check the air pressure of the tyres
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the brake works perfectly

prolongation of the braking distance

dynamo press with the thumb on the button But never while riding! To check the
function of front and rear light turn the raised front wheel
