CONGRATULATIONS
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
SAFETY
Congratulations on your purchase of a new SCOTT bicycle! We are confident that the
bicycle will exceed your expectations for value, performance, and ride quality. Each
frame set and component has been custom specified and designed to enhance your
riding experience. Whether you are a beginning cyclist, or a seasoned pro, SCOTT
bicycles will provide endless hours of two-wheeled fun.
We strongly encourage you to take the time to read this manual and familiarise
yourself with your new bicycle. If you have purchased a bike for your children, please
take the time to make sure they understand the information contained in this Owner’s
Manual.
Important!
If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is essential that a responsible adult/
parent thoroughly reviews and reads the Owner’s Manual to the minor.
Please make sure to get your SCOTT bike completely assembled from your authorized
SCOTT dealer.
This is very important for optimum performance and safety and guarantees you a long
lasting joy while riding your bike.
It is important to understand the basics of riding a bicycle, but it is equally important to
exercise common sense when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport and requires reacting
to varying situations. Like any sports, cycling involves risk of injury and damage.
By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk.
Important!
Please use the bike of your choice only for the purpose it was made for.
For instance a road racing bike can not be used to substitute a mountain bike in off
road terrain or a Trekking bike can not be used for downhill racing or road racing.
If you have questions or problems regarding your new SCOTT bicycle, please contact
your Authorised Dealer.
Ride Frequently!
Legal advice:
Your new Kids bike meets, (as complete equipped model), all demands of the traffic
law standards and is allowed to be used in public streets.
It is obligatory that your child has reached the age of 8 years otherwise he/she should
use the sidewalk, which is legal up to 10 years of age. Please check your national laws
regarding this point!
Use of the bikes:
Maximum load of the bike must not exceed 50 kg.
The carrier ( when supplied with the bike) is made for a maximum load of 20 kg. In
general we recommend not to use the carrier on kids bikes for load transports due to
the reduced riding performance. SCOTT kids bikes are built to be very robust, jumps or
riding on stairways however exceed normal use.
When producing your SCOTT kids bike we only spec’d parts of high quality and
which offer safety under all riding situations. This is very important when participating
in public traffic. You will reach a maximum of safety by avoiding any dangerous
situations.
- Make sure that your child is well experienced in cycling when riding in public traffic.
Please be reminded that your child needs some time to get used to his/her
new bike. In addition children are allowed to ride on the sidewalk up to an age of
10 years.
- To react in the right way on public streets it is important for your child to know
about the traffic laws.
- Do not stress your child. It might happen that other participants in traffic, especially
cars, will make feel him/her unsure. Please have some lessons on how to ride in a
parking ground before participating in traffic.
