INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Pit Crew. A STACYC™ is the
world’s first patented Electric Powered Balance Bike. A STACYC™ was designed to be a
non-intimidating way for young children to learn and enjoy riding on two wheels. And,
while it is meant to be a confidence-inspiring developmental tool, it is a serious piece
of machinery and must be used per the guidance in this manual and the on-product
labels to maximize user safety. As the purchaser of this machinery, you are responsi-
ble to make sure it is operated in the intended environment, under the supervision
and control of an adult that is familiar with the design, the operation, and this manu-
al. Reminder: Always ensure riders are wearing a helmet and proper footwear.
The STACYC™ was designed to allow children to gain the skills of riding two-wheeled
vehicles at an earlier stage than previously available to them. STACYC™ will assist
them through the awkward ages and phases of physical development where the
design of a regular, pedal-operated bicycle does not allow for a low seat height that
their leg to torso ratio requires. The design of a STACYC™, combined with the duration
and distance it allows, provides children with thousands of hours of seat time, during
their formative years that would be otherwise unattainable with a regular “kids” sized
cycle. Thus, effectively bridging the gap between learning to walk and becoming a
two-wheeled cycle operator. While all children will learn at different rates and have
different capabilities, a STACYC™ can aid in their development. There are essentially
two developmental phases your child will experience on a STACYC™: push bike mode
and powered mode. If your child can walk, they can begin to ride in the non-pow-
ered, push-bike mode. This allows them to get acquainted with the controls and body
positioning. It is the responsibility of the parent/owner to assess the familiarity and
ability of each child as they progress through the process. And, please remember it is
not a competition. The process is about development and enjoyment. Once your child
is proficient in coasting and braking, and comprehends the throttle function, they
can begin the powered modes of the process. The ability of the powered modes to
prolong the enjoyment, continue the development, and extend the ride, will inspire
confidence for a child who has only been walking for only a short time.
STACYC™ will take your child and you to places you did not imagine were possible.
However, before you and your child depart, please be sure to check and obey all local
laws. STACYC™ balance bikes are designed for off-road use and are meant to be ridden
where all pertaining laws are followed, and permissions are given.
Ride Sooner, Ride STACYC.
