Safety Information
2.1
Basic Safety Information
Your Woombike is shipped in a partially assembled state. Before the first ride, some settings need to be made to put your
bike in working condition. Follow the included assembly instructions included, as well as the section
"Before Your First
Ride"
in section 3.
Bicycling is meant to be fun and is good for your health, if it is done properly and
responsibly. This manual will help you use your Woombike correctly and safely.
Read the manual completely through, and particularly pay attention to all of the
warnings and maintenance instructions before using the bike. If someone borrows
the bike or guardians supervise your child, make sure that they are also familiar
with the content of the manual.
2.2
Information for Parents and Guardians
As a parent, or supervising legal guardian of a child, you are
responsible for the activities and safety of the child
. Right
from the start, we would like to help you to correctly teach your child how to ride a bike by directing your attention
particularly to the following aspects:
Helmet and Clothing.
Always wear a helmet when riding.
Get your child a suitable helmet and ensure that it used at any time when riding a
bicycle, and that it is fixed tightly. The child should wear appropriate, closely fitting, bright and preferably reflective
clothing so other road users can see it in a timely manner. Use sturdy and non-slip footwear and other appropriate protective
clothing for bicycling.
Teach your child how to
woom
correctly.
Make sure you explain to your child the function of the brakes in a comprehensible way, and that the kid has become
familiar with the brakes before the first ride. Teach your child the safe and responsible handling of the bike, in the
environment in which it will ride.
Check on Your Child.
You know the skills and the competences of your child best. Pay attention to what can be expected from him/her when
bicycling so that she/he is safe at all times. Pay attention to the surroundings of your child, including external distracting
stimuli, and not let the child ride in direct proximity to other small children.
The bicycle and its components include pointed and hard metal objects that may cause injuries. After the
child fell down, and the child is unhurt, also check the bicycle and components for damages before you allow
your child to get back on the bike.
2.3
Safety in Road Traffic
Make yourself knowledgeable about the applicable national regulations and explain to your child the basic rules of the Road
Traffic Act
Avoid riding a bike during slippery and wet weather conditions. If unavoidable, you should ride more slowly and carefully,
and use the brakes in time. Make sure that the light is turned on when it is dark.
Note that only the
Citybike
version of the Woombikes is officially permitted within the framework of the road
traffic regulations for road traffic.
