WARNING
Assembly must be carried out by an adult because it contains small parts and sharp edges.
UNPACKING
Open the box carefully on the top, making sure not to damage any parts inside!
Take the bike with the components out of the box and carefully place all parts on a mounting mat or carpet. Carefully separate the individual parts from each other and remove the transport protection.
MOUNTING THE HANDLEBAR
-
Remove the ahead cap and the transport lock from the steerer tube.
-
Put the stem/handlebar unit onto the steerer tube.
Place the ahead cap on top of the stem and tighten the bolt with an hex key just enough to eliminate any play in the headset.
-
Center the handlebars.
-
Tighten the bolts on the stem, starting with the top bolt. Tighten both bolts with 8 Nm.
MOUNTING THE FRONT WHEEL
-
Put the locking plates on the screws for the front axle so that the groove points away from the head of the screw.
-
Turn the bolts into the hub of the front wheel, but do not turn them all the way in.
- Put the front wheel into the dropouts of the fork.
- Make sure the locking plates are on the outside of the dropouts and engage with the groove in the opening.
- Screw in the screws on both sides with a suitable hex key and tighten them with a torque of 8 to 12 Nm.
- Make sure that the rear wheel axle is tightened to a torque of 8 to 12 Nm.
MOUNTING THE SADDLE
-
Adjust the height of the saddle to suit the child. The child should be able to touch the floor with its feet while sitting. Make sure the saddle is centered.
-
Tighten the bolt of the seat post clamp with 4-5 Nm.
The push bike is now ready to ride. Have fun!

TARGET GROUP
The target group of this manual are the parents / guardians of the rider of the PROPAIN push bike.
Assembly and maintenance works require basic knowledge in bike technology. If you have any questions, a qualified bicycle mechanic or the PROPAIN service must be consulted. Incorrect assembly or incorrect maintenance of the push bike can lead to serious accidents with fatal consequences!
TOOLS
Work on the bike may only be carried out with suitable tools. Screw connections must be tightened to a defined torque using a torque wrench. Faultless assembly or disassembly of the components can only be guaranteed if the tools are in perfect working order and undamaged.
INTENDED USE / AGE LIMIT
PROPAIN push bikes are designed for children between 2 and 5 years old. The push bike must be used under adult supervision in an environment appropriate to the child’s abilities.
SAFETY
WARNING
DANGER OF ACCIDENT DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OR HANDLING!
- Installation must be carried out by a person with sufficient knowledge and skills. If you have any doubts or questions, you must seek the help of a trained bicycle mechanic or the PROPAIN Service!
- The push bike must be checked regularly for damage and malfunctions. If there are any abnormalities, the push bike must not be used any longer.
- The child must be supervised by an adult at all times when riding.
- For each use, the provisions according to “4. Use of the push bike” on page 6 must be observed.
USE OF THE PUSH BIKE
General information on the use of the push bike
- The child must wear a suitable helmet and closed, sturdy shoes on every ride and use protective equipment like gloves, knee and elbow pads.
- The wheel may only be ridden in the so-called protected space.
- The protected space refers to an area in which the child can develop and develop skills undisturbed by external influences or dangers, as for example a flat area.
- The child must be supervised by at least one adult at all times.
- The PROPAIN push bike has no brakes. The focus of the first few rides should be to teach the child to come to a stop safely.
- The supervising adult must observe at all times whether the child is assessing situations correctly and whether the push bike is under control according to the requirements of the environment.
- Due to the child’s natural urge to move and discover, the supervising adult must be prepared at all times for inattentiveness and sudden changes of direction or destination.
- The toy must be used with caution, as it requires skill, in order to avoid collisions that could cause injury to the user and third parties.
For the safety of the child, do not use the push bike in the following areas:
- on roads and pavements used by public traffic
- on steep slopes
- near water
- near stairs or a step
Adjusting the saddle height
The height of the saddle must be chosen so that the child touches the ground
safely, with slightly bent legs. Observe the child while riding and adjust the
saddle height from time to time if necessary.
On the seat post there is a marking for the minimum insertion depth. The seat
post must be pushed in so far that the marking is not visible.
Tire pressure
A correctly adjusted tire pressure contributes significantly to the push bike’s handling characteristics. Low tire pressure effectively absorbs minor bumps and jolts. Due to the low body weight of the child, we recommend a tyre pressure of 1 bar.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Regular maintenance and care ensure a long and reliable service life as well as unrestricted function. PROPAIN recommends the following activities:
- Check all wear parts (tires, grips, saddle) for wear and replace them if necessary.
- Check the following tightening torques regularly:
- Axle bolts of both wheels: 8 to 12 Nm
- Clamping screws of the stem :8 Nm
- Clamping screw of the seatpost clamp: 4 to 5 Nm
- Check the air pressure in the tyres. We recommend a tyre pressure of about 1 bar
