Hyper 12in Moto Balance Bike

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

WARNING: Most countries require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the province where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your bike as the law requires.

HELMET

While not all states require bicyclists to wear approved protective headgear, common sense dictates that you should wear an ANSI or Snell approved helmet whether the law requires it or not. Most serious bicycle injuries involve head injuries which might have been avoided if the rider had worn a helmet. Your dealer has a variety
of attractive helmets, and can recommend one to suit your needs. Your helmet must fit correctly, be worn correctly and be properly secured to do its real job. Ask your dealer to help you with the fit and adjustment of your helmet.
WARNING: Always wear a helmet when riding your bike. Always keep the chin strap securely buckled. Failure to wear an approved helmet may result in serious injury or death.

SHOES

The rider must always wear close toe shoes to protect their feet and help control this balance bike while riding. Since this balance bicycle has no pedals the riders feet must be protected while using this balance bicycle. Never use bare feet, sandals, or any open toe shoes.

Mechanical Safety Check

Here is a simple, sixty-second mechanical safety check which you should get in the habit of making every time you’re about to get on a bike.

NUTS, BOLTS
**** Lift the front wheel off the ground by 2 to 3 inches, (5 cm to 8 cm), (2), then let it bounce on the ground. Does anything sound, feel or look loose?
Do a quick visual inspection of the whole bike. Any loose parts or accessories? If so, secure them. If you’re not sure, ask someone with experience to check.
TIRES & WHEELS
** Tires correctly inflated? Check by putting one hand on the saddle, one on the intersection of the handlebars and stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while looking at tire deflection. Compare what you see with how it looks when you know the tires are correctly inflated.
Tires in good shape?
Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Replace damaged tires before riding the bike.
Wheels true?
Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-side wobble. If a wheel wobbles side to side or hits the brake pads, take the bike to a qualified bike shop to have the wheel trued.
CAUTION:** Wheels must be true for a bicycle to work properly. Wheel truing is a skill which requires special tools and experience. Do not attempt to true a wheel unless you have the knowledge and tools needed to do the job correctly.
WHEEL NUTS
** Are the front and rear wheels straight and secure in the dropouts? Are the wheel nuts properly tightened?
WARNING:** Riding with an improperly installed or insufficiently tightened wheel can cause the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bicycle, which can cause damage to the bicycle and serious injury or death.
HANDLEBAR
**** Is the handlebar stem correctly parallel to the bike’s top tube and tight enough so that you can’t twist them out of alignment?
HANDLEBAR ENDS
Are the handlebar grips secure and in good condition? If not, replace them. Are the handlebar ends plugged? If not, plug them before you ride.
WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips can cause you to lose control and fall. Unplugged handlebars can act like a cookie cutter on your body, and cause serious injury in an otherwise minor accident.

RIDING SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY

WARNING! This bike is not to be ridden by riders who weigh more than 66 lbs (29.94 kgs).
NOTE: Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk. Not the people who sold you the bicycle. Not the people who made the bicycle. Not the people who distribute bicycle. Not the people who manage or maintain the roads or trails you ride on. It’s only the responsibility of the supervising adult and the rider to know and to practice the rules of safe and responsible riding.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS

In addition to The Basics (page 7), children need to be taught and have frequently reinforced the following rules and lessons which adults are already expected to know. We urge you to take the time to familiarize yourself with these rule and to teach them to your child before you let your child node this bicycle.

RULES
- Do not ride this bicycle at night
- Do not ride this bicycle with a passenger
- Do not ride this bicycle on public streets
- Rider must always ride this bicycle under adult supervision
- Rider must always wear shoes and protective gear
- Never ride this bicycle near stairs or open water
LESSONS
The lessons that follow relate to some of the most common real situations that children encounter when riding their bikes. Go over these situations with your child and make sure the lesson objective is accomplished.

Driveway Ride Out: When a youngster rides out of the driveway and is struck by a car, that is called a ride out accident.

What can you do?
First, realize the danger of your own driveway. If there are obstructions to the view of passing motorists (like bushes or trees), trim them back. You might park your car in front of the driveway, if local ordinance permits. This way, your child can’t use the driveway as a launching pad. But the most important thing you can do is teach your child about driveway safety. Take your child outside to the driveway and have him/her practice stopping before entering the street or highway. The rider must never ride this balance bicycle on public streets or highways.

RIDING SAFELY AND THE BASICS

Always do the Mechanical Safety Check Before you get on a bike.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your
Be careful to keep body parts and other objects away from the spinning wheels of your bicycle.
Always wear a cycling helmet which meets the latest Snell or ANSI standard.
Always wear shoes that will stay on your feet and will grip the ground. Never ride barefoot or with sandals.
Wear bright, visible clothing that is not so loose that is can catch on moving parts of the bicycle or be snagged by objects at the side of the road or trail.
Don’t jump with your bike. Jumping a bike, particularly a BMX bike, can be fun; but it puts incredible stress on your balance bike. Perhaps most vulnerable to jumping – on jumping their bikes risk serious damage, to their bicycles as well as to themselves. Never ride this bicycle on public streets or highways.

WET WEATHER RIDING

WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both for the bicyclist and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of accident is dramatically increased in wet conditions. Under wet conditions, the stopping power and the traction of your balance bike is dramatically reduced. Your tires and shoe’s don’t grip nearly as well. This makes it harder to control speed and easier to lose control. To make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions ride slower. We do not recommend riding this balance bike in wet conditions.

RULES OF THE TRAIL

We recommend that children not ride off-road without the accompaniment of an adult. In any event, never ride alone in remote areas. Even when riding with others, make sure that someone knows where you’re going and when you expect to be back. Always take along some kind of identification, so that people know who you are in case of an accident.
Surface hazards make off-road riding much more difficult and therefore more dangerous than riding on paved roads. Start slowly and build up your skills on easier terrain before tackling the more difficult.
Learn and obey the local laws regulating where and how you can ride off-road, and respect private property. Don’t ride where you are not welcome or where you are not allowed.
You are sharing the trail with others – hikers, equestrians, other cyclists. Respect their rights, and be tolerant if they inconvenience you.
Yield right of way to pedestrians and animals. Ride in a way that does not frighten or endanger them, and stay far enough away so that their unexpected moves don’t endanger you.
You may be riding in sensitive habitat, so stay on the designated trail. Don’t contribute to erosion by riding in mud or with unnecessary Don’t disturb wildlife or livestock; and don’t disturb the ecosystem by cutting your own trail through vegetation or streams.
It is your responsibility to minimize your impact on the environment. Ride accordingly. Leave things as you found them; and always take out everything you brought in.
If you crash: First, check yourself for injuries, and take care of them as best you can.

Next, check your bike for damage, and fix what you can.
Then, when you get home, carefully perform the maintenance procedure described this manual and check for any other damaged parts. All bent, scored or discolored parts are suspect and should be replaced.

WARNING: A crash can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components, causing them to fatigue prematurely. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing loss of control, serious injury or death.

CAUTION: If you have any doubt about the condition of the bicycle or any of its parts, take it to your dealer for a thorough check.

Riding Safety and Responsibility

The Owner’s Responsibility

**WARNING:** This bicycle is made to be ridden by one rider at a time for general l.!) transportation and recreational use. It is not made to withstand the abuse of stunting and jumping.

**** If the bicycle was purchased unassembled, it is the owner’s responsibility to follow All assembly and adjustment instructions exactly as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions” supplied with the bicycle. The owner must make sure all components are securely attached.
If the bicycle was purchased assembled, it the owner’s responsibility, before riding the Bicycle for the first time, to make sure the bicycle is assembled and adjusted exactly As written in this manual and any “Special Instructions” supplied with the bicycle. The owner must make sure all components are securely attached.

NOTE: This bicycle has a fixed seating position and cannot be adjusted.

To determine the correct size of bicycle for the rider have them straddle the assembled bicycle with feet shoulder width apart and flat on the ground.

Repair and Service

WARNING: Inspect the bicycle frequently. Failure to inspect the bicycle and to make repairs or adjustments, as necessary can result in injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled and adjusted as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”.

Immediately replace any damaged, missing, or badly worn parts.
Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”. Parts that are not tight enough can be lost or operate poorly. Over tightened parts can be damaged. Make sure any replacement fasteners are the correct size and type. If your frame is aluminum, inspect the bicycle frame carefully and frequently. Aluminum frames can develop very small cracks due to stress, severe shocks, etc. If you see any small cracks, stop riding the bicycle. Have the frame inspected by a qualified professional at a bicycle service shop before riding the bicycle again.
NOTE: Have a bicycle service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do not have the correct tools or if the instructions in this manual or any “Special Instructions” are not sufficient for you.

WHEELS

Wheel Inspection
It is most important that wheels are kept in top condition. Properly maintaining your bicycle’s wheels will help braking performance and stability when riding. Be aware of the following potential problems:
Wheels not straight:
Lift each wheel off the ground and spin them to see if they are crooked or out of round. If wheels are not straight, they will need to be adjusted. This is quite difficult and is best left to a bicycle specialist.
Broken or loose spokes:
Check that all spokes are tight and that none are missing or damaged.
Caution! Such damage can result in severe instability and possibly an accident if not corrected. Again, bicycle specialist best handles spoke repairs.
Loose hub bearings:
Lift each wheel off the ground and try to move the wheel from side to side.
Caution! If there is movement between the axle and the hub, do not ride the bicycle. Adjustment is required.
Axle nuts:
Check that these are tight before each ride.

Inspection of Bearings

Maintenance: Frequently check the bearings of the bicycle. Have a bicycle service shop lubricate the bearings once a year or any time they do not pass the following tests.
Head Tube Bearings: The fork should turn freely and smoothly at all times. With the front wheel off the ground, you should not be able to move the fork up, down, or side-to-side in the head tube.
Wheel Bearings: Lift each end of the bicycle off the ground and slowly spin the raised wheel by hand.
The bearings are correctly adjusted if:
The wheel spins freely and easily. There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side with light force.

Front Wheel Installation

Carefully turn bicycle upside down.
Locate front wheel and remove the axle nuts (3) and security washers (2). Insert front wheel aligning the axle (1) into the fork drop outs with the wheel hub centered between the forks as shown in Fig. 1. Install both left and right security washers (2) onto the axle (1). Make sure the tab of each security washer (2) is placed into the holes on the fork as shown in Fig. 2. Make sure the wheel is centered with the middle of the the forks. Using a wrench tighten both left and right axle nuts (3) to the recommended torque of 21 ft-lbs, (28 Nm).
WARNING: Do not use the nuts without serrations to attach the front wheel.

Front Fender Installation

Remove the lock nut (1) from the bicycle as shown in Fig. 1. Align and install the fender bracket (3) down onto the threaded fork. There is an alignment tab on the fender bracket that will align with the alignment slot on the threaded fork as shown in Fig 2. Align and tighten the lock nut (1) back onto the threaded fork (3) as shown in Fig 2. Align and install the threaded fork plug (4) to the threaded fork (2) top opening as shown in Fig 3.

Tires

Maintenance Frequently check the tire inflation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the bicycle off the tires.

WARNING: Do not ride or sit on the bicycle if either inner tube is under inflated. This can damage the tire and inner tube. Do not use unregulated air hoses to inflate the inner tubes. An unregulated hose can suddenly over inflate bicycle tires and cause them to burst.

Use a hand or a foot pump to inflate the inner tubes. The correct inflation pressure is shown on the tire sidewall. Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same distance from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tire into the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and stop frequently to check the tire sealing and the pressure, until you reach the correct inflation pressure as indicated on the tire sidewall. Replace worn or defective tires and inner tubes.

Tire Valves

The tire valve allows air to enter the tire’s inner tube under pressure, but doesn’t let it back out unless you want it to. There are primarily two kinds of bicycle tube valves the Schraeder Valve and the Presta Valve. The bicycle pump you use must have the fitting appropriate to the valve stems on your bicycle.

The Schraeder (Shown) is like the valve on a car tire. To inflate a Schraeder valve tube, just remove the valve cap and push the air hose or pump fitting onto the end of the valve stem. To let air out of a Schraeder valve, depress the pin in the end of the valve stem with the end of a key or other appropriate object.

The Presta (Shown) has a narrower diameter and is only found on bicycle tires. To inflate a Presta valve tube using a Presta headed bicycle pump, remove the valve cap; unscrew (counterclockwise) the valve stem lock nut; and push down on the valve stem to free it up. Then push the pump head on to the valve head, and inflate.
To inflate a Presta valve with a gas station air hose, you will need a Presta adapter (available at your bike shop) which screws on to the valve stem once you’ve freed up the valve. The adapter fits the end of the air hose fitting. To let air out of a Presta valve, open up the valve stem lock nut and depress the valve stem. Always close the valve stem lock after inflation.

TIRE REMOVAL

Let the air out of the tire by depressing the valve core (the little pin in the center of the valve stem opening).
Separate the tire bead from the sides of the rim by pressing with your thumbs. Work your way around the tire on both sides to be sure that the beads of the tire are not sticking to the rim. (Figure A)
Stand the wheel up on a firm surface with the valve stem on the bottom and grasp the upper part of the tire with both hands. Try to roll the tire off the far side of the rim.
With the wheel standing as in Figure 3, use bicycle tire tools or spoon handles with rounded ends (at least two -preferably three) to lift the bead on one side of the tire off the rim. Be careful not to pinch the inner tube between the tire tools and the tire bead or rim. Once you have got the bead off for about one fourth of the circumference of the tire using the tools, the rest can usually be pulled off by hand.
With the bead on one side of the tire completely off the rim, you can now pull the inner tube out from between the tire and rim everywhere except in the area of the valve stem.
It should now be easy to pull the tire the rest of the way off the rim. Start at the side of the wheel opposite the valve stem and simply lift the bead of the tire up over the side of the rim and pull it off.
FIGURE A
Press with thumbs separate tire bead. Continue around entire rim until the bead is completely separated.
FIGURE B
Lift bead with spoons or tire tools.
FIGURE C
Replace tire onto rim.
FIGURE D
Rim strip protects inner tube from spoke ends.
FIGURE E
Use thumb ID press valve stem through hole in rim. Make certain valve stem is straight.
