Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of this PUKY
road bike. You have acquired a quality product.
This User Manual contains information regard-
ing the safe operation and maintenance of this
new bicycle.
Should you have any questions, please con-
tact your dealer or contact us via our website:
www.puky.de.
The first journey
The initial contact between your child and the
public road traffic system makes high require-
ments of your child and of your supervision
obligations. We recommend ensuring that you
do not ask too much of your child. The follow-
ing safety notes must be taken into account if
the child does not have a well-founded sense
of balance developed by way of early training
with a scooter, balance bike or play bike.
First practice cycling with your child in a
suitable safe place, before allowing them to
ride independently on public roads.
Avoiding risks
Only when your child is capable of riding safe-
ly, may you permit them to use the public
roads. In order for your child to conduct them-
selves correctly on the road, it is important that
they are familiar with the key basic principles
of the highway code. Do not ask too much of
your child. Other road users, especially cars,
will unsettle a new, inexperienced road user.

Cycling techniques
Before starting your first journey, explain the
operation of the bicycle to your child. The child
must be allowed time to familiarise themselves
with the various components of the bicycle
before starting out. This applies, in particular,
to the way the brake works. In a safe place
(e.g. on a street with no traffic), practice brak-
ing with your child. Braking too hard with the
brake on the front wheel may cause the front
wheel to block resulting in a fall. Take care
when wet or on gravel! If bike paths are
available, these should be used. Adults should
set a good example.
Legal notes:
Your new children's road bike meets all the
requirements of the German Road Traffic
Licensing Regulations (StVZO) and may thus
be used on the roads. The prerequisite for this
is that the child is 8, otherwise they must use
the pavement. Using the pavement is permit-
ted until they reach the age of 10.
Using the bike
The overall load permitted for this bike (rider
plus bicycle and any luggage) is 20'' max.
60 kg; 24'' max. 100 kg. The load that may be
placed on the luggage rack will depend on the
version of the rack (see the embossing on the
rack). Models that are supplied without lug-
gage rack may subsequently be fitted with a
suitable rack. For road safety reasons, we do
not recommend using the rack for carrying
loads.
