For safety: We recommend that you install all the reectors. These are mandatory according to the trac
laws of many countries. Riding with reectors increases the cyclist’s visibility to other road users. Reectors
are designed to capture and reect car lights and headlights as a way to make the bike more visible, but
they do not replace lights. If your child rides at night, the bike must be equipped with lights, as provided for
in the Highway Code. Please check the relevant national legal requirements.

F. TIRE PRESSURE
It is possible that during transport the tire pressure will go down. If necessary, refer to the BAR/PSI pressure indicated on the
sidewall of the tires to adjust this pressure using a bicycle pump.

•Each Bemoov bike is adapted to the weight of the child
of the age corresponding to the model. Please respect
the authorized weight limit:
BEMOOV M14: maximum 35 kg
BEMOOV M16: maximum 40 kg
•Your Bemoov bicycle has been designed to be used on
paved and semi-paved terrain and on smooth gravel or
tarmac. It is not designed for stunts, jumps or any other
extremediscipline(BMX,DIRT,DH,Slalom,Enduro…).
If your child uses their bike beyond its limits, there is a
real risk of failure that could lead to serious injury.
•Always comply with national legal requirements for road

•Please ensure that children are aware that bicycles have
moving parts and that they cannot touch them when they
are in motion. Spokes, tires, chain, gears and other
moving parts can cause serious injury if contacted during
movement. This risk exists even if the bicycle is not in
motion.
•Please ensure that your child does not carry passengers
on his/her Bemoov.
•Crashes are sometimes unavoidable when riding a
bicycle. As the bicycle is made up of sharp and hard
metal objects, these crashes can cause injury. After a
fall,rstcheckifthechildisokay.Thencheckthegeneral
condition of the bike and its components before the child
can get back on the bike. If in doubt, please contact our

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Bemoovbikeshavebeenmanufacturedwithqualitycomponentssothattheyaredurableandecient.Keepingyourbike
clean and maintained will extend its life and function while maintaining your child’s safety. This will also allow the bike to retain
the high resale value which most used Bemoov bikes maintain.
To do this, we have listed some tips and checks:
A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
To clean your bike, we advise you to use hot water, a sponge and a classic degreasing soap. Never use acidic products, or
liquids containing solvents. Check the instructions on these products before using them. Never clean your bike with a high
pressure jet.
Regularly lubricate the moving parts of your bike. Weather conditions are usually the main determinant of maintenance and
lubrication frequency. This maintenance also depends on the frequency, type, and duration of riding.
B. BIKE FRAME
Bemoov frames are made of high quality and very light 6061 aluminum. Frame maintenance is minimal. Cleaning according to
thegeneralinstructionswillsuce.Taketheopportunityeachtimeyoucleanittoinspecttheframecompletelytodetectany

C. THE BRAKES
BemoovhaschoseneasilyadjustableandecientV-Brakebrakes.Brakesareofcourseoneoftheprimaryelementsforsafe
use. Maintenance and upkeep are important. Be certain to check and maintain them regularly.
What should regularly be checked on the brakes:
• Dependingontheuserandhis/herprociencylevel,youwillneedtoadjustthestrokeofthebrakelevertoimprovehow
wellittsyourchild’shands.Tighteningbolt5clockwisebringstheleverclosertothehandlebarsforsmallhands.
•When maximum pressure is applied, the brake lever should still never touch the handlebars.
•After extended use, you will notice a slight stretching of the brake cable, which will feel softer to the touch. Unscrewing
bolt 6 anti-clockwise will restore tension to the brakes.
•Regularly check the wear of the brake pads. Never exceed the wear lines. Once the brakes wear beyond the wear lines,
they will have to be replaced.
•Regularly check the angle of the brake lever on the handlebar. The correct angle of 30-35° should allow a straight line
between the rider’s hand and forearm. Adjust this position by tightening bolt 4.
•Be sure not to allow oil or any lubricant to come into contact with the pads or the rim.
• Checkthatthepadstouchtheatfaceoftherimwithouttouchingthetires.Bolt2willallowyoutoreadjustthispositionif
necessary.
• Checkthatthecablexingbolt(1)isstilltight.
•Regularly check that when you lift the bike, the front and rear wheel rotate freely. Otherwise, proper readjustment will be
required.(seeourwebsitewww.bemoov-bikes.beformoreinformation.)
When checking that the wheels rotate eciently, prevent your child from touching the moving parts, to avoid
the risk of injury.
ATTENTION !
!

Check that your wheels are well centered in the frame and in
the fork.
Always check the wheels are correctly attached to the frame
andthefork.Yourwheelsmusttperfectly.Totightenyour
wheels properly, apply between 12-15 Nm of force with a
5mm wrench.
Check the wear of the rims of your bike. Our Bemoov bikes
have an embossed black indicator line on the circumference
of the rim. In case of heavy use, they will have to be replaced
when the indentation begins to fade.

E. THE DRIVETRAIN
The drivetrain is comprised of all the components including the chain, the crankset, the pedals and the freewheel.
These components work together to keep your child moving forward. This is why it is crucial to maintain them perfectly.
•Clean: Use a soft bristled brush to remove any dirt or debris attached to the chain and freewheel.
•Degrease: Spray cleaner or degreaser on the chain and freewheel. Then wipe everything with a cloth by turning the crank.
•Lubricate the chain regularly. We recommend lubricating periodically or after excessive use. Apply only bicycle chain lube

•Crank arms can sometimes come loose. Please check whether this has occurred by holding both cranks with both hands
to determine if you feel any play. Do this by moving back and forth as well as left and right. If you notice any play, tighten
them at the level of the bolt which connects the crank to the axle of the bottom bracket. If the problem persists, it means
that they are damaged and must be replaced.
