TILLER
The steering pole, or ‘tiller’, is key to getting the most from your Velio during the early stages of the rider’s develop-
ment. It allows you to provide extra support as your child builds confidence. Please use the QR code provided below for
tips and advice on the tiller’s best use.

To extend the tiller, loosen the twist locks by turning them
counter clockwise.
Pull the ball on the tiller to extend to your desired length.
Tighten the twist locks by rotating them in a clockwise direction. Reverse these steps to shorten the tiller.

ACTIVE BALANCE CONTROL (ABC) SYSTEM
Our patented ABC system is designed to simulate the steps we take to balance on a bike. When a rider loses balance it will
automatically initiate a turn in the direction they are falling, giving them more support and more time to correct their balance.
The rider is further helped to regain balance through a return-to-centre spring.
A novice rider will require the ABC system to be more responsive than an experienced rider. There is a selector dial that allows
you to adjust the ABC system’s compression according to your child’s progress.
Please note, when using the tiller, we recommend using the minimum compression setting. For further guidance and advice on
how to best use the ABC system, please visit our support page using the QR code opposite.

SAFETY
PLEASE RIDE WITH CARE!
No matter how confident you or your child are, it’s
worth spending time in a safe indoor, open area, free
from trac, to get comfortable using the Velio.
Please also remember the Velio is designed to
build confidence, as well as encourage adventure,
and this is best safeguarded by making sure
they are always wearing appropriate protective
equipment, above all...
ALWAYS WEAR A
HELMET!
