ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LIKEtoBIKE 24
Please read this manual carefully before using the LIKEtoBIKE for the rst time!
The assembly must be done by an adult!
Remove all packaging materials. Contents of the enclosed acces-
sory box are: Pedals, hexagon tool (Allen key) (4mm,5mm,6mm),
Front and Rear Reectors, Touch-up paint, Instructions.
3. 3.After loosening the seat post clamp screw, slide the seat post
into the seat tube.
Please note the minimum insertion depth of the sadd-
le support! This is indicated by a marking line on the
seatpost! The saddle support must not be pulled out
beyond this mark be, otherwise a secure connection to
the seat tube is not guaranteed! The saddle can be adjusted
in the longitudinal direction and inclination after loosening the
saddle fastening screw. Then tighten this screw again!
Adjusting the correct saddle height: Place a pedal in the lowest
position. If the child is sitting on the saddle, it must be able to
touch this pedal with his heel outstretched. Make sure that the
hips remain horizontal and do not tip over to the side!
4. Now mount the pedals. Turn the pedal axles by hand until snug!
Then tighten with a 15 mm wrench.
Important: The right pedal is mounted clockwise, the
left pedal counterclockwise! The pedals are marked on
the pedal axle with an „R“ for the right pedal and an „L“ for
the left. It is important to remember this if you need to loosen the
pedal axle someday. So that the pedals can easily be loosened
again later,
grease them lightly before mounting.
After the rst long ride please check that the pedals are
seated rmly! Loose pedals could damage the thread of
the cranks or cause a fall!

2. Dismantle the clamping plate of the adjustable stem, align the
handlebar with the gear knob to the right in the center and x it by
tightening the four clamping plate screws.
Very important: Check the tightness of the height
adjustment screw (torque 8-10 Nm)
To adjust the stem, please refer to the separate stem guide.
Very important: With this screw you set only the head-
set play!
This screw is not used to attach the stem!

7. The distance between the brake pads and the rim can be chan-
ged by slightly loosening the brake cable clamp screw and slightly
reducing or increasing the tension of the cable.
Then tighten the brake cable clamp screw again! Wear
of the brake pads may necessitate a readjustment of
the brake. Small adjustments can be done by using the
brake adjustment screw on the brake lever.

6. The brake lever / handlebar distance can be adjusted to the
child‘s reach with the brake lever adjustment screw.
Afterwards the correct distance of the brake pad to the rim
may have to be reset! They should be as close as possible to
the rim, but not touch until the lever is pulled.
The left brake handle is assigned to the front brake, the right to the
rear brake!
Center the rim and close the quick release lever so that it is parallel
to the left fork.
Important: The quick-release lever must be very dif-
cult to swing into the closed position! Press the quick
release lever into position with the ball of your thumb
while you wrap your ngers around the back of the fork!
If the quick release lever can be turned in the closed position,
the clamping force is not sufcient. The bike could come loo-
se during the ride! Open the quick-release lever again and pull
the clamping nut a little tighter. Then close the quick release
lever as described above! Do not forget to reinsert the brake
cable guide tube and check the brakes!
5. To install the front wheel, the front brake must be released. By
squeezing the two brake arms and pulling gently on the brake
cable guide tube, the brake cable can be unhooked.
Now insert the wheel into the fork so that the axle ends to the right
and left of the hub body are correctly seated in the ends. Remove
the tension nut and a spring from the quick release axle. Now
insert the quick-release axle from the left side through the hollow
axle of the wheel hub.
Then push the second spring onto the quick-release axle.
Pull the quick release clamp nut open. With the quick-release lever
open, tighten the quick release lever until it touches the dropout.

Attention!
Important safety instructions!
The LIKEtoBIKE is not a means of transport and may not be used
on public roads!
Only allow your child to ride in protected areas (such as a pedestri-
an zone, playground, sidewalk, etc.). When riding on public roads,
please observe the legal requirements, such as: Lighting and re-
ectors.
Explain to your child how to handle the LIKEtoBIKE correctly, point
out possible dangers!
Explain to the child how to use the brakes! The child may only ride
under adult supervision!
The child has to wear sturdy shoes and a bicycle helmet! It is also
useful to wear cycling gloves.
No riding on sloping terrain, stairs, etc.! Regularly check the tight-
ness of the wheel nuts! Regularly check the functionality of the
brakes! Regularly check the tire pressure!
If a defect is detected on the LIKEtoBIKE, do not let the child ride!
WARNING
As is the case with all mechanical components, the bicycle is expo-
sed to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components
can react differently in terms of wear or fatigue due to the stresses.
If the design life of a component is exceeded, the component may
suddenly fail and possibly cause injury to the rider. Any type of
cracking, scratching or color change in highly stressed areas is an
indication that the life of the component has been reached and that
the part should be replaced.
The LIKEtoBIKE was manufactured according to EN 14764 (city
and trekking bicycles) and designed for a permissible total weight
of 100 kg.
Inspection and inspection instructions-
All painted surfaces should be cleaned regularly with mild deter-
gent, warm water and a soft sponge to remove mud and dirt. From
time to time it is recommended to preserve the paintwork and all
metal surfaces, screws and nuts with a hard wax.
The rims must not be waxed, as this would affect the bra-
king performance!
The chain and rear derailleur should also be cleaned regularly.
Then treat the chain and all moving parts of the derailleur with oil
or a special lubricant.
Please regularly check the frame and fork for possible da-
mage. The brake and external trains should also be bent
or otherwise damaged.
be examined. The brake pads should be checked before each ride,
in case of heavy wear they must be replaced by a trained bike
mechanic! The rim is also part of the braking system and must be
checked regularly for damage and wear!
We recommend that the LIKEtoBIKE be inspected annu-
ally by a professional bike mechanic.

The rear derailleur was set correctly in the factory.
After a long period of use it should be necessary to proceed as
follows.
Adjustment of the rear derailleur
The rear derailleur can be adjusted using the adjusting screws and
the shift cable adjustment screw.

roller
Chain on the largest
sprocket (1st gear)
1. Turn the shift handle to the 8th gear while turning the crank. With
the „high adjustment screw“ (for the high gear ratio), set the travel
limit so that the upper guide pulley of the gear box is just below the
smallest sprocket when you look at the sprocket from behind (by
turning it counterclockwise) outside, by turning clockwise inward
towards the wheel)! This setting prevents the chain from jumping
over the 8th pinion.

2. Now switch to 1st gear. Now the upper guide pulley of the ge-
arshift should be just under the largest pinion. You can precisely
adjust this position with the „low setting screw“ (for the low gear
ratio) (by turning counterclockwise, the cage moves inwards to-
wards the wheel, turning it clockwise to the outside). This setting
prevents the chain from jumping over the 1st pinion towards the
spoke guard.
3. If the chain produces a rattling noise on the pinions, adjust the
chain with the shift cable adjustment screw. Turning to the right
causes the shift cable to be moved to the left, turning left to shift it
to the right.
An optimal setting is achieved when the adjusting screw is tighte-
ned while the crankset is turned and the chain runs over the se-
cond largest pinion (2nd gear) until a rasping noise occurs. Then
loosen the adjusting screw again by 360 °.
Now the chain should run clean.

Height adjustment
screw
In order for the LIKEtoBIKE to take up less space during transport
(for example in the car trunk), the stem can be turned by 90 ° with
just a few hand movements and swiveled downwards. As a tool,
only a 5 mm Allen key is needed.
1. After loosening the height adjusting screw, lift the stem upwards
from the shaft tube sleeve and put it back on by 90 ° to the left.
Then tighten the height adjustment screw again slightly. (Image 1)
2. Loosen the angle adjustment screw and swing the stem down.
Now retighten the angle adjustment screw. (Picture 2)
