tions.aterials. Contents of the enclosed accessory box are: Pe-
dals, hexagon tool (Allen key) (4mm,5mm,6mm), Front and Rear
Reectors and Instructions.
Adjusting screw for

4. Place the stem with the handlebar already mounted on the
steerer tube and adjust the headset using the headset adjustment
screw.
Very important: With this screw you adjust only the
headset play! This screw is not used to attach the stem!
Now align the handlebar in the direction of travel and tighten
the attachment screws for the stem with a 5 mm Allen key (torque
18 Nm).
2.After loosening the seat post clamp screw, slide the seat
post into the seat tube.
Important: It is essential to observe the minimum in-
sertion depth of the saddle support! This is indicated
by a marking line on the seatpost! The saddle
support must not be pulled out beyond this mark, as other-
wise a secure connection to the seat tube is not guaranteed!
The saddle can be adjusted after loosening the saddle faste-
ning screw in the longitudinal direction and inclination. Then
tighten this screw again (torque 15 Nm)!
Adjusting the correct saddle height: Place a pedal in the lo-
west 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!

5. 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 th-
read of the cranks or cause a fall!

10. The rear reector is attached to the seat post. The bell is at-
tached either on the right or left of the handlebar
8. Wear of the brake pads may require readjustment of the brake.
This can be done by the brake adjustment screw on the brake
lever!
The distance between the brake pads and the rim can also be
changed by slightly loosening the brake cable clamping screw and
slightly reducing or increasing the tension of the cable.
Then tighten the clamping screw again (7 Nm)! The
brake pads should be mounted parallel to the rim and
about 1 mm from their upper edge! Under no circum-
stances should they touch the tires when the brake is applied
(danger of falling due to damage to the tire)!
9. The front white reector is attached to the front fork.
Tighten the self-locking nut well!
Brake cable clam-
ping screw
7. The brake lever / handlebar distance can be adjusted to the
size of the child with the brake lever adjusting screw. After-
wards 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 grind.
The left brake handle is assigned to the front brake, the right to
the rear brake! For bicycles with coaster brake, the front brake is
operated with the right brake handle!

6. To install the front wheel, the front brake must be released. By
squeezing the two brake arms, the brake cable can be unhooked
by pulling lightly on the brake cable guide tube.
Now insert the wheel into the fork so that the axle ends on the
right and left of the hub body are correctly seated in the dropouts.
Tighten the wheel nuts well with a jaw or ring spanner (SW 15)
(torque: 30 Nm)!
Very important: do not forget to re-attach the brake
cable !!!

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 aect the
braking performance!
The chain should be cleaned regularly. Then treat the chain with
oil or a special lubricant.
Please regularly check the frame and fork for possible damage.
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 annually by a
professional bike mechanic.

The LIKEtoBIKE is not a means of transport and may not be used
on public roads! The permissible total weight is 50 kg. Only allow
your child to ride in protected areas (such as a pedestrian zone,
playground, sidewalk, etc.). When riding on public roads, please
observe the legal requirements, such as: Lighting and reectors.
The LIKEtoBIKE is not designed for jumps and similar bike stunts.
The bicycle must be set up ready for use by a knowledgeable adult
as described in this manual. The saddle height (adjustable saddle
height 535mm - 640 mm measured from the ground to the top
edge of the saddle) must be adapted to the size of the child. Put
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 leg.
Make sure that your hips stay level and do not tip over to the side!
In this setting, it must at least touch the ground with the tip of the
foot! The minimum insertion depth of the seat post must not be
undershot!
The child has to wear sturdy shoes and a bicycle helmet! It is also
useful to wear cycling gloves.
Explain to your child how to handle the LIKEtoBIKE correctly, point
out possible dangers!
Explain to the child how to use the brakes! The left brake grille is
assigned to the front brake, the right to the rear brake! For bicycles
with coaster brake, the front brake is operated with the right brake
handle! Sudden excessive braking should be avoided as it may
cause the wheels to slip and fall.
The braking distance is extended on wet roads. Continuous bra-
king with the coaster brake on downhill slopes must be avoided
(danger of overheating the brake hub).
The child may only drive under adult supervision!
No riding on sloping terrain, stairs, etc.!
Regularly check the tightness of the wheel nuts!
Regularly check the tire pressure! The permissible air pressure is
indicated on the tire.
Regularly check the functionality of the brakes! Worn brake pads
must be replaced immediately! Brake pads for aluminum rims
must be used! We strongly recommend that this work be carried
out by a professional bike mechanic.
Part of the rim brake system is also the rim! The wear is indicated
by the indicator groove in the rim rim. If this is no longer complete-
ly visible, the wheel must be replaced immediately!
Regularly check the chain tension, it may be moved in the middle a
maximum of 15 mm up and down. After loosening the wheel nuts,
the chain can be tensioned by pulling the rear wheel to the rear,
then retighten the wheel nuts (30 Nm).
User information / Safety
Please regularly check the frame and fork for possible damage.
The brake and external drivetrains should also be checked for
kinks or other damage.
Only use original spare parts for repairs! Please contact your dea-
ler!
Accessories, such as suitable mudguards, are available from your
dealer.
We recommend that the LIKEtoBIKE be inspected annually by a
professional bike mechanic.
WARNING
As is the case with all mechanical components, the bicycle is ex-
posed to wear and high stresses. Dierent materials and com-
ponents can react in dierent ways to wear or fatigue due to the
stresses. If the design life of a component is exceeded, the com-
ponent 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.
If a defect is detected on the LIKEtoBIKE, do not let the child
ride!
