1.3. Which version of the
Balance Bike 3in1
is the best for me?
BALANCE BIKE
1.5 — 5 years
This is the classic version of leg&go.
It is particularly adaptable in size
which means that this friendship
will last until the age of 5!
BOUNCY BIKE
2 — 3 years
This version is up to the little rider’s
taste. Some like it bouncy, some don’t.
The frame construction of this version
provides increased natural suspension,
turning the cruising into bouncy fun.
Most suitable for chill rides on flat
terrain. If the road is too bumpy or
your child is older than 3 (which also
means heavier), the little one will have
to focus more on controlling the bike.
BABY BIKE
10 months — 2 years
Featuring an upside-down
frame, this is the lowest variant
of them all — it is suitable for the
youngest riders, whose leg inside
height measures as little as 25 cm.

2. ADJUSTING
THE HEIGHT & SIZE
2.1. How to change
the front fork angle
FOR THE VIDEO MANUAL, GO TO
www.legandgo.com/manual4
The height and size of your
bike can be adjusted
by changing:
the angle of the front fork,
the position of the seat mount,
the position of the seat.
1
2
1 Remove the big lobe knob and
detach the front fork from
the seat mount and frame.
2 Find the most suitable front fork
position for your little rider by
selecting one of the four bores of the
main frame. Fasten all parts back
together with the big lobe knob.
What does it change?
The angle of the front fork. A steeper angle makes
the steering sharper, but harder to control at a higher
speed (suitable for more experienced riders).
 The distance between the wheels. A steeper angle of
the fork shortens the distance between the wheels,
which makes the bike more agile but harder to control
at a higher speed (suitable for more experienced riders).
 The height of the seat. A steeper front fork
angle brings the seat position higher, whereas
a wider angle brings the seat position lower.
The ideal front fork
angle for ensuring
comfortable, safe and
ergonomic riding is at
15° angle to the ground.
An angle that is too
steep makes the bike
harder to control.
An angle that is too
wide makes the bike
harder to control.

2.2. How to change
the height and/or
position of the seat
1 Disassemble your Balance Bike
by removing the big lobe knob.
2 Find the most suitable seat mount
position for your little rider by
selecting one of the six bores of the
seat mount. Fasten all parts back
together with the big lobe knob.
3 To adjust the seat position, loosen
the lobe knob of the seat and
slide the seat up or down the
groove of the seat mount.
When the seat is in the desired
position, tighten the lobe knob
to fasten the seat in place.
I MPORTANT! The seat must be
fastened firmly in order to prevent
it from moving while riding.
4 At the seat mount’s highest
position, the seat must be
flipped front-to-back to ensure a
horizontal position of the seat.

What does it change?
Properly adjusted height and angle of the seat mount ensures
that the little rider is in a comfortable position.
 Properly adjusted distance between the handlebar and the seat ensures that
the little rider has the most ergonomic seat position with any frame adjustment.
IM PORTANT! Whenever adjusting the height and/or position of your seat
mount, always make sure that the seat is positioned perfectly horizontally.
The seat position must
always be horizontal!
The child will slide
backwards.
The child will

PLEASE NOTE! The lobe knobs of the rear wheel
DO NOT adjust the height of the bike. These knobs
are moved for certain modifications only (i.e. from
Balance Bike to Baby Bike, Pedal Bike, etc.).
This can be corrected by repositioning
the seat and/or flipping it front-to-back
(see steps 3 and 4 on page 20).

2.3. Tips for making the
most suitable height
& size adjustments
If your child can
touch the ground with
tippy-toes only, the height
adjustment is wrong for
the first bike experience.
The little one will not feel
safe and confident.
Having your child’s feet
touching the ground
fully is the correct height
adjustment for the Balance
Bike. The little explorer
will be able to ride with
confidence, getting the
best first riding experience.
If your child’s legs are too
bent in knees, the little one
will not feel comfortable.
Such height adjustment
is not ergonomic.

FOR PEDAL BIKE While learning to pedal, make sure that the feet touch the
ground fully. When the little adventurer gets more experienced, you can adjust
the seat mount to a higher position so only the tippy-toes touch the ground.

Downhill Bike
The footrest of the
add-on item is designed
strong enough for riding
in a standing position. It
also works as a brake.
When the feet are
placed on the pad, the
attachment functions
as a footrest; to use the
brake, just push down on
the tip of the footboard.

previously removed lobe knob.
If this setting is not suitable
for your child, see pages 18-22
for tips on how to adjust the
proper bike height and size.
4 Both rear wheel lobe knobs
must be in the middle bores.
I MPORTANT! The brake does not
function in other rear wheel positions.
5 As the brake wears down over time,
you can easily adjust it. Just loosen
the screw on the bottom of the
brake footboard (using the Allen
key), slightly reposition it along the
small groove, then tightly fasten it.

4.3.How to transform
your Balance Bike 3in1
into Rocking Elephant
BEFORE YOU BEGIN If you are
transforming your Balance Bike 3in1
into Rocking Elephant, disassemble
your bike and prepare the necessary
Balance Bike parts listed on page 33.
1 Take the seat mount, remove the
lobe knob under the seat and flip
the seat front-to-back. Fasten the
seat with the lobe knob tightly.
2 Attach the 2 rocker fixtures to the
main frame with the 2 lobe knobs,
fastening them in the lowest bores.
I MPORTANT! Leave the lobe
knobs a little loose for now.
3 Attach the seat mount to the head.

4 Attach the main frame to the seat
mount and the head. Make sure to align
the metal fixtures of the main frame
with the lowest holes of the seat mount.
5 Assemble the 3 parts by placing the
big lobe knob in the second hole
from the top. Tightly fasten it.
6 Attach the assembled Elephant frame
to the rocker with the 3 furniture
screws provided in the Accessories bag.
PLEASE NOTE the screws come in
2 different sizes. The narrow screws
(2pcs) are for fastening the rocker to
the hind legs (use the 4-mm-end of
the Allen key). The bigger screw (1pc)
is for fastening the rocker to the head
(use the 5-mm-end of the Allen key).
I MPORTANT! Start by loosely
fastening all 3 screws by hand. When
the 3 screws are in place, fasten
them tightly with the Allen key.
7Once the Elephant frame is tightly
fastened to the rocker, remember
to tighten the rear lobe knobs!
8 Separate the handles. Place the
handles on either side of the head
and join them through the hole,
fastening them tightly together.
May the happy rocking begin!
DO NOT LEAVE THE CHILD
UNATTENDED.

Pedal Bike
By attaching pedals to the Balance Bike,
learning how to pedal will be very fast
and easy, since your child has already
learned how to balance on a bike — all it
takes is to develop the pedalling reflex.
