Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of this RUKY vehicle. You
have acquired a quality product that will certainly give you
great pleasure.
This manual contains information on the safe use of your
vehicle and its care. Please read these information care-
fully before using the vehicle for the rst time and keep in
a safe place for future reference! Failure to observe the in-
formation contained in this manual may impair the safety of
your child. Should you have any questions, please contact
your dealer or contact us via our website www.ruky.de.
Warnings!
In order to prevent accidents or injuries occuring later, the
assembly must be carried out very carefully by an adult.
Take sucient time to do this. Several assembly steps
require manual skill and practise in handling tools (e.g.
spanner). If you are unsure, then please contact your
specialist dealer or a workshop.
This toy has potentially some sharp edges. Use only in
suitable terrain with no obstacles and level surface. This
vehicle does not comply with the requirements of German
Road Trac Regulations (StVZO).
Adjustment
Adjust the bike to the size of the child. Adjust the saddle
so that the sole of the child‘s foot still reaches the ground if
the legs are slightly bent when driving. After adjusting the
saddle position adjust the handlebar so that the child can
easily reach the handlebar when sitting on the bike.
Please observe the minimum insertion depth marks for
saddle stem (min. 65 mm).
Balance bike with brake YES/NO?
Due to their motor skills, children who start to learn at he
the age of approx. 2,5 years to ride a balance bike are
not able to stop such a vehicle by themselves with the
handbrake. There is a risk that supervising persons may
be persuaded in believing in a „non-existing safety“ and
therefore do not pay enough attention to the novice drivers,
because the balance bike is tted with a brake.
Observations reveal that driving the balance bike gives
children great fun for a long time. For this group of advan-
ced drivers it makes sense to t one model with a brake
system suitable for children. But these young riders still
need the attention of grown ups.
For some models the brake system can be retrotted as
a „spare parts kit“ by the specialist dealers.
Liability
The legal liability for material defects applies. Damages
caused by inappropriate use, the eects of force, insuf-
cient maintenance or due to normal wear and tear are
excluded from the liability of material defects.
Parents’ responsibility
Risks during play are, for the most part, excluded when
used in accordance with the intended purpose. However,
please take into consideration that unforeseen situations
and hazards may occur as a result of the natural need for
movement and the temperament of young children and
adolescents for which the manufacturer cannot be held
liable. Teach children and teenagers how to use the vehicle
correctly, in order to avoid falls and collisions.
Type label
The type label is located underneath the frame. Please re-
cord the information on the identication plate in the cycle
passport at the end of this manual so that you have all the
information you need in the event of any questions or when
ordering spare parts.
Maintenance and care
Before use, check all parts for possible wear as well as
screw connections for proper seating. Self-tightening nuts
are hard to loosen and must be replaced after complete
disassembly!
Pay special attention that the handlebar and the saddle
are secure and cannot be rotated! Check the tire pressure
at regular intervals (the prescribed pressure is indicated
on the sides of the tires). As with car tires there is a risk of
local decolouration or staining of the natural rubber when
the bike rests on its wheels in the same position for a long
time. Take the necessary precautions to avoid this.
In order to maintain the high, design-specied safety levels,
all worn or defective parts are to be immediately replaced
by original RUKY spare parts. For safety reasons, the
vehicle should not be used until it has been fully repaired.
Bent or deformed parts should not be repaired but instead
should be replaced.
Spare parts: Tires (incl. inner tubes), handlebar grips,
brake, elastomer (LR RIDE).
The vehicle may not be cleaned with a high-pressure
cleaner. Clean the vehicle using a mild soapy solution
and carefully wipe dry using a soft cloth. Keep the vehicle
away from corrosion-promoting materials (road salt, sea
water, fertiliser). The vehicle may not be stored in damp
conditions.
Unpacking and scope of delivery
Do not use any sharp objects when opening the packaging
and removing protective material. By doing so, you may
damage the paint or parts of the vehicle.
Check that the delivery is complete and undamaged. If
anything is missing, please contact your dealer before you
start to assemble the vehicle.
Small parts which are required during assembly (e.g.
screws and washers) must be kept out of the reach of
small children. Also keep all packaging materials away
from children. There is a danger of suocation as a result
of swallowing the parts.
In some cases, it is necessary to tighten screws with a
prescribed torque. This torque value is stated in Newtons
(e.g. 2 Nm). If the torque with which a screw is tightened is
too low, the connection may still be too loose and therefore
unsafe. If the torque is too high, screws and other parts
may be damaged or destroyed.

Turn the handlebar by 90° and turn the front wheel in riding direction. Make sure that the fork is properly
aligned: Align the marks „R“ and „L“ on the fork in the respective riding direction Right and Left. Use the
cap screw (adjusting screw) to adjust the headset so that it is smooth and without any play. The handlebar may
not wiggle. Then tighten the side screws (2) (5-8 Nm).

To adjust the height of the handlebar, first loosen both
screws on the handlebar (1). Then fully unscrew the
cap screw (2) and pull the handlebar and the two spac-
er rings in an upward direction. The spacer rings can
be positioned individually above or below the handle-
bar. To fasten, proceed in reverse order. Please make
sure that you do not lose any parts of the headset
and that the handlebar is mounted in the right di-
rection.
After loosening the saddle clamp, you can pull out the
saddle (observe minimum insertion depth!). Then
retighten (5-8 Nm).

The brake on this bike has already been installed
and adjusted by PUKY.
After loosening the saddle clamp, you can pull out the
saddle (observe minimum insertion depth!). Then
retighten (5-8 Nm).
Only for model LR Ride. When tightening the screw
beneath the bike, the suspension effect of the elasto-
mer may be slightly reduced (more rigid). This suspen-
sion becomes more flexible when untightening. When
adjusting, please make sure that there is no play
between the swing arm and the screw.

Now centre the brake arms by turning the adjusting screw. You will need a crosstip screwdriver for this. It is important that
the brake levers are actuated several times so that the tension of the brake arms is evenly distributed to both sides and the
settings take eect. The brake/rim contact must be identical on both sides.

nut (A) so that each brake pad maintains a distance of
1.5 mm to the rim. If an adjustment needs to be made,
the protruding wire end should then be refastened
to the brake.

Make sure that the brake pads are parallel to each other
and that they are properly aligned with the rim. This means
that the brake pads should rest 1 mm below the top edge
of the rim. If these settings are not correct, loosen the
fastening nut of the brake pad (1) and align as described
above. To do so, pull the brake lever and re-tighten the
fastening nut (5-8 Nm).
