GENERAL INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT!
Before a child rides his/her new bike, it is essential that a responsible adult/parent
thoroughly reads the owner’s manual and ensures the child understands all the
safety information.
Please make sure your SCOTT bike is completely assembled by your authorized
SCOTT dealer.
This is very important as it guarantees that your bike is set up correctly and
optimizes performance and safety.
It is important to understand the basics of riding a bicycle in addition to exercising
common sense when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport and requires reacting to
varying situations. Like any sports, cycling involves risk of injury and damage.
By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk.
IMPORTANT!
Please use the bike of your choice only for the purpose it was made for.
If you have questions or problems regarding your new SCOTT bicycle, please contact
your Authorised Dealer.
Ride Frequently!
SAFETY
LEGAL ADVICE
Your new kids bike meets (as a complete equipped model) all demands of the traffic
law standards and is allowed to be used in public streets.
It is obligatory that your child has reached the age of 8 years, otherwise he/she
should use the sidewalk which is legal up to 10 years of age. Please check your
national laws regarding this point!
USE OF THE BIKES
Maximum load of the bike must not exceed 50 kg.
The carrier (when supplied with the bike) is made for a maximum load of 20 kg. In
general we recommend not to use the carrier on kids bikes for load transports due to
the reduced riding performance. SCOTT kids bikes are built to be very robust, jumps
or riding on stairways however exceed normal use.
AVOIDING HAZARDS
When producing your SCOTT kids bike we only select high quality parts that offer
safety under all riding situations. This is very important when participating in public
traffic. Maximize safety by avoiding dangerous situations:
- Ensure your child is well experienced in cycling when riding in public traffic. Please
be reminded that your child needs some time to get used to his/her new bike. In
addition, children are allowed to ride on the sidewalk up to an age of 10 years.
- To react in the right way on public streets it is important for your child to know
about the traffic laws.
- Do not stress your child. It might happen that other participants in traffic,
especially cars, will make feel him/her unsure. Please familiarize your child on how
to ride in a parking ground before participating in traffic.

tension on bikes without rear derailleurs. For the assembly of the optional training
wheels for 12” and 16” bikes please follow these instructions:
CHAIN TENSION
If the chain needs to be tensioned again, release nut A on both sides and pull the rear
wheel straight backward until the tension is ok.
Retighten nut A on both sides. Please note the tightening torque in the Tightening
Torques table at the end of this manual.
BRAKES
Your new bike is equipped with two brakes which work independently of each other.
If you can pull the brakelever more than half of its way to the handlebar, you should
readjust the brake. To do so, please follow these steps:
5mm allen key
tightening torque :
6-8 Nm (52-69 in. lbs.)
inner cable lead
Spring tension
adjustment screw
Spring tension
adjustment screw
Depress lever
about 10 times
1. On one side of the rear wheel release nut
A and remove it including the washer.
2. Put part B in part C and fix it with nut
A with the washer between nut A
and part C
3. Assemble the bolt and nuts/washers to
fix the wheel on part B as shown
4. The long sleeved hole D will help you to
balance the bike while you assemble the
bike parts on the the other side using the
instructions mentioned above.
5. Both training wheels should have a
distance of 1–1.5cm to the ground when
the bike is balanced on its wheels. After
balancing the bike please tighten the
wheel fixing nuts and the counter nuts.
V-BRAKE
1. While holding the shoe against the rim,
tighten the shoe fixing nut.
2. Pass the inner cable through the inner
cable lead, and after setting so that the

CALIPER BRAKE
Release counter nut A and turn adjustment screw B counter clockwise until the
distance between brake pads and rims is approx. 2mm on each side. Tighten
counter nut A.
- In case adjustment screw B is released already to the limit, please release cable
clamping screw C and turn adjustment screw clockwise to its original position.
- Close the caliper brake with your hand to the rim , adjust the brake cable and
tighten clamping screw C. Please note the table of tightening torques at the end of
this file.
- Finally make the fine tuning with adjustment screw B as mentioned above. The
wheel needs to spin free without touching the brake pads. Fix counter nut A.
BICYCLE HELMET AND CLOTHING
- Please take care that your child wears clothing with bright colors and, if possible,
with reflective stripes or fabrics.
- A helmet that fits is the best way to avoid head injuries. The helmet should meet
DIN EN 1078 and should have the CE label. By choosing bright colors it will help
to improve the visibility. Wearing such a helmet should be matter of course for all
cyclists. In addition consider to be a good example for children.
REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE OR BENT PARTS
In case the bike is damaged by a crash or accident, please replace all damaged parts
immediately at your local SCOTT dealer. Never try to repair bent parts, they might
fail and cause an accident!
BEFORE RIDING
In the beginning the seat height should be adjusted in that way that your child, when
sitting on the saddle, can reach the ground with both feet. When more experienced
the saddle can be raised up into perfect riding position.
IMPORTANT!
Never exceed the seatpost and stem over the marked area. Otherwise the
connection can get loosen and can cause in worst case a crash.
Please check that your child can reach easily the handlebar and use brake- and
shifting levers as well as the bell.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
The traffic laws demand that one checks all functions that concern safety. Check
every brake when starting to ride. Also check the function of front and rear light and
check the air pressure of the tyres.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the brake works perfectly.
IMPORTANT!
Under wet conditions the brake performance can decrease which will result in a
prolongation of the braking distance.
LIGHT SYSTEMS
- light the front and rear lights by the beginning of the dusk. To switch on the
dynamo press with the thumb on the button. But never while riding! To check the
function of front and rear light turn the raised front wheel.
- Under wet conditions the effectiveness of the dynamo may decrease.

BICYCLE CARE
In order to keep the function and optic of the bike in good condition we recommend
periodical bicycle care.
Doing so keeps the value of the bike and helps to prevent from corrosion or other
damages:
- clean with soft brush, water and soft towel. Do not use high pressure cleaner,
otherwise bearings, color or decals can be damaged.
- Do not use aggressive cleaning additives
- Repair color damages at once
- Grease or oil all metal parts especially during winter use
Please use biodegradable bicycle cleaners and degreasers which are offered at your
local dealer.
SPARE PARTS FOR YOUR SCOTT BIKE
For buying spare parts we strongly recommend to visit your local SCOTT dealer as
he knows best which parts will fit to your bike and can help you to make your choice
of parts matching to your bike.
By doing so, you can avoid a combination of parts that might not match to each
other. Please only use original spare parts as only these can guarantee optimum
function and safety while riding.
This is extremely important on parts of the brake system, the tire and air tube. Never
use adapter solutions to fix or assemble brakes, seat/seatpost and stem/handle bar!
