2.6. RULES OF THE ROAD
WARNING: Failure of the rider to obey the following “Rules of The Road” can result in injury to
the rider and/or to others.
• It is the responsibility of parents or guardians to ensure a child is properly instructed in the use of
this bicycle, particularly in the safe use of the braking systems (especially the back-pedal/coaster
brake).
• Obey all traffic regulations, signs, and signals.
• Always wear a bicycle helmet that meets CPSC safety standards, as well as local safety regulations.
• Always wear shoes.
• Ride on the correct side of the road, in a single file, and in a straight line.
• Bicycles 12in (30cm) and under are not intended for use on public roads.
• Avoid riding at night, dusk, dawn and any other time of poor visibility.
• Ensure all spares, (tyres, tubes, and brake pads, etc) are the same as original equipment.
• Reflectors: For your own safety, do not ride the bicycle if the reflectors are incorrectly installed,
damaged, or missing. Make sure the front and rear reflectors are vertical. Do not allow the visibility
of the reflectors to be blocked by clothing or other articles. Dirty reflectors do not work well. Clean
the reflectors, as necessary, with soap and a damp cloth.
• Use extra caution in wet weather: Ride slowly on damp surfaces because the tyres will slide more
easily. Allow increased braking distance in wet weather.

• Be aware of drain grates, soft road edges, gravel or sand, potholes or ruts, wet leaves, or uneven
surfaces.

4.0. Before Your First Ride
4.1. RIDE THE RIGHT SIZE:
Please follow the Vuly size guide below to
determine the right size bicycle for the rider.
As a rule, we recommend the following
procedure to determine the correct size of
bicycle:
• Straddle the assembled bicycle with
feet shoulder width apart and flat on
the ground.
• There must be at least 25mm (1 Inch) of
clearance between the highest part of the
top tube and the crotch of the rider with
tires properly inflated.
• The minimum leg-length for the rider
is the highest part of the top tube plus
25mm (1 Inch)
• Note: See Assembly Sections for the Seat
Adjustment Procedures.
4.2. STAY WITHIN THE WEIGHT LIMIT
Your bicycle has a weight limit. See the Use
Conditions section for general guidelines.
4.3. ADJUST YOUR SADDLE TO A
COMFORTABLE HEIGHT
If your leg is bent more than slightly, your
seat should be adjusted up. If you can’t’
reach the pedal, your seat should be
adjusted down.
To avoid damage to the seatpost or
bicycle frame, do not position the saddle
beyond the minimum insertion line on the
seatpost. If you can’t properly position your
saddle, it is advised to seek help from a
professional.
4.4. ADJUST YOUR HANDLEBAR AND
STEM TO A COMFORTABLE HEIGHT
Handlebar position is important for control
and comfort. You point the handlebar and
the bicycle follows. Please refer to the
Assembly section for more information.

5.0. Before Every Other Ride
Before riding your bicycle, perform a safety check on level ground and away from traffic. If any
part doesn’t pass the safety check, fix it or have your bicycle serviced before going riding.
5.1. PRE RIDE CHECKLIST:
○ Check the handlebar
• Make sure it is at 90 degrees to the wheel
• Check that the handlebar is tightened sufficiently so that it will not twist out of alignment and does
not rotate in the stem
• Make sure that no cables are pulled or caught when you turn the handlebar from side to side
○ Check the saddle and seatpost
• Make sure the saddle is in line with the centre of the bicycle
• Check that the saddle rails or collar is tightened sufficiently so that it will not twist out of alignment,
or move or tilt up or down.
○ Check the wheels
• Check rims and spokes for damage. Give the wheel a spin. It should spin straight through the fork
(front) and chainstays (rear), and not contact the brake pads (rim brakes).
• Check that the axles are fully seated in the dropouts.
• Lift your bicycle and hit the top of the tyre with a solid blow. The wheel should not come off, be
loose, or move from side to side.
• If your wheel is equipped with a quick-release, make sure the lever is properly closed and positioned
(in-line with the chainstay or fork) and does not interfere with the spokes or disc brake system.
○ Check the tyres
• Use a tyre pump with a gauge to properly inflate your tyres to the recommended pressure range.
Do not exceed the pressure limit as stated on the side of the tire or rim; whichever is lowest.
