ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS:
Always check and obey any local laws or regulaons, which may aect the loca-
ons where the stability cycle may be used. Keep safely away from cars and motor
vehicle trac at all mes, and only use where allowed and with cauon. Never
ride your STACYC Stability Cycle on public streets, roads, highways, at night or when
visibility is limited.
Do not acvate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the stability cy-
cle and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. The maximum speed of the
bike is limited by the selected power mode (See Throle Operaon secon below).
Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Maintain a grip on
the handlebars with both hands at all mes. Do not touch the brake or motor on your
stability cycle when in use or immediately aer riding, as these parts can become very
hot. Ride defensively. Watch out for potenal obstacles that could catch your wheel or
force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, skat-
ers, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who may enter your path, and
respect the rights and property of others. These stability cycles are intended for use
on at, dry surfaces, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel. Wet,
slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair tracon and contribute to possible
accidents. Do not ride your stability cycle through mud, over ice, through puddles, in
wet or icy weather and never immerse or wash the stability cycle with water, as the
electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possi-
bly unsafe condions. Never use near steps or swimming pools. Avoid sharp bumps,
drainage grates, and sudden surface changes. Do not aempt or do stunts or tricks on
your stability cycle. These stability cycles are not made to withstand abuse from mis-
use, such as jumping, curb grinding or any other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or
other maneuvers also enhance risk of loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider
acons or reacons. Never allow more than one person at a me to ride the stability
cycle. Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited. Never use headphones, a cell
phone or text when riding. Never risk damaging surfaces, such as carpet or ooring,
by use of a stability cycle indoors. Never tow anything or anyone with or allow your
STACYC Stability Cycle to be towed by any other person or vehicle, motorized or not.
POWERED & ROTATING PARTS WARNING:
Never operate the stability cycle without the side panels and chain guard properly
installed. Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar arcles to
come in contact with any rotang or moving parts, wheels, or drive train components
and chain while the motor is running or while the wheels and res are rotang.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE:
Always wear proper protecve equipment, such as an approved and properly t-
ted safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled), eye protecon, athlec shoes
(lace-up shoes with rubber soles) elbow pads and kneepads. Keep shoelaces ed and
out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. Never ride barefooted or in
sandals. Long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and gloves are recommended. Furthermore,
a helmet may be required by local law or regulaon in your area. Your child’s brain is
their most valuable asset, MAKE THEM WEAR AN APPROVED, PROPERLY FITTED AND
BUCKLED HELMET!
THE STARTING PROCESS: SIT, PUSH, COAST, BRAKE, PRACTICE
(Perform under adult supervision, wearing protecve equipment, in an open and
safe area)
Non-powered training: (Turn Power Switch to the “OFF” posion and remove baery)
1. Sit on bike with feet on ground. Familiarize rider with seat, foot plaorm,
brake(s), handlebars , throle and their funcon.
2. Push bike around with feet on ground learning balance and condence.
3. Coast and pracce controlled turning with feet on plaorm.
4. Brake to a safe stop using hand brake while maintaining control.
5. Pracce standing and stopping while maintaining control without falling.
Powered Mode Qualifying Checklist:
Can rider push and coast safely with feet on plaorm?
Can rider maintain control while on standing on plaorm?
Can rider control bike from start to stop?
Can rider use hand brake to stop on command?
Can rider coast and turn while navigang mild hills and obstacles?
Has rider demonstrated enough control to move to powered riding
without being a risk to themselves and others?
If so move to Powered Mode training!
Power Mode :
• Training Mode:
1. Turn Power Switch to the “OFF” posion.
2. Install Baery.
3. Turn Power Switch to the “ON” posion.
4. Ensure RED LED is lit, indicang “Training Mode” selected. If
not see Throle operaon and Changing Power Mode
secons in this manual.
5. Have child carefully push STACYC forward and pracce slightly
twisng throle learning to feel the STACYC beginning to
move forward under power.
6. With feet on ground have child progressively increase throle
use unl moving forward balancing on their own.
7. Have child pracce rolling throle on and o as well as safe
stops with hand brake.
8. As child gains balance and demonstrates throle and brake
skills, advance to riding with feet on the plaorm.
9. Coach child to maintain a safe distance from obstacles and
other riders.
