Pedal support, not a replacement for riding skills

Electric assistance supports pedalling, but balance, braking and steering remain essential. Introduce the rider to the bike's controls in a quiet, suitable setting, following the manufacturer's instructions. Build familiarity before moving to more demanding routes.

Choose fit and control first

Use the model's size guide

Wheel diameter alone does not establish whether a bike fits a child. Check the individual model's sizing guidance and assess comfortable reach, mounting and dismounting, and access to the brakes and controls. Do not choose a substantially oversized bike simply for the rider to grow into.

Consider strength, confidence and experience

A suitable rider needs to manage the bike comfortably when riding, stopping and manoeuvring. Consider the bike's listed weight alongside fit and experience. Ask for sizing advice if you are unsure rather than relying on age alone.

Plan family rides around the rider

Start with manageable routes

Choose routes within the model's intended use and the rider's ability. Keep early rides manageable, allow time for breaks and check the bike before setting off. Adult supervision and appropriate protective equipment are important parts of introducing a young rider to an unfamiliar bike.

Check the electric system and charging instructions

Review the chosen product's motor, battery and charging information. Follow the supplied instructions for storage and charging. Assisted range varies with terrain, assistance settings, temperature, load and conditions, so avoid planning around an assumed fixed distance.
