Junior 20 owner manual
A responsible adult should check fit, brakes, tyres and riding conditions. Choose a safe supervised area, with a correctly fitted helmet. Child fit must be confirmed by a test ride, not height alone.

First use and fit
The shop states that bikes are assembled and checked for collection. Verify size, saddle position and safe operation with staff before riding. Rider-height guidance is indicative and cannot replace a fit check.
Before every ride
- Check that both brakes stop the bicycle reliably before joining traffic.
- Check the tyres for damage and inflation. Use the pressure range printed on the actual tyre sidewall, not an assumed universal value.
- Check that wheels and other visible fasteners are secure, with no unusual looseness or damage.
- Check the steering, saddle and controls for secure fit and comfortable reach.
- Check lights and reflectors where required for the conditions; check any carried load is secure.
If brakes, steering, wheels, folding joints or electrical parts appear unsafe, do not ride. Ask a qualified bicycle mechanic to inspect the bike.
Young rider guidance
Supervision, a properly fitted helmet and an appropriately sized bicycle are essential. A responsible adult must check brakes and steering before use. Avoid traffic or terrain beyond the child’s ability.
Care and maintenance
- Clean with a soft cloth and gentle products; avoid pressure washing bearings and electrical connections.
- Keep the chain clean and lubricated appropriately, wiping off excess lubricant.
- Inspect tyres, brakes and drivetrain regularly, especially after wet rides or heavy use.
- After a crash, impact or suspected component damage, stop riding until the bicycle has been checked.
- Do not use unverified torque values, replacement parts or adjustments. Have a workshop confirm component-specific instructions.
Common issues
| Brake feels weak or rubs | Do not ride until braking is safe. Ask a workshop to check pad wear, alignment and the correct brake type. |
|---|---|
| Gears skip or chain slips | Reduce load, stop safely, check for obvious damage and arrange a drivetrain adjustment. |
| Tyre repeatedly loses air | Inspect the tyre and inner tube or seek a puncture repair. Do not ride on a flat tyre. |
| Wheel, frame or steering damaged | Stop riding and have the affected parts examined before use. |

For unknown component specifications, including torque settings, tyre pressures, brake-fluid type and charging limits, ask qualified staff rather than using an invented setting.
