Getting your Banwood bike, scooter, or trike set up correctly is key to ensuring a safe and fun ride from day one. Whether you’re assembling your first balance bike or adjusting a scooter handlebar for the tenth time, these tips will help you feel confident:
Double-check all bolts and moving parts
Before the first ride (and every few weeks after), make sure all bolts are tightened securely. This includes handlebars, wheels, seats, and push handles.
Test brakes and steering (where applicable)
For scooters and bikes with brake features, do a quick check to ensure everything engages smoothly. Also, test the handlebar movement to confirm it's stable and responsive.
Always wear a properly fitted helmet
Banwood helmets are adjustable for a snug fit — make sure the chin strap is secure and the helmet sits level across the forehead. A well-fitting helmet is your child’s best protection.
Use the Banwood carry strap when needed
Even the most energetic rider will get tired eventually! The carry strap makes it easier (and more comfortable) to carry their bike or scooter home without the awkward juggling act.
Supervise younger riders during early outings
Especially with balance bikes or trikes, it’s best to stay close during the first few rides. This helps your child feel supported and gives you peace of mind.
Ride on smooth, safe surfaces
Avoid gravel, steep hills, or wet pavement when learning to ride. A quiet footpath or park trail is perfect for early practice.
Encourage regular check-ups together
Turn a quick bike check into a fun pre-ride ritual! This teaches your child the importance of looking after their gear and builds lifelong safety habits.
