Disclaimer

For supervised youth fitness only. Not medical equipment. Adult supervision is required during every session. Confirm the child fits the 18 inch stride and can reach the pedals and handlebars safely. Always consult a pediatric clinician before starting an exercise plan for a child, especially if they have heart, joint, respiratory, neurological, or metabolic concerns, recent surgery, or use medication. Stop use at once if the child feels dizzy, short of breath, or experiences pain. Keep fingers, clothing, and hair away from moving parts. Use within the 250 lb weight limit and follow all assembly, safety, and maintenance instructions in the user manual.
