Built on Apollo’s expertise and developed after ten years of pit bike experience, the Hiro Falcon 49cc combines technology and safety for young children.
Lightweight, easy to handle and safe, the Hiro Falcon 49cc is the perfect pocket bike for introducing children aged 4 to 8 (up to 1.30 m) to off-road riding. Its automatic 2-stroke 49cc engine and 3-position speed limiter combine fun, learning and safety.
This motorcycle features the latest developments available on the market:
. A 2-stroke petrol engine delivering smooth power, ideal for learning to ride
. Easy starting with the latest Easy Start recoil starter system
. A 3-position throttle restrictor that adjusts acceleration power to suit the rider
. A handlebar kill cord providing additional safety
. A robust steel double-cradle frame for increased durability
. Front and rear disc brakes for safe braking
. Chain and exhaust protection for parents’ peace of mind
To choose a vehicle suited to the child’s size, check the seat height in the product specifications and compare it with the user’s inseam length.
Recommendations and warnings
Before use, the vehicle must be fully prepared. Upon receipt, carry out the following checks:
. Tyre pressure: check and adjust according to the manual.
. Chain tension and lubrication: the chain must be slightly tensioned and lubricated before first use.
. Cable routing: check that the throttle, brake and kill-switch cables move freely without rubbing or pinching.
. Carburettor and idle adjustment: adjust using the idle screw to obtain stable engine speed without racing.
Failure to complete the initial preparation or checks may cause premature wear or a malfunction not covered by the warranty.
Starting – Easy Start recoil starter
This pocket bike is equipped with an Easy Start recoil starter designed to make starting effortless.
This mechanism amplifies the force of the arm movement and requires no violent pulling.
Pull smoothly towards your chest, without jerking, as if guiding the cable.
? Never pull sharply like you would on a brush cutter – you could break the starter immediately.
?? Important: starter breakage caused by incorrect use (a dry pull, unsuitable angle or excessive force) is not covered by the warranty under any circumstances, as it results from improper handling.
Fuel mixture and engine oil
The vehicle’s 2-stroke engine runs exclusively on a high-quality petrol/oil mixture.
Only Ipone Semi-Synthèse or 100 % Synthèse oils are approved for this model.
Any other oil (premixed, mineral or intended for garden tools or other equipment) will cause irreversible engine seizure and automatically void the warranty.
Using the correct mixture is essential for engine life and rider safety.
Mechanical adjustments
During initial preparation or in the event of an abnormality (unusual noise, smoke or the vehicle moving by itself), the idle speed must be adjusted using the screw on the carburettor.
Signs of incorrect idle adjustment:
. Engine smoking or sparking when starting
. Vehicle moving without acceleration
. Very shrill engine noise
?? In these cases, immediately lower the idle speed.
An idle speed that is too high may cause top-end seizure or premature clutch wear.
Correct engine operation depends directly on proper carburettor adjustment carried out upon receipt.
Please note that if the vehicle moves by itself, smokes around the engine or does not stop with the cord, the idle speed must be lowered using the screw on the carburettor.
If the idle speed is too high, the engine will make a very shrill noise. The idle speed must be lowered to achieve a normal engine speed. If this adjustment is not made, top-end seizure or premature clutch wear may occur. Proper operation of this type of vehicle also depends on carburettor adjustment, so it is very important to adjust the vehicle upon receipt.
Note:
. Pocket bikes are assembled, tested and then disassembled before packaging.
Minor assembly marks may therefore be visible in certain areas (handlebar clamps, hardware, brake discs, etc.).
These marks are normal and do not affect the vehicle’s safety or performance.
They cannot be grounds for a warranty claim or return.
