These are important safety checks and very important to help prevent accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened useful product life cycle of a Kuota bicycle or frameset.

Where to find the bike serial number

You can find the bike serial number on the underside of the bicycle frame, near the bottom bracket. Look for a sticker containing a barcode. This sticker will also contain a string consisting of multiple letters and numbers and beginning with KUR or KUTT. This full string or characters is the bike serial number.
