FAQs

What age is this bicycle suitable for?

This bicycle is suitable for children aged 3 years and up.

What is the height range for this bike?

The recommended child height range is 85 to 110 cm.

How does the fixed rear wheel system work?

With a fixed rear wheel, the pedals are directly connected to the rear wheel. When the child stops pedalling forward, the bike continues to coast. To slow down or stop, they need to pedal backwards slightly.

Can I remove the stabilisers?

Yes, the stabilisers are removable. Once your child gains confidence and balance, you can detach them to allow for independent cycling.

What are the advantages of EVA tyres?

EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) tyres are puncture-proof, meaning they won't go flat like traditional pneumatic tyres. They are also lightweight and require no inflation, making them low-maintenance.

How do I adjust the saddle height?

Loosen the seat post clamp, slide the saddle to the desired height, and then tighten the clamp securely. Ensure the child can place the balls of their feet on the ground while seated.

Does the bike come assembled?

The bicycle typically requires some assembly. Please refer to the provided instruction manual for detailed steps on setup.

Troubleshooting

Bike does not stop when pedalling stops.

This is normal for the fixed rear wheel system. To stop, the child needs to pedal backwards slightly. Ensure they understand this mechanism.

Stabilisers wobble or do not provide adequate support.

Ensure the stabilisers are securely fastened and adjusted to the correct height, providing a stable base without lifting the rear wheel off the ground during straight riding.

Brakes seem ineffective.

Check the brake pads for wear and ensure they are properly aligned with the wheel rim. Adjust the brake cable tension if necessary. For the fixed rear wheel, ensure the child understands to pedal backwards to stop.

Handlebars or saddle are loose.

Tighten the clamping bolts for the handlebars and saddle post. Ensure they are adjusted to the correct height before fully securing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adjustable saddle and handlebars accommodate growing children.

Cons

  • Fixed rear wheel requires pedalling backwards to stop, which differs from freewheel bikes.
  • EVA tyres may offer less grip on wet surfaces compared to pneumatic tyres.

  2. Attach the front wheel, handlebars, saddle, and pedals.
  3. Install the removable stabilisers, ensuring they are set at the correct height to provide support.
