Operating Modes
The Liki Trike S3 features a 5-in-1 design, adapting to your child's growth and developmental stages:
1. Parent Mode (Approx. 10-18 Months)
In this mode, the trike functions like a stroller, with the parent in full control of steering. The backrest is reclined for comfort, and the child's feet rest on the footrest. The canopy provides sun protection.

2. Push Mode (Approx. 18-24 Months)
Similar to Parent Mode, but the child may begin to engage with the handlebars, though the parent still maintains primary steering control. The footrest remains in use.
3. Tricycle Mode (Approx. 24-30 Months)
The child can now use the pedals, and the parent can disengage the steering lock to allow the child more control. The parent-control bar can still be used for assistance.

4. Bike Mode (Approx. 30-36 Months)
The parent-control bar is removed, and the child has full control of steering and pedaling, using the trike as a standalone tricycle.
