Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your Beeloom Berry Bike. Adult assembly is required.
- Attach the Front Fork: Insert the front fork into the head tube of the bike frame. Ensure the fork is facing forward. Secure it with the provided nuts and bolts, tightening them firmly.
- Install the Handlebar: Insert the handlebar stem into the front fork's steering tube. Adjust the handlebar to the desired height (between 55 cm and 61 cm) and ensure it is straight relative to the front wheel. Tighten the handlebar clamp bolts securely.
- Insert the Seat Post: Insert the seat post with the saddle into the seat tube of the bike frame. Adjust the seat height so that your child can comfortably place both feet flat on the ground while seated, with a slight bend in their knees. The adjustable range is 40 cm to 49 cm. Secure the seat post with the quick-release lever or bolt.
- Final Check: Before first use, double-check all connections, bolts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are tight and secure. Ensure wheels spin freely and are properly aligned.

Operating Instructions
The Beeloom Berry Bike is designed to teach children balance and steering without the complexity of pedals. Here’s how to guide your child:
- Starting Position: Ensure the child's feet are flat on the ground while seated, with knees slightly bent. This allows them to push off and stop easily.
- Walking and Gliding: Encourage your child to walk forward while seated on the bike, using their feet to propel themselves. As they gain confidence, they will naturally start to push off and glide, lifting their feet off the ground.
- Steering: Teach your child to steer by gently turning the handlebars. Emphasize looking where they want to go.
- Stopping: Children should stop by placing their feet firmly on the ground. The bike does not have brakes, so foot braking is the primary method.

Regular practice in a safe, open area will quickly build your child's balance and confidence, preparing them for a pedal bike.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Beeloom Berry Bike, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the bike clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the paint or materials.
- Inspections: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and connections for tightness. Ensure the wheels spin freely and are not wobbly.
- Tires: The EVA anti-puncture wheels require no inflation. Inspect them for any cuts or damage.
- Storage: Store the bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
