4. Setup and Assembly

The STAMP Spidey Running Bike comes mostly pre-assembled. Only minor adjustments are typically required to ensure a proper fit for your child.

4.1. Adjusting Handlebars

1. Loosen the quick-release lever or bolt at the base of the handlebars.
2. Adjust the handlebar height so that the child can comfortably reach the grips with a slight bend in their elbows while standing over the bike.
3. Ensure the handlebars are aligned straight with the front wheel.
4. Tighten the quick-release lever or bolt securely.

4.2. Adjusting Saddle Height

1. Loosen the quick-release lever or bolt on the seat post clamp.
2. Adjust the saddle height so that the child can place both feet flat on the ground with a slight bend in their knees while seated. This allows them to push off and stop easily.
3. Ensure the saddle is facing forward.
4. Tighten the quick-release lever or bolt securely.

Important: After any adjustment, double-check that all components are firmly secured to prevent movement during use.

5. Operating Instructions

The STAMP Spidey Running Bike is designed for intuitive use, focusing on developing balance.

1. Starting: Have the child stand over the bike with both feet flat on the ground. Encourage them to walk forward while holding the handlebars.
2. Gliding: As the child gains confidence, they will naturally start to push off with their feet and lift them, gliding for short distances.
3. Steering: Teach the child to gently turn the handlebars to steer. The limited steering angle helps prevent sharp turns and loss of control.
4. Stopping: Instruct the child to place their feet flat on the ground to stop.
5. Practice: Encourage practice in a safe, open, flat area away from obstacles.

Always supervise your child and ensure they are comfortable and confident before allowing them to ride independently.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of the running bike.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and components with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are tight. Loose fasteners can lead to instability and potential hazards.
• Tires: The EVA solid tires are puncture-proof and require no inflation. Inspect them for excessive wear or damage.
• Bearings: The ABEC 5 bearings are generally maintenance-free. If you notice any grinding or resistance in the wheels, contact customer support.
• Storage: Store the bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Saddle or Handlebars Slip: Ensure the quick-release levers or bolts are fully tightened. If they continue to slip, check for any obstructions or wear on the clamping surfaces.
• Wheels Not Spinning Freely: Check for any debris caught in the wheel axles or bearings. If the issue persists, the bearings might be damaged and require professional inspection.
• Bike Feels Unstable: Verify that all assembly steps were followed correctly and all fasteners are secure. Ensure the child's feet can comfortably reach the ground.
• Missing Parts: If any parts were missing upon unboxing, please contact customer support immediately.
