This bike is equipped with a coaster brake for simple and intuitive stopping. To engage the brake, pedal backward. This system is designed to help young riders learn to stop effectively.

Training Wheels:
The 14-inch model includes training wheels to assist beginners in developing balance. Once your child gains confidence and balance, the training wheels can be removed.
Safety Guidelines:
- Always wear a helmet when riding.
- Ensure all bolts and quick releases are tightened before each ride.
- Ride in safe, open areas away from traffic.
- Supervise young children while they are riding.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your AVASTA Kids Bike.
- Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure before each ride. Maintain the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) indicated on the tire sidewall.
- Chain Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the chain with bicycle-specific chain lubricant to ensure smooth pedaling and prevent rust.
- Brake Inspection: Regularly check the coaster brake for proper function. If the brake feels loose or ineffective, consult a bicycle mechanic.
- Bolt Tightness: Inspect all bolts and fasteners, especially on the handlebars, seat post, and wheels, to ensure they are securely tightened.
- Cleaning: Clean the bike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing, which can damage bearings and other components.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pedals are loose or fall off. | Incorrect installation or insufficient tightening. | Ensure pedals are installed on the correct side (R for right, L for left) and tightened securely (right clockwise, left counter-clockwise). |
| Bike feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose handlebar, seat, or wheel bolts; improperly installed training wheels. | Check and tighten all visible bolts. Ensure training wheels are level and securely attached. |
| Coaster brake is not stopping effectively. | Internal mechanism issue or worn components. | This typically requires professional service. Contact AVASTA customer support or a qualified bike mechanic. |
| Tires frequently go flat. | Puncture, valve stem issue, or low tire pressure. | Inspect tires for punctures. Check valve stem for leaks. Maintain correct tire pressure. Replace inner tube if punctured. |
