3.1. Tricycle Mode Assembly

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify all components are present against the packing list.
2. Attach Front Fork: Secure the front fork to the main frame using the provided hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached and allows for smooth steering.
3. Install Handlebars: Insert the handlebars into the front fork and tighten the screws to secure them. Attach the basket to the handlebars using the straps.
4. Attach Seat: Insert the seat post into the designated slot on the main frame. Adjust the seat height as needed and secure it with the locking mechanism.
5. Assemble Rear Axle: Insert the long metal rod through the rear frame. Place the wooden spacers on each side of the rod.
6. Attach Rear Wheels: Slide the two rear wheels onto the ends of the rod, ensuring they are properly aligned. Secure them with the provided nuts and caps.

3.2. Converting to Balance Bike Mode

To convert from tricycle to balance bike mode:

1. Remove Rear Wheels: Unscrew and remove the nuts and caps securing the two rear wheels. Carefully slide off the wheels and wooden spacers.
2. Re-attach Single Rear Wheel: Re-insert the shorter metal rod (or the original rear axle rod if it fits) through the center of the rear frame. Attach one of the wheels to this rod, securing it with the appropriate nuts and caps. This creates a single rear wheel for balance bike mode.
3. Adjust Seat Height: Lower the seat to ensure the child's feet can comfortably touch the ground, allowing them to push off and balance.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Tricycle Mode (12 months - 2 years)

Tricycle mode provides stability for younger children who are just learning to ride. The three wheels offer support, allowing them to focus on steering and pushing with their feet.

• Foot Propulsion: Children propel the tricycle by pushing off the ground with their feet.
• Steering: Guide the handlebars to steer the tricycle.
• Seat Adjustment: Ensure the seat is adjusted so the child's feet can comfortably reach the ground.
• Basket Use: The front basket can be used to carry small toys or personal items.

4.2. Balance Bike Mode (2 - 4 years)

Balance bike mode helps older toddlers develop balance and coordination, preparing them for a two-wheeled bicycle without the need for training wheels.

• Foot Propulsion: Children push off the ground with their feet to gain momentum and glide.
• Balancing: Encourage children to lift their feet off the ground and glide, learning to balance naturally.
• Seat Adjustment: The seat height should allow the child to place their feet flat on the ground with a slight bend in the knees.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden frame and other components with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent damage to the wood.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
• Tires: The EVA tires are "never-flat" and require no inflation. Keep them clean from debris.
• Wooden Components: Inspect the wooden frame for any signs of wear, cracks, or splinters. Address any issues promptly to maintain safety.

• Difficulty Steering: Check that the handlebars are correctly installed and tightened. Ensure no debris is obstructing the steering mechanism.
• Unstable Ride: In tricycle mode, ensure all three wheels are properly attached. In balance bike mode, verify the single rear wheel is secure. Check for any uneven surfaces.
