Setup and Installation
Installing your new POPETPOP bike pedals is a straightforward process. Ensure you have the correct tools, typically a 15mm pedal wrench or an 8mm hex wrench, depending on your crank arm's pedal interface.
- Identify Left and Right Pedals: Pedals are typically marked 'L' for left and 'R' for right. The right pedal (drive side) has a standard thread, and the left pedal (non-drive side) has a reverse thread. This means the left pedal tightens counter-clockwise.
- Prepare Crank Arms: Clean the threads on your bicycle's crank arms. Applying a small amount of bicycle grease to the pedal threads is recommended to prevent seizing and make future removal easier.
- Install Right Pedal: Insert the 'R' pedal into the right crank arm. Turn clockwise by hand to start threading. Once hand-tight, use your pedal wrench to firmly tighten the pedal.
- Install Left Pedal: Insert the 'L' pedal into the left crank arm. Turn counter-clockwise by hand to start threading. Once hand-tight, use your pedal wrench to firmly tighten the pedal.
- Check Tightness: Ensure both pedals are securely tightened to prevent them from loosening during use.

Operating Instructions
These pedals feature a convenient folding mechanism and luminous elements for enhanced safety.
Folding and Unfolding the Pedals
The foldable design allows for compact storage and easier transport of your bicycle, especially in tight spaces or when loading onto vehicles.
- To Fold: Locate the release mechanism (often a button or lever) near the pedal axle. Press or pull this mechanism and gently push the pedal platform inwards towards the crank arm until it locks into the folded position.
- To Unfold: Press or pull the release mechanism again and allow the pedal platform to spring outwards until it locks securely into the riding position. Ensure the pedal is fully extended and locked before riding.

Enhanced Visibility
The pedals are equipped with a luminous part designed to increase your visibility to others, particularly in low-light conditions or at night. This feature contributes to safer cycling by making your presence more noticeable.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life and ensure the smooth operation of your POPETPOP bike pedals.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the pedals to remove dirt, mud, and debris. A damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the pedals for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Check the pedal body, axle, and the folding mechanism.
- Lubrication: While the internal bearings are sealed, a small amount of lubricant can be applied to the folding mechanism pivot points if they become stiff or noisy. Do not over-lubricate.
- Tightness Check: Before each ride, quickly check that the pedals are still securely tightened to the crank arms.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pedals feel loose or wobbly | Not tightened correctly; Worn bearings | Re-tighten pedals to crank arms. If issue persists, internal bearings may be worn and require replacement of the pedal. |
| Difficulty folding/unfolding | Dirt/debris in mechanism; Lack of lubrication | Clean the folding mechanism thoroughly. Apply a small amount of light lubricant to the pivot points. |
| Squeaking noise from pedals | Dry threads; Loose pedal; Internal bearing issue | Remove, clean, grease, and re-install pedals. Ensure they are tightened correctly. If noise persists, the internal bearings may be failing. |
