Step-by-Step Installation
- Prepare the Axle: Remove the rear axle nut and any locking mechanisms from the rear bike frame. For the left side of the bicycle, it is not necessary to remove the rear wheel.
- Install Axle Extender: Insert the washer and then the extension bolt onto the rear bike axle of the frame. Tighten it securely with a wrench.
- Assemble Brackets: Determine the appropriate mounting hole on the main auxiliary bracket based on your wheel size. Insert the shoulder bolt through the wheel and secure it with a locking nut. Ensure to place the flat washer between the bracket and the locking nut.
- Attach Assembled Brackets: Insert the rear axle extension bolt into the hole at the upper end of the main auxiliary bracket. Then, attach the assembled upper and lower brackets to the axle extender. Tighten them securely with a wrench.
- Adjust Height: Adjust the height of the assembled bracket to ensure the bottom of the training wheel is approximately 0.7 inches (15mm) from the ground. Securely tighten the nut.
- Repeat for Other Side: Repeat the entire process for the other side of the bicycle.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Moshay Adult Bike Stabilizers provide additional support for riders. Proper operation ensures safety and effectiveness.
- Height Adjustment: Ensure both stabilizer wheels are set to the correct height. The main bicycle wheel should slightly touch the ground, allowing the stabilizers to provide balance without lifting the main wheel too high.
- Pre-Ride Check: Always check all bolts and nuts for tightness before each ride. Loose components can compromise stability and safety.
- Riding Surface: For optimal safety and to build confidence, ride on relatively flat and even surfaces, especially during initial use.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your Moshay Adult Bike Stabilizers and ensure continued safe operation.
- Regular Inspection: Routinely inspect all bolts, nuts, and connections for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately.
- Cleanliness: Keep the training wheels and brackets clean from dirt, mud, and debris. Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed.
- Lubrication: Apply a small amount of bicycle-specific lubricant to the wheel axles if you notice any squeaking or stiffness.
- Storage: Store the stabilizers in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion when not in use or if removed from the bike.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Moshay Adult Bike Stabilizers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Stabilizers are Wobbly or Unstable: Ensure all bolts, especially those connecting to the bike axle and the adjustable brackets, are securely tightened. Re-check the height adjustment to ensure the main wheel is slightly off the ground (approx. 0.7 inches / 15mm).
- Difficulty Turning: If the training wheels are angled inwards or outwards due to an uneven frame, this can impede turning. Verify that your bike frame is compatible as per the compatibility section and that the installation is straight and even.
- Bolts Stripping or Loosening: Use appropriate tools and avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads. If threads are stripped, replacement parts may be needed. For added security on critical bolts, consider using a thread-locking compound.
- Wheels Not Touching Ground Evenly: Re-adjust the height of each stabilizer arm independently to ensure both wheels make consistent contact with the ground simultaneously when the bike is upright.
- Product Appears Bent or Damaged: Inspect the product for any signs of bending or damage upon arrival or after use. If significant damage is present, contact customer support for assistance.
