Setup and Assembly
Your Olakids Kids Bike comes 95% pre-assembled for quick and easy setup. Follow these steps to complete the assembly:
- Install Seat: Insert the seat post into the frame's seat tube. Adjust the height to the appropriate level for your child (refer to the size chart in the Specifications section) and secure it using the quick-release lever.
- Install Handlebar: Insert the handlebar stem into the fork's steerer tube. Ensure the handlebar is straight and aligned with the front wheel, then tighten the stem bolt securely.
- Install Pedals: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. The left pedal screws counter-clockwise, and the right pedal screws clockwise. Apply a small amount of grease to the threads and tighten them firmly with a wrench.
- Attach Training Wheels: If using training wheels, attach them to the rear axle according to the instructions provided in the separate training wheel manual or the bike's detailed assembly guide. Ensure they are level and provide stable support.
- Final Checks: Before the first ride, double-check all bolts and quick-release levers are securely tightened. Ensure brakes are functional and tires are properly inflated.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Seat and Handlebar
The Olakids Kids Bike is designed to grow with your child. The seat and handlebar heights are adjustable to ensure a comfortable and safe riding position.
- Seat Adjustment: Use the quick-release lever on the seat post to loosen, adjust the seat height so your child can comfortably touch the ground with their toes, then securely close the lever.
- Handlebar Adjustment: Loosen the bolt on the handlebar stem. Adjust the handlebar height so your child can reach the grips comfortably with a slight bend in their elbows. Ensure the handlebar is aligned with the front wheel before tightening the bolt firmly.

Braking System
Your bike is equipped with a dual braking system for enhanced safety and control:
- Hand Brake: Located on the right handlebar, this brake controls the front wheel. Squeeze the lever gently to slow down or stop.
- Coaster Brake: This brake is activated by pedaling backward. Push the pedals backward to engage the rear brake and slow down or stop.
Teach your child to use both brakes effectively and practice stopping in a safe area.
