Assembly Steps:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Handlebar Installation: Insert the handlebar stem into the fork tube. Ensure the handlebar is straight and tighten the stem bolt securely.
3. Front Basket Attachment: Attach the front basket to the handlebars using the provided straps or clips.
4. Pedal Installation: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. The left pedal tightens counter-clockwise, and the right pedal tightens clockwise. Thread them carefully into the crank arms and tighten with the wrench.
5. Seat Post Adjustment: Insert the seat post into the frame. Adjust the seat height to ensure the rider's feet can touch the ground comfortably when seated. Secure the quick-release lever or bolt.
6. Training Wheels (Optional): If using, attach the training wheels to the rear axle. Ensure they are at an appropriate height to provide stability without preventing the rear wheel from making contact with the ground.
7. Final Checks: Before the first ride, double-check all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers for tightness. Ensure brakes are functional and tires are properly inflated.
