Assembly Steps

Step A: Handlebar Installation (Part 1)

Insert the handlebar stem into the fork, aligning the bolt. Ensure the correct orientation.

Step B: Handlebar Installation (Part 2)

Attach the handlebar to the stem using four 4mm hex bolts. Tighten securely.

Step C: Handlebar Alignment Check

Ensure the handlebar is centered and aligned with the front wheel. Check the torque specifications.

Step D: Handlebar Clamp Adjustment

Loosen the handlebar clamp bolts. Adjust the handlebar position. Tighten the bolts sequentially.

Step E: Handlebar Tightening Sequence

Tighten the handlebar clamp bolts in a cross pattern (1-3-2-4) to ensure even pressure. Use a torque wrench to achieve the specified torque (5.2 Nm).

Step F: Visual Check of Handlebar Clamp

Visually inspect the handlebar clamp to ensure it is properly seated and secured. Avoid overtightening.

Step G: Final Handlebar Torque

Using a torque wrench, tighten the handlebar bolts to 5.2 Nm. Listen for the clicking sound of the torque wrench to confirm correct torque.

Step H: Steering System Check

Ensure the steering system rotates smoothly. Check for any looseness or binding. Perform a 360-degree rotation check.

Step J: Final Handlebar Alignment

Check the final alignment of the handlebars with the front wheel. Ensure it is straight and secure.

Step K: Handlebar Final Tightening

Re-check the torque on the handlebar bolts using the torque wrench, ensuring they are tightened to 5.2 Nm.

Step L: Seat Adjustment

Adjust the seat height by loosening the seat post clamp and sliding the seat to the desired position. Tighten the clamp securely.

Step M: Seat Post Tightening

Ensure the seat post is tightened correctly using the 5mm hex wrench, applying the specified torque (180° x 3 turns).

Step N: Height Adjustment and Safety Check

Adjust the seat height so the child can comfortably place their feet flat on the ground with a slight bend in their knees. Ensure all bolts are secure.

Step O: Saddle Check

Ensure the saddle is securely attached and properly aligned.

Step P: Bike Orientation for Maintenance

The image shows the bike in an upside-down position, which is a common way to perform maintenance.

Step Q: Rear Wheel Check (Brake Adjustment)

Check the rear wheel and ensure the brake is functioning correctly. Use a 15mm box wrench if adjustments are needed.

Step R: Front Wheel Check (Brake Adjustment)

Check the front wheel and ensure the brake is functioning correctly. Use a 4mm hex wrench if adjustments are needed.

Step S: Pedal Check

Ensure the pedals are securely attached and check their rotation. Use a 5mm hex wrench for tightening.

Step T: Tire Inflation

Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure: 35 P.S.I (240KPa) (2.4 BAR). Use a tire pump.

Step U: Height Check (Child Fit)

Ensure the child can comfortably reach the ground with their feet flat when sitting on the saddle, with a slight bend in their knees. This is approximately 30cm (1 foot) from the ground to the seat.

Step V: Listening for Loose Parts

Listen for any clunking or rattling noises, which may indicate loose parts. If such noises are heard, check all bolts and connections.
