Troubleshooting
Bike won't roll smoothly
Check tire pressure and inflate to the recommended level. Ensure wheels and pedals spin freely without obstruction. Inspect the chain for any debris or dryness and lubricate if necessary.
Brakes are not effective
Adjust the brake cable tension to ensure the brake pads are making firm contact with the wheel rim when the levers are pulled. Check that the brake pads are not excessively worn.
Training wheels wobble or are loose
Tighten the bolts securing the training wheels to the frame. Ensure they are set at the correct height to provide stability without lifting the main wheel.
Handlebars or saddle are loose
