Troubleshooting
Bike won't turn on
This is a non-electric bike; it does not have a power switch. Ensure the child is pushing off the ground with their feet to initiate movement.
Brakes are not effective
Check that the brake cables are properly tensioned. Adjust the brake levers or cable anchors as needed. Ensure the brake pads are aligned with the wheel rims and not worn out.
Chain is loose or noisy
The chain may require tightening or lubrication. Consult the manual for chain tension adjustment or apply a suitable bicycle chain lubricant.
Training wheels are wobbly
Ensure the bolts securing the training wheels to the frame are fully tightened. Check that the training wheels are set at the correct height to provide stability without lifting the rear wheel.
