Frames
Your tryke is shipped with the front wheel already attached to the main frame. Start assembling your tryke by first sliding the
seat post bracket onto the main frame. Seat post bracket needs to be situated on the right hand side of tryke—this leave room
for a rear steering kit.
Put the two seat post bracket knobs into their holes but do not completely tighten the knobs (that is done when the tryke is
adjusted for the rider).
To attach the frames, slide the rear frame onto the main frame.
NOTE: The two seat post bracket knob holes should be on the bottom left side of the tryke.

5 and 6 mm Allen wrench (incl.)

Loading brake is used to help transition rider on/off the tryke safely and easily. To install the loading brake, slide it on the rod on
the rear frame. You may need to remove plastic cap located on top—remember to replace when loading brake is installed.
Tighten the loading brake nuts with a 10 mm wrench or socket.
Handlebar
To install the handlebar, slide the handlebar stem into the top of the front fork. When situated properly, tighten the stem collar
at the top using the Allen wrench provided.
NOTE: Top of the loading brake should be flush with the top of
tube. Make sure that the lever is not touching the tire. The
handle needs to be in line with the tire and point toward the
front of the tryke.
WARNING: DO NOT USE LOADING

Seat
Blue bucket seat installs using the two Philips screws, four washers and two nuts you were provided with:
1. Line up the holes on the bottom of the seat with the holes on the black seat post. There are several sets of mounting
holes on the seat post—for smaller riders, position the seat forward. As the child grows, move the seat back.
2. Install/align the two Philips head screws, with washers on both top and on bottom, followed by acorn nuts. When in
place, tighten securely with an 8 mm wrench paired with Philips head screwdriver.
3. Install seatbelt by inserting the loop section over the seat post. This may require you to remove the seat post if already
installed. To install the adjustable belt, install screws in the back of the blue bucket seat with a Philips head screwdriver.
The remaining loop is to be placed inside adjustable belt as seen in picture.
WARNING: FINAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR RIDER’S SIZE MUST BE MADE FOR SEAT

Pedals
Right pedal installs on the pedal crank labeled “R” and threads clockwise to tighten and the left labeled “L” threads
counterclockwise. Hand thread until you are certain pedals are threaded properly and then use a 15 mm wrench to tighten.
Pedal Leveler Pulley
Pedal leveler pulley threads through the tubes on the bottom of each pedal:
1. Attach the pulley assembly on the back of the rear frame. Use the provided Allen head screw to secure it.
2. Start the pedal leveler cord at one pedal, thread through the pulley and then through the other pedal.
3. Pull the cord tight and either knot the end or pinch the end of the cord using the small tubing provided. Use a pair of
heavy pliers or crimping tool to compress the tube. Trim off any excess cord.
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL WHEN THREADING PEDALS. DO NOT FORCE. PEDALS THREAD EASILY WHEN INSTALLED PROPERLY.
TIP: Pedal threads tighten toward front of bike.
TIP: Pedals and pedal cranks are labeled “R” (right) and “L” (left).

Steering Pin
If needed, insert the steering pin into the front fork tube from the side. Install the adhesive hook strip to the frame to keep the
steering pin secure from loss. Three steering positions are available:
Top position: Locks steering straight.
Lower position: Limits steering to 20 degrees in either direction.
No pin: Free steering.
Jiggle the front wheel assembly as you push the pin into the hole and through the other side of the fork tube. Pin should insert
all the way to the split ring to be correctly seated. If the handlebar stem is placed too low in the fork, the steering pin will be
blocked. If so, position the stem higher; just inserting it so the hash marks on the stem are inside the fork.
NOTE: You may find it desirable to limit steering so the
rider can concentrate on learning the pedal motion first.
