V-Brake

1. If fitted with V-Brakes, insert the brake body
into the center spring hole in the frame mounting
boss, and then secure the brake body to the frame
with the link fixing bolt.

V-Style Brakes

If not already assembled, take the brake noodle from the parts box and
slide the cable through the larger opening. The cable housing will then
seat into the end of the noodle. Slide the cable through the cable lead on
the end of the left brake boot arm; this will cause the noodle to fit into the
lead. Slip the brake cable boot over the cable and position it between both
brake arms. Next loosen the 5mm anchor bolt at the end of the right
brake arm and slide the cable under the retaining washer. Pull the slack
out of the cable making sure a distance of 39mm or more remains
between the end of the lead and the start of the anchor bolt. Once the
cable is secured to the brake arms, engage the brake lever several times,
checking the position of the brake shoes at the rim. The brake shoes
should be 1mm away from the rim when in a relaxed position. When the
brake lever is engaged, the brake shoe should hit the rim flush (never the
tire) with the front brake pad touching the rim slightly before the rear.
This is called “toeing-in” your brake shoe. If this position is not achieved,
adjustments to the brake shoe are required. Loosen the brake shoe
hardware and reposition the brake shoe. It may take several shoe and
cable adjustments before the required position is accomplished.

2. While holding the shoe against the rim, adjust the amount
of shoe protrusion by interchanging the position of the B
washers (i.e. 6 mm and 3 mm) so that dimension A is kept at
39 mm or more.

3. While holding the shoe against the rim,

Revise Date: 8/06/09 14 of 29

tighten the shoe fixing nut.

5. Adjust the balance with the spring tension adjustment
screws.

4. Pass the inner cable through the inner cable lead. Set the
cable with the clearance of 1mm between each brake pad
and the rim, tighten the cable fixing bolt.

Cable Retainer

6. Depress the brake lever about 10 times as far as the
grip to check that everything is operating correctly and
that the shoe clearance is correct before using the
brakes.

2) REAR WHEELS ASSEMBLY

a) Inflate tires to proper inflation pressure, 35 psi.
b) The 2 rear wheels are the same (black hubs with 3 holes). The right side hub has three (3) pins

that insert into wheel hub. Install the drive wheel first (right side) , add washer, and tighten the
bolt on the axle, allowing wheel to spin.

c) ** CAUTION: OVER-TIGHTENING WILL DAMAGE THE BEARINGS.
d) Put the idler wheel on the left side. First slip on the spacer, then the wheel, followed by a

washer and the locking nut. Tighten nut until it touches the bearing, do not over tighten.

e) Cover axle nuts with white plastic protectors.

Note: Right wheel (drive wheel) nut should be tighter that left wheel (idler wheel).

3) FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY (Figure 4 )
a. Loosen nuts on both sides of wheel axle.
b. Slide fork onto wheel axle. Note: Safety

washers go on outside of fork.

c. Tooth on safety washers insert into hole on the

fork.

d. Tighten nut and washer securely.
e. Follow same sequence on other side making

sure wheel is centered onto fork while
securing.

4) CHAIN TENSIONER ASSEMBLY
a. No adjustment should be needed to

the chain tensioner assembly.

b. If you decide to change the position

of the front sprocket and foot crank
assembly, you will need to use the
tensioner to adjust the chain.

c. This is accomplished by loosening

the two bolts, turning the chain
tensioner to the desired position, and
re-tightening the bolts securely.

5) SEAT POST FRAME ASSEMBLY
a) The red seat post assembly may be mounted in four (4) positions on the main frame.
b) Choose whichever set of holes will best fit the rider’s size and ability.
c) Make sure the adjustment knob is on the right side (chain side) of the frame. Use the Allen

head bolts, extra thick washers, and tighten with the 6 mm Allen wrench (included).

6) SEAT ASSEMBLY

a. The black seat bracket comes pre-assembled. Use the spring-

loaded knob to adjust the height of the seat post for your rider.
Pull on black spring loaded knob and adjust so the pin pops into
one of the holes in the seat bracket. Once you have selected the
seat height for the rider, the spring loaded knob will click into
place - then hand tighten securely. It is not necessary to remove
the seat post knob – just loosen and pull to release the pin for
adjustments.

b. Mount the saddle seat by inserting the seat clamp onto the seat post. Adjust seat to proper level.

Secure by tightening nuts evenly on both sides of seat clamp using 15 mm wrench (included).

A 9/16” wrench or socket wrench is also suitable here.

7) BASKET PLATFORM ASSEMBLY
a) Mount the black basket platform assembly

onto the rear of the frame behind the seat
using 1 ¾” bolts with nuts and washers.
The flared sides go up.

Revised 11/04/08 Page 5 of 16

b) The black metal basket bracket mounts

using the same bolts that fasten the
platform to the rear frame. It mounts to
the bottom of the frame with the small
bars facing out.

c) Mount basket into slots in bracket. Use the optional screws if basket is permanent attachment.

8) HANDLEBAR AND STEM
a) Remove black plastic cap from handle bar

stem. Insert stem of handlebar assembly into
fork head tube. **NOTE: THE STEM
MUST BE INSERTED INTO THE FORK
HEAD TUBE TO AT LEAST THE
MINIMUM INSERTION LINE

Revised 11/04/08 Page 6 of 16

b) Secure stem by tightening stem expander bolt

(located under the gray plastic cover at top of
stem – check in plastic bag for small gray
plastic cap) using a 6mm Allen wrench
(included). Be sure to center stem with the
front wheel. Replace gray plastic cover.

c) Loosen the 2 hex head screws

located on the top of stem and
remove handlebar clamp. Place
the handlebars on the stem and
replace the handlebar clamp.

Revised 11/04/08 Page 7 of 16

d) Tighten 2 hex head screws at top of stem to tighten Handlebar

clamp.

e) Use quick release levers to adjust handle bar position and

tighten securely.

11) PEDALS . NOTE: there is a right and left pedal

indicated by an L or R on the end of each pedal axle.

a) Mount left pedal onto left crank arm. Left pedal

tightens left. (towards the front of the tryke) Mount right pedal
onto right crank arm. Right pedal tightens right.(towards the
front of the tryke). Use 15mm wrench to tighten.

**NOTE: BE CAREFUL WHEN THREADING PEDALS.
DO NOT FORCE!! PEDALS THREAD EASILY WHEN
INSTALLED PROPERLY.

b) Pedals adjust to size. Length can be shortened or
lengthened to fit foot. Position of pedal over axle can also
be adjusted. Use the quick release wrench slotted end to
easily loosen and tighten wing nuts.

12 PEDAL LEVELER ASSEMBLY

a) Screw pulley block assembly into hole in black basket platform. Thread cord through left side

pedal from inside, then through the pulley on pulley block assembly and into rear of right
pedal.

b) Pull snug until pedals remain level and crimp copper stop at appropriate spot on cord.

(Alternately, tie knot in cord to appropriate length.)

13 SEAT BACK SUPPORT ASSEMBLY

a) Slide the chrome seat back support assembly onto the

black seat support bracket. Tighten with the black knob
that thread into bottom corner of the bracket.

b) Make sure the padded seat back can slide up and down

the assembly. Position it where desired and tighten with
the two knobs on the back.

Revised 11/04/08 Page 9 of 16

c) Mount brackets for the Lateral supports if

desired.

d) Lateral supports slide into brackets and tighten

with cam levers. NOTE: LATERAL
SUPPORTS ARE GROOVED ON BOTTOM
AND SLIDE INTO SUPPORTS.

14 SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY

a) Seat belt or lap strap is pre-installed. Make sure hook fastener faces away from rider.

15 WHEEL REFLECTORS

a) Mount one reflector in each wheel, using plastic nuts to secure reflector to spoke of wheel.

16 STEERING PIN INSTALLATION

a) The steering inserts into the

front fork tube from the side.

b) The top position locks the

steering straight ahead. This
allows for easy transfer or if
the child needs assistance with
learning to steer properly.

c) The lower position limits the

steering to 20 degrees in either
direction. This is very helpful
in limiting the turning radius of
the tryke. It keeps a rider from
over steering and adds to safe
riding.

d) Install the adhesive hook strip

to the frame to keep the
steering pin secure form loss.

them clockwise into the loading brake extension tube. NOTE: the tube angles slightly outward

to position the brake over the tire be sure the foot of the bracket is fully on top of the red axle
tube.
