FAQs
What age or height is the 16" Squish Bike suitable for?

How much does the Squish 16" Bike weigh?
The bike weighs approximately 6.3kg, making it one of the lightest bikes in its class.
What kind of brakes does the bike have?

What tools are needed for final assembly?
Assembly by a professional is recommended. If a competent individual is performing the assembly, standard bicycle tools such as Allen keys, pedal wrenches, and potentially a torque wrench will be necessary.
Troubleshooting
Bike feels wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all bolts, especially those on the handlebars, stem, and wheels, are securely tightened. Check tire pressure.
Brakes are not stopping effectively.
Verify that the brake cables are properly tensioned and that the brake pads are aligned with the wheel rim and not excessively worn. Professional adjustment may be required.
Pedals are difficult to turn.
Check that the pedals are correctly installed (left and right are specific) and that the crank arms are tight. Ensure the bottom bracket is functioning smoothly.
Chain is slipping or noisy.
Ensure the chain is properly aligned and lubricated. Check for any kinks or damage in the chain. If the issue persists, the chain tension or derailleur (if applicable on future models) may need adjustment.
