Troubleshooting

Bike won't turn on

This is a bicycle; it does not have a power switch. Ensure pedals are being pushed forward to propel the bike.

Gears are skipping or difficult to shift

Check if the rear derailleur is properly aligned. Minor adjustments to the barrel adjuster on the shifter or derailleur may be needed. Ensure the chain is clean and lubricated.

Brakes are not engaging effectively

Inspect the brake pads for wear and ensure they are properly aligned with the wheel rim. Adjust the brake cable tension to increase stopping power. Clean the braking surfaces on the rim.

Chain is rubbing against the frame or chain guard

Ensure the floating chain glider is correctly positioned. If the chainline appears off, it may require adjustment of the crankset or rear derailleur, consult a bike mechanic if unsure.

Child finds it hard to reach the handlebars

The handlebar can be adjusted. Loosen the stem bolts and rotate the handlebar to a more comfortable position. If further adjustment is needed, ensure the stem is at the correct height for the child's inside leg measurement.
