Troubleshooting

Bike won't turn on

This is a pedal bike, not electric, and does not have a power switch. Ensure the child understands how to pedal forward to move.

Brakes are not working effectively

Check brake cable tension and ensure brake pads are aligned with the rim. Adjust the reach on the brake levers if they are too far from the grips. If issues persist, consult a bike mechanic.

Chain is making noise or slipping

The chain may need cleaning and lubrication. Check for any obstructions or damage to the chainring or freewheel. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned. If slipping continues, the chain or sprockets may be worn and require replacement.

Tyres are deflated

Check the tyre sidewall for the recommended pressure (PSI or BAR) and inflate using a standard bicycle pump. Inspect tyres for punctures.

Handlebars or seat are loose

Ensure the stem bolts and seat post clamp are securely tightened. If you are unsure, seek assistance from a qualified bicycle mechanic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Please note that Squish bikes arrive part-assembled.

This typically includes final installation of the handlebars, pedals, seat post, and brakes, along with a safety check.

Care: To maintain your Squish bike:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the frame and components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the paintwork or components.
  • Tires: Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure, typically found on the sidewall of the tire. Check regularly.
  • Chain: Periodically check the chain for dirt and lubricate it with a suitable bicycle chain lubricant to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
  • Brakes: Regularly check brake pad wear and cable tension. Ensure the brake levers engage smoothly and provide adequate stopping power. Adjust the reach on the brake levers as needed.
  • General Inspection: Periodically check that all bolts and nuts are securely tightened, especially on the handlebars, wheels, and seat post.
