What makes the bike so lightweight?

How do I clean and maintain the bike?

Wipe the frame with a damp cloth. Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Regularly check brake function and tire pressure. Store in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

Bike won't turn on

This is a non-electric bike; ensure the rider is pushing the pedals to move forward.

Brakes are not working effectively

Check brake cable tension and ensure brake pads are making full contact with the rim. The Tektro Junior Levers may need adjustment for reach. Ensure the CNC sidewalls on the rims are clean.

Pedaling feels stiff or difficult

Verify the bottom bracket bearings are functioning smoothly and the chain is clean and lightly lubricated. Ensure the crank arms are securely attached.

Handlebars are loose

This requires professional adjustment of the headset and stem. Please consult a bicycle mechanic.

Chain keeps falling off

Ensure the chainring and freewheel are aligned correctly. Minor adjustments may be needed by a qualified mechanic, or check if the chain has excessive slack.
