Step 1
Unbox your new bike
Take care while removing packaging to avoid scratches.
Careful unboxing
Open the box carefully to avoid scratching the bike
Remove all packaging materials
Check for any included accessories
Recycle packaging responsibly with your local authority
Let’s contribute to keeping our planet green and clean!
Step 2
Install accessories
Add safety and functional accessories (if included).
Attach your accessories
Reflectors for safety
Bell for alerting pedestrians
Use the provided brackets, screws, and attachments.
Optional

City bikes come with mudguards pre-installed. If your box includes mudguards, follow the video below.
Mudguards (if included)
If your bike arrived with mudguards already fitted, you can skip this step

Step 3
Align & tighten handlebars
Make sure the bars and front wheel are perfectly straight.
Check the sticker on the fork to ensure proper forward orientation
Loosen the two Allen bolts securing the handlebar stem (one full turn)
Hold wheel between knees and rotate handlebars until perfectly straight
Tighten both stem bolts hand-tight. Do not over-tighten
Perfect alignment
Check the forward-pointing sticker on the forks
Loosen stem bolts just enough to move handlebars
Ensure handlebars are perfectly straight
Tighten bolts securely but don’t over-tighten
Test by holding wheel and turning handlebars
Step 4
Attach pedals
Thread pedals by hand first to avoid cross-threading.
Identify correct pedals – the red pedal goes into the red crank on the left
Peel up the sticker on the crank to reveal the threaded hole
Align and gently rotate pedal by hand until threads engage properly
Use spanner to tighten a quarter turn. Do not over-tighten
Correct pedal installation
Match left pedal (red) with left crank (red)
Match right pedal with right crank
Remove protective stickers from crank threads
Thread pedals by hand first to avoid cross-threading
Use spanner only for final tightening
Repeat process for both pedals
Important: Never force pedals or over-tighten to prevent thread damage
Step 5
Adjust saddle height
Set a comfortable height so your child feels confident.
Find the perfect height
For beginners: Feet should be flat on the ground
For confident riders: On tip-toes is acceptable
Never exceed the maximum height marking
Ensure the saddle is level and secure
Safety note: The saddle must not be raised higher than the maximum marking to ensure rider safety
Step 6
Check brake operation
Before riding, make sure braking feels firm and controlled.
Ensure safe braking
Squeeze brake levers – they should feel firm
Levers should not pull all the way to the handlebars
Adjust using barrel adjusters on brake levers if needed
Ensure handlebars are straight and aligned
Test both front and rear brakes
For detailed brake adjustments, see the manual:
Owner's Manual
