What’s in the Box?

Before assembling, make sure your TryBike kit includes:

• The frame
• Two large rear wheels
• One front wheel
• Fork (with axle)
• Axle bolts and washers
• Hex/Allen keys (included)
• Instruction manual (but we’ve got you covered if you've lost it!)

Build the TryBike as a Tricycle

Perfect for toddlers (around 15 months to 2.5 years), the trike setup offers extra stability while building confidence.

Follow these steps:

1. Attach the front fork to the frame

• Make sure the fork is angled forward.
• Use the provided bolts to secure it.

2. Add the front wheel

• Slide it into the fork’s dropouts.
• Secure using the axle and bolts.

3. Install the rear axle

• Use the long rear axle (specific to trike mode).
• Slide it through the rear of the frame.

4. Attach both rear wheels

• One wheel on each end of the axle.
• Use washers and bolts to tighten them snugly.
• Make sure both wheels spin freely.

5. Adjust the seat height

• Use the Allen key to loosen the seat clamp.
• Adjust it so your child’s feet can touch the ground comfortably while sitting.

And boom - you’ve got a ready-to-roll trike!

Convert to a Balance Bike

Once your child starts zooming around with more coordination (usually around 2.5 to 3 years old), it's time to level up to two wheels!

Conversion process:

1. Remove both rear wheels

• Use the same Allen key to undo the axle bolts.
• Take off the long axle too.

2. Switch to the balance bike axle

• Grab the shorter axle included in your TryBike kit.
• Insert it into the rear triangle of the frame.

3. Attach one rear wheel

• Secure it on either side (left or right, it doesn’t matter).
• Tighten the bolt and washer firmly.

4. Check the seat height again

• Your child’s feet should still touch the ground flat-footed.
• Lower the seat if needed - this builds their balance naturally.

Now your TryBike is a balance bike, ready to help your little one cruise, glide, and get ready for a pedal bike later on!

Pro Tips for a Smooth Ride

• Safety first: Always check that all bolts are tight and wheels are secure before riding.
• Helmet on: Encourage helmet use from the beginning to build the habit. Want a matching one? Find your colour matched Coco Helmet here.
• Practice makes progress: Start on flat, smooth surfaces and let them explore at their own pace.
• Celebrate milestones: Whether it's the first turn or a new trick, cheer them on!

Why TryBike is a Parent Favorite

• It’s durable with real air-filled tires for better comfort and grip.
• It’s adaptable, growing with your child from 15 months to around 6 years.
• It promotes natural learning of balance and coordination before introducing pedals.

Watching your child go from cautious first steps to confident cruising is a joy and the TryBike makes that journey smoother, safer, and full of smiles. With just a few tools and a little setup time, you're giving them a head start on a lifetime of biking fun.
