Review on 🚲 Trike Wheels for Kids with a Flat Perspective by Juice Jali

Revainrating 4 out of 5

a nice little tricycle when you have it assembled. My own instructions are here.

My little one hasn't been test ridden yet but I'm impressed with the balance, maneuverability and the fact that the seat and handlebars can be adjusted up and down. The frame itself is steel and the plastic parts should be strong enough. BUT now I understand why some other reviewers paid a bike shop to build them. I received this product packaged with parts in a shipping carton (provided by Revain). The small instruction manual had a helpful photo (but not as good as this one). He also attempted to give directions which in some cases were grossly incomplete and misleading. Below is my own take on how to put this thing together. Forgive my terminology if you are a real bike mechanic. Includes wrench/screwdriver combination. You will need an additional 1/2" socket wrench, preferably a deep head screwdriver. You may also need a better quality screwdriver (Philips #2). Other parts included: fork assembly (including front wheel and pedals), handlebars, 2x black plastic handlebars .Spacers ("washers" in directions), handlebar lock, mudguard, basket, frame, saddle, seatpost, seatpost mounting bolt, 2x rear wheels, 2x mini hubcaps, 2x nuts and washers, 2x metal axle spacers/bearings, rear axle and Clamp First, place the handlebar spacers at the top and bottom of the vertical hole on the front of the frame. They should snap into place. Place the fender over the wheel on the fork assembly. The side of the fender faces backwards ( Otherwise, the fork assembly is reversible so far I can tell.) Place the handlebar clamp loosely around the fork where it comes out of the frame comes out. through the hole in the basket and then up to the front wheel assembly and through the frame (or leave the handlebars at your desired height). Slide the basket up and make sure the wheel, handlebar and clamp are aligned. Then use a wrench to tighten the clamp. Slide the basket back down to close (and loosely hold in place) the clip and screw. Remove the nuts and washers from the rear axle and feed them through the back of the frame. At each end place an axle box/spacer, then a wheel, washer and nut (the round side of the nuts should be on the outside). Use both wrenches to tighten both nuts. The whole thing spins pretty freely, so you might only have to turn one side. Place the caps on the nuts and align the 4 small posts with the holes in the wheel wells. Insert the narrow end of the seat post into the clip on the underside of the saddle. Use both wrenches to partially tighten the seat post clamp. Insert the seat post into the frame. Remove the nut from the seatpost clamp bolt and thread it through the seatpost clamp (which is welded to the frame). Reinstall the nut and partially tighten the clamp. Adjust the saddle to the desired height and fully tighten the seatpost clamp. Adjust the seat angle and fully tighten the seat clamp. Install the bell by removing the screw from the associated clamp and sliding it onto one of the handlebars. Replace and tighten screw. (To ring the bell, flex the side of the bell and release. It will bounce and hit the bell.) It should, but have your keys ready to adjust seat height and angle, and handlebar height if needed .

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
