Assembling your bike cont... Install the Pedals You will find the pedals in the small parts box. They are marked L for left side and R for right side on the end of the axles as shown in the image below. The right side of the bike is called the drive side or the side with the chain.

Install the Saddle / Height Adjustment For your child to ride their new bike properly, the saddle must be correctly installed and adjusted to the right height for their size and ability. Step 1/3 Open the quick release lever to allow seatpost to be inserted into seat-tube.

(more in the “bike fit” section). **Note: The ripple comes with a longer seatpost if you need to extend your childs time on the balance bike be- fore moving to a pedal bike, simply install the longer one onto the saddle.

Use a Phillips head screwdriver to attach the white reflector bracket to the handlebars facing forward. *Note: Ripple, Romper & Revo reflectors have a small shim inside the clamp. This is so we can create a bar diameter that is very small for little hands to grab confidently.
To make sure your child can control the brakes they should stand stationary with their feet on the floor and test the brake levers. Also, ensure they are able to engage the coaster brake on Pello bikes that are equipped with one (Romper & Revo).
Ready to ride? Review the bike with your Child & First Ride OK, now that the Pello is fitted properly and you’ve gone through the checklist, make sure to take the time and explain how the bike works and review all the parts of the bike with your little rider.

Maintaining your bike As with all bikes, occasional care and maintenance is necessary for your Pello Bike to roll its best. If you have any questions regarding maintenance, please contact us or visit your local bike shop and qualified mechanic.

Reflectors All Pello bikes come with a white reflector on each wheel, and one front (white) and one rear (red) reflector. Reflectors are an important safety feature and are legally required. Make sure they are clean and securely fastened to the bike as per the assembly instructions.
The below chart lists the corresponding tire pressures for each Pello model. Inflate the tires by removing the dust cap from the valve, unscrew the presta valve and inflate with a “Presta” valve pump. Reverse the steps when finished inflating the tires.
Remove excess water with a dry cloth or towel. After washing it is a good idea to apply chain lube to keep the chain from rusting. A well-used Pello means your child is having fun, but that also means you should properly inspect it, at a minimum, for the following: Yearly - check tires and wheels for integrity and proper condition.
Riding Tips • Get your child excited about their new bike! Have them help you assemble it or review some of the parts that make the bike work, such as how the pedals make them go or how the brakes make them stop.
