TRYBIKE High Bicycle User Instructions Download Page 1

HAVE FUN WITH THE TRYBIKE!

 
Thank you for buying an original Trybike! 
Or maybe you got it as a present, which is 
even nicer!

The Trybike can be used by children from 
one year old upwards. Uniquely, it can 
grow with your child, because you can turn 
it from a tricycle into a bicycle with only 
some minor adjustments. 

You can also flip the frame of the bicycle 
into a high position so children can use it 
even longer, or you can have it at that same 
height as the tricycle for loads of fun!

We have discovered that children with a 
disability and children who find it difficult 
to keep their balance can really benefit 
from the Trybike as a tricycle, both in the 
lower and in the higher position.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

CONVERTING THE TRYBIKE FROM A  

LOW BICYCLE INTO A HIGH BICYCLE

First, dismantle the handlebar and the front wheel, then 
loosen the axle that fits through the frame and the front 
forks. One nut is located on top of the front forks, under 
the handlebar, this nut is sealed to the axle. The other nut 
is located at the bottom, above the front wheel. Loosen the 
bottom nut. Now pull the axle from the top out off the front 
forks. 

Once the axle has been separated from the front forks, carefully slide the frame out of the 
front forks. Caution! Make sure the frame is in the middle of the front forks so the second 
axle can be pushed out through the slot. Do not force it, because it could damage the 
wood. Keep a hold of the protective caps so they do not fall.

The second axle is a safety axle; it makes 
sure that the forks do not spread too far and 
prevents fingers from being pinched between 
the frame and the front forks. So it is very 
important to position this axle correctly.

Flip the frame around so the seat is upside 
down and slide the frame carefully into the 
front forks. Make sure the frame is in the 
middle of the front forks so the second axle 
can be pushed in through the slot. Check 
that the protective caps are back in position 
between the frame and the front forks. 

Make sure the holes of the front forks are aligned with the holes of the frame. Slide the 
axle with the sealed nut at the top from the top downwards into the front forks and 
through the frame. Tighten the nut at the bottom and check that the front forks rotate 
smoothly in the frame. Also check that the space between the frame and the front forks is 
at least 12 mm (roughly the thickness of your little finger) when you move the forks all the 
way to the left or right. Now reassemble the handlebar and the front wheel.

Detach the seat from the frame and fit it on the other side of the frame. Now use holes 1 
and 3 to fasten the seat. See the section on adjusting the seat.

FITTING THE SEAT COVER

The bottom of the seat cover has a Velcro fastening. Place 
the cover on the seat, with the Trybike logo facing to the back 
and make sure that the Velcro fastenings are properly stuck 
together. Pull the sides of the seat cover over the seat and 
fasten the underside of the seat.

CONVERTING THE TRYBIKE FROM A TRICYCLE INTO A BICYCLE

Detach the long axle with the two wheels, pipes and 
bushings from the rear forks. Put the long axle in the 
supplied bag and store it together with one wheel so you 
can convert the tricycle to a bicycle for another child in 
the future. The rear wheel is basically mounted the same 
way as the front wheel, but the rear wheel is a bit more 
difficult to do because it is subject to some tension. So 
you may have to pull the prongs of the rear forks apart.

Insert the black long nylon bushings into the wheel, with the narrow part of the bushing 
into the wheel bearing. Place the wheel with the black nylon bushings between the rear 
forks so the holes of the rear forks are exactly aligned with the holes of the bushings. 
Insert the axle through the rear forks, the bushings and therefore also through the wheel. 
Before you push the axle all the way through, put the nut on one side of the axle, giving it 
a few turns. Push the axle completely through the hole and put the nut on the other side, 
again giving it a few turns. Once fitted, tighten the nuts simultaneously on both sides and 
check that the wheel rotates smoothly.

Put the long axle in the supplied bag and store it together with the wheel so you can 
convert the tricycle to a bicycle for another child in the future.

WALKING THE WORLD

THE GROWBIKE

MAINTENANCE

Regularly check that all parts are secure 
and undamaged, paying particular 
attention to the handlebars, wheels and 
seat. Make sure you perform a thorough 
check-up 14 days after assembly. 

TYRES

We recommend that you inflate all the 
tyres to approximately 30 PSI to 35 PSI (2.0 
to 2.4 bar). You should still be able to push 
in the tyre a little with your thumb. Do not 
overinflate the tyres. Do not exceed 35 PSI, 

because the tyre may burst!
Regularly check the tyres and wheels for 
damage and correct tyre pressure.

PROTECTION

Treat the wooden parts of the Trybike with 
beeswax to keep the wood looking nice for 
longer.

CLEANING

To clean the Trybike, use car wash 
detergents, lukewarm water and a soft 
cloth. Apply beeswax afterwards to protect 
the paint.

LUBRICATION

Lubricate the axles and the bearings of the 
wheels lightly with standard bicycle oil. 

STORAGE

Store the Trybike in a warm, dry and 
well-ventilated area at room temperature. 
Do not keep it outside or in a cold damp 
storage area and keep out of extreme 
temperatures. Use the supplied bag  
for storing the long axle or short axle  
if not used.

WARRANTY

Designing our bikes took a lot of time, and 
each Trybike has been manufactured with 
great care and attention. Every Trybike is 
checked separately, but production errors 
may still slip through. That’s why the Trybike 
comes with a 2-year warranty period from 
date of purchase against any manufacturing 
defects. We will repair or replace the Trybike 
free of charge during this period if you should 
encounter any manufacturing defects. If 
you have any problems with your Trybike, 
please contact the (online) store where you 
purchased your Trybike. 

This warranty is valid only for the original 
purchaser who bought the product new from 
an authorised dealer, so make sure you keep 
a copy of your receipt. 

Your warranty will be likely to become void if 
you have modified the Trybike in any way, if 
the problem is due to normal wear and tear, 
if you bought the Trybike in a used condition 
or if the Trybike has not been correctly 
assembled, used and/or maintained.

Please contact us if you have any problem 
with your Trybike, because we can always 
help you, even if your warranty is no longer 
valid. We designed the Trybike so that it can 
always be fixed. All components are available 
and can be ordered separately. We will do 
everything we can to ensure that children 
may enjoy the Trybike for as long as possible. 
Rights may vary by country.

FITTING THE HANDLEBAR INTO THE FRONT FORKS

Place the safety pad between the holes at the top of the  
front forks and push the wooden handlebar through  
the front forks and the safety pad. You will notice two 
grooves on the handlebar. Insert the handlebar so the 
grooves end up outside the front forks. Fasten the two 
screws at the bottom of the top “ball” of the front forks 
in the handlebar to secure it, see arrow in picture. Now fit 
the grips to the handlebar. If this is difficult then dampen 
the grips with a little water on the inside and try again.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT

The seat and seat post have already been fitted. Before 
use, secure the seat post with two bolts through hole 
1 and hole 2, see picture. The third hole is used for 
positioning the seat in the high Trybike mode. 

The seat post is wedged pretty tightly into the frame, so 
you may have to pull the frame apart a little to fit the seat 
post when you want to lower or raise the seat. 

The Trybike grows with your child by flipping the frame to 
the high mode. Use holes 1 and 3 for the high mode, as 
shown in the picture.

CORRECT SEAT HEIGHT

The seat will be at the correct height when your child can 
just reach the floor with his or her heels. If the seat is too 
low in tricycle mode, the heels tend to touch the back axle, 
and in bicycle mode, the child’s feet will end up dragging 
slightly. So, ensure the seat is not too low.

FITTING THE FRONT WHEEL INTO THE FRAME

Insert the black long nylon bushings into the wheel, with 
the narrow part of the bushing fitting into the bearing of 
the wheel. Position the wheel with the black nylon bushings 
between the front forks so that the holes of the front forks 
are exactly aligned with the holes of the bushings. Insert 
the axle through the front forks, the bushings and therefore 
also through the wheel. Before you push the axle all the 
way through, put the nut on one side of the axle, giving it 
a few turns. Push the axle entirely through the hole and fit 
a nut on the other side, again giving it a few turns. Once 
fitted, tighten the nuts on both sides simultaneously, and 
check whether the wheel rotates smoothly.

Two brothers who are crazy about cycling. 
We come from the Netherlands, where 
almost everyone has one or two bikes. 
We are enthusiastic cyclists, and we have 
been importing loads of fun toys, especially 
ones with wheels – including balance bikes 
– for more than 10 years by now. In 2014, 
we started developing our own balance 
bike, applying all of our knowledge as toy 
sellers and enthusiastic cyclists during the 
process. We had great fun designing the 
perfect balance bike: durable, strong, and, 
to top it all, darned good-looking to boot! 
The result: the Trybike, which is exactly the 
kind of bike we would have loved to have 
had as kids!

ASSEMBLING THE TRYBIKE

We have already partially assembled the 
Trybike. We would love to put the entire 
bike together for you beforehand, but then 
we would have to ship it in a large box. This 
would make transportation very expensive, 
it would be bad for the environment and 
no fun for the poor postman.

ASSEMBLY OF THE LONG REAR AXLE AND THE TWO REAR WHEELS

Remove the parts of the long axle, please note: one nut 
is sealed and only one nut can be unscrewed. Insert the 
short aluminium pipe in between the rear forks. Insert 
the short black bushings into the wheels, with the 
narrow part of the bushings into the wheel bearings. 
Then slide one wheel with the bushings over the rear 
axle to the fixed nut at the end of the axle. Push the 
long aluminium pipe over the axle up to the wheel and 
slide the axle, from the left side of the rider, into the 
holes of the rear forks and through the aluminium pipe. Important, keep the sealed nut 
on the left side of the rider. This way the nut on the other side won’t turn loose when 
the Trybike is ridden. Slide the remaining long aluminium pipe and the wheel with the 
bushings onto the right side of the rear axle and fasten the wheel with the nut. Finally, 
tighten the nut properly (not too tight but also not too loose) and check that the wheels 
rotate smoothly and the nuts don’t turn. Put the short axle in the supplied bag and store 
it, so you can convert the tricycle to a bicycle in the future.
