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.

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.
