-
Proper bolt tightening techniques
-
Final safety checks before riding
Watching the process in action can help clarify any uncertainties and reinforce key steps outlined in this manual.
Installation Steps
Prep Lay Bike on Its Side: Turn off the bike, remove the key, and lay it on the chain-side downโthis protects the controls.
Loosen the Rear Axle Nut: Use a 13โฏmm wrench to back off the axle nut a few turns. Donโt remove it completelyโjust enough to slide everything.
Install the Bracket: Slide the training-wheel bracket onto the axle from the outside. Make sure it seats firmly against the frame or spacer.
Reinstall the Axle: Slide the axle back through the wheel and bracket. Hand-tighten the nut to hold everything in place.
Attach the Training Wheel: Bolt on the wheel using the provided washers and lock nut. Check for level alignment and that it spins freely.
Tighten All Fasteners: Use your tools to snug up the axle nutโtight enough to prevent shifting, but not over-torqued. Also, tighten the wheel bolt firmly.
Repeat on the Other Side: Mirror steps 2โ6 on the opposite side.
Final Check & Test Ride: Stand the bike up. Both wheels should lightly touch the ground, supporting the bike with a slight lean. Push itโmake sure it rights itself and thereโs no looseness or noise.
Removal (When Theyโre No Longer Needed)
-
Turn off the bike, lay it on its side again
-
Loosen the wheel bolt, remove the wheel and bracket
-
Remove one axle nut, then pull the axle out
-
Reinstall the axle directly through the frame
-
Tighten the axle nut to spec
-
Stand it up and test for stability before riding

Use light grease on axle threads to prevent corrosion and help nuts stay tight.
-
Adjust bracket angle slightly for better turning stability.
-
Gradually raise them as your child gets steadierโwhen they no longer touch, itโs time to remove them entirely.
Quick Troubleshooting
Problem | Cause & Fix |
---|---|
Wobbly wheels | Underโtightened axle or bracketโreโalign and retighten |
Wheel rubbing fender | Lower bracket or reposition wheel mount |
Wheels popping off | Apply grease, use lock washers, tighten firmly |
Corner instability | Ensure slight angle on wheels; avoid sharp turns at speed |
Common Errors to Avoid
-
Over-tightening: Excessive force may strip threads or crack plastic components.
-
Bracket misalignment: Uneven training wheels cause unstable riding conditions.
-
Incorrect wheel height: Wheels set too low prevent the rider from learning balance.
-
Failure to disconnect battery: Always power down before making mechanical adjustments.
-
Improper tool usage: Use tools of the correct size to prevent damage and ensure proper torque.

FAQs
Q: Are the training wheels universal across models?
Yesโcompatible with Cruiser, Pioneer, and Challenger 12 models; plastic-and-hardware combo makes it easy to fit most frames.
Q: Will they affect riding speed or turning?
Theyโre low-profile but may slightly reduce corner agility; best to keep speed moderate until fully confident.
Q: Can I adjust their height?
Mostly a fixed position, but some kits have slight angle adjustments. For height change, youโd need shim spacers.
Q: Is any maintenance required?
Check tightness weekly for new installsโvibrations can loosen nuts. Wipe clean and regrease the axle periodically.
Q: What age is ideal to use them?
Great for ages 4โ10 while learning balanceโremove once your kid can ride comfortably unaided.
