Now that your bike has been delivered, there are a few steps you need to
take to get it ready to ride.
Before your bike left our hands we went through a quality pre-ship
checklist that is included in your paperwork. When you opened the box,
you will see a Pello that is 95% assembled. Please see below for a few
things that are needed to make it 100% complete.
Tools needed:
• 5mm and 6mm Allen wrenches (provided in your small parts box)
• 15mm open wrench (or adjustable crescent wrench)
• Phillips screwdriver
• Presta valve tire pump. If you don’t have a presta valve pump, there
is a presta valve adapter in your small parts box.
You will need to perform the following:
• Unpack your new Pello
• Install and secure the front wheel
• Install and align the handlebars
• Install the pedals
• Install reflectors and bell
Please read all instructions first before assembly.
There was a lot of care given in packing your Pello to ensure it made it to
you without damage. Please use care when unpacking your new Pello and
please recycle responsibly.
After assembly and prior to riding your Pello, it is recommended that you
have your local bike shop or Qualified Bicycle Mechanic review your bike
assembly.

Packed with your bike will find a small
parts box that contains some cool stuff
for your Pello. Please see below for
what’s in the box.

Step 2/3
Ripple, Romper & Revo = Skip to next step
Reddi, Rover, Reyes & Roovi = Now that the skewer is
inserted into the hub you will now hand tighten the screw
nut partially onto skewer with narrow side of spring going
first (please see image below)
Ripple, Romper & Revo = Align stem and fork so they are both
faceing forward. The fork is properly oriented when the fender
eyelet is facing the rear of the bike. Attach wheel to fork, ensure
axle is properly seated at top of fork dropouts. Tighten both sides
clockwise with provided 5mm Allen key until secure. (Please see
images below)
Step 3/3
Axle is
securely
seated in
dropout
Assembling your bike cont...
Stem

Fender eyelet
alignment
Install and secure the front wheel
*Note: Please DO NOT squeeze front brake lever on bikes equipped
with disc brakes until wheel is installed. We know this is very tempting
but doing so may result in a miss-alignment of the disc pads and rotor.
Ripple, Romper & Revo = Loosen 5mm Allen bolts on each
side of wheel but do not remove.
Assembling your bike
Step 1/3
Reddi, Rover, Reyes & Roovi = Remove screw nut from quick
release skewer and insert into the front hub as shown below
(you will find the quick release in the small parts box).
*(If your tires are directional please look on side of tire for the directional
arrow.)

Step 1/2
Unscrew stem fixing bolts securing faceplate to stem body. Insert
handlebar between stem body and faceplate and then thread bolts
back into the stem loosely. Adjust the handlebar to the desired position
to best fit your child (refer to bike fit section for tips) then tighten
the bolts 1/4 turn at a time in an X-pattern (Ripple, Romper, Revo &
Roovi) and Top-Bottom (Reddi, Rover & Reyes). The faceplate should
be tightened evenly on the handlebar so the faceplate gap is even top
and bottom and the handlebar is secure. Align stem and fork so they
look straight when looking down onto handlebar (align stem with front
wheel) then tighten stem body fixing bolts. Please see page 17 for
reference images of proper cable routing. (Please see images below &
on next page)

Installing Handlebar to StemReddi = Align stem and fork so they are both faceing forward. The
fork is properly oriented when the fender eyelet is facing rear of bike.
Attach wheel to fork and ensure axel is seated fully into the fork
dropouts. (Because of the cushy tires you may need to wiggle the tire
a little past the brakes) Tighten screw nut until the quick release lever
is tight and in closed position. Look for the word “closed” on the
quick release lever when it is in it’s the closed position. (Please see
images below).
Rover, Reyes & Roovi = Align stem and fork so they are both facing
forward. The fork is properly oriented when the disc caliper is facing
rear of bike and on the same side as rear caliper. (Note: Stem is still
loose and will be tightened when installing the handlebar). Attach
wheel to fork. When attaching wheel to fork make sure to align the
disc rotor with the caliper. Once the axel is seated fully in the front
dropouts tighten screw nut until the quick release lever is tight and in
the closed position. Look for the word “closed” on the quick release
lever when it is in it’s the closed position. (Please see images below)
