Please find our videos on how to assemble a Kidvelo Bike. If you wish to learn how to fine-tune components on the bike for optimum riding performance, our How to Guides will be of use.

We have also written a simple guide on how to maintain your Kidvelo to help you.

Please note all bikes now have the front wheel bolts in the parts box. They can be located in the small plastic bag that contains the allen keys.

Fitting the Pedal-kit to your Rookie 14 | Rookie 18

Be mindful when fitting the pedal-kit that you bolt it on the correct way up. If you mistakenly bolt it on upside down, the chain will appear too short, and the bike is not rideable.
If the chain still appears too short, and you are unable to bolt on the pedal-kit, then follow the steps below.

How to change the Chain Tension

If your chain tension needs adjusting or the chain appears too tight when first fitting the pedal kit, please follow these steps.

Using the spanner in the box, remove the nut highlighted with the arrow
Loosen the rear wheel fixing bolts,
Slide the wheel forwards (towards the handlebars) and then bolt on the pedal-kit with the chain on.
Slide the wheel back again to take up slack.
Tighten the wheel bolts.
Put the silver nut back on and tighten it all up.
