SEttING UP YOUR BELTER
ADJUST THE SADDLE
Sit your child on the bike. Adjust the saddle position
so that your child can support themselves with their
feet on the ground, and their legs slightly bent.
They need to be comfortable and stable when they
are getting started on the bike. Once familiar with the bike,
you can begin to raise the saddle height to enable a little
extra pedal power, but be sure to do this only as your child’s
confidence develops.
Encourage your child to pedal with the ball of their foot.
In time you can get them to a riding position where the
leg is slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke for
optimum efficiency.

ADJUST THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars can be adjusted to suit the
rider. Both the height and reach can be altered
to find the most comfortable riding position
for your child.
STEM HEIGHT
Your Belter has “threadless” headset system which uses a
series of spacers that can be placed above or below the stem
to alter the handlebar height (see maintenance - ‘headset’ for
adjustment information).
BAR REACH (URBAN ONLY)
Your handlebars also have a rise allowing them to be rotated
to either increase or decrease the length of the reach.
2
Your seat post is marked to indicate the maximum
permissible height of the saddle.
For safety reasons,
do not exceed the minimum insertion mark.
