Is the bicycle delivered fully assembled?

Volare bicycles are either 85% or 95% assembled. With the 85% assembled bikes, the handlebars, front wheel, front mudguard, saddle and pedals still need to be assembled. Bicycles that are 95% finished require only the handlebars, pedals and possibly training wheels. All our bikes are marked with the method of assembly.

How do I assemble an 85% bike?

With an 85% finished bike, the handlebars, front wheel, front mudguard, saddle and pedals still need to be assembled. Follow the instructions below or watch the special Volare assembly video.

How do I assemble a 95% finished bike?

On a 95% finished bike, only the pedals and handlebars still need to be assembled. Please follow the instructions below or watch the special Volare assembly video.

Is 100% assembly possible?

You can have the bicycle assembled by a professional mechanic. The additional cost for this is €15.00. You will have to pick up the bicycle yourself at our pick-up address: Röntgenweg 2, 1131 PP Volendam. This can be done the next working day. The bike cannot be sent fully assembled.

What tools do I need to assemble a bicycle?

- Allen keys (3 to 8mm)

- Wrenches (size 8, 10, 13, 14 and/or 15 depending on the size of the bike)

- Screwdriver (Phillips and flat head)

- Pliers or scissors (to loosen the packaging material)

How do I adjust the bicycle saddle?

For the correct saddle height, the ball of your child's foot should just be able to touch the ground. Use the inseam measured from the ground as a guide (see also "Selecting a suitable bike"). Do not set the saddle too low, as this will make cycling more difficult.

The seat post can be unscrewed where it enters the frame. If this is a quick release, you can open this "flap" by hand, otherwise you have to use a socket or open-end wrench. Carefully slide the seat post up or down to the correct height. Then firmly secure the seat post and check the setting by sitting on the saddle. Never raise the saddle above the recommended height indicated by a line on the seat post; this may cause the saddle to loosen.

How do I adjust the height of the handlebars?

You can change the height of the handlebars by raising or lowering the stem. This can be done by loosening the bolt in the middle of the handlebar with the Allen key. It is possible that there is a cap over the bolt in the middle of the handlebar; this must be removed first. Then you can adjust the handlebars up or down. When tightening, also make sure that the handlebars are straight and flush with the front wheel.

How do I assemble the pedals?

A pedal has an L (left) or an R (right) on it which indicates which side it is for. The left pedal has a left-hand thread. Fastening is counterclockwise and loosening is clockwise. For the right pedal this is the other way around.

If necessary, apply a little grease to the thread before assembly. Always screw the threaded end of the pedals into the crank thread by hand, otherwise the thread may be damaged.

What maintenance does the bike need?

To enjoy your Volare bike as long as possible, it is important to maintain it properly. Therefore, regularly check the chain, tire pressure, brakes, saddle and handlebar height, and any lights. We also recommend annual maintenance by a Volare dealer to keep your bike in top condition!

How do I maintain the bike chain?

If the chain is very dirty, you can first polish the chain gently with a lint-free cloth to remove superficial dirt. Then the chain can be lubricated with oil. Drizzle chain oil on the spot where the chain tubes rotate in the rear wheel sprockets, while the chain is turning gently. Do not use too much oil, as it will attract dirt. A small amount of oil is often sufficient. Let the oil act for at least 30 minutes before using the bike again.

What is the right size children's bike?

When picking out a new children's bike, it is important that you choose the right size bike. The child must feel safe therefore it is not wise to choose a bike for growth. If the children's bike is too big and feels to the child, the child will not enjoy learning. Rather a little too small than too big.

Are you in doubt? If so, we recommend you take a look at our bike selection guide.

How do I measure my child's inseam?

Do you need help choosing the right bike size? The image shows you how to determine your child's inseam.

When does my child need training wheels?

On average, your child will be able to learn to ride a bike without training wheels from 5 years old, but this is certainly not a rule of thumb! Remove the training wheels from the bike when your child is ready. This means that your child is no longer anxious on the bike and can cycle with good balance. To practice balancing with the security of the training wheels, you can also adjust them a little higher; this will teach your child to balance and the bike will still be kept in balance by the training wheels should things go wrong.
