4.2 Converting Configurations
The 'Charlie' tricycle offers four distinct configurations. Conversion typically involves re-positioning the rear wheel assembly and/or the main frame components.
4.2.1 Trike to Chopper Conversion
To convert from a trike to a chopper, adjust the main frame's orientation. This typically involves rotating the rear section of the frame to lower the seating position, giving it a chopper-like appearance. The saddle height for this configuration remains 23 cm to 27 cm.

4.2.2 Tricycle to Balance Bike (Runner) Conversion
To convert from a tricycle to a balance bike, the two rear wheels are typically removed and replaced with a single wheel, or the frame is reconfigured to support a single rear wheel. This mode is designed to help children learn balance without pedals. The saddle height for the balance bike/runner configuration can be adjusted from 26 cm to 30 cm.

4.3 Saddle Height Adjustment
The saddle can be adjusted to 6 different height positions to accommodate your child's growth and the specific configuration. Refer to the markings on the saddle post for precise height settings.
- For Trike and Chopper configurations: Saddle height adjustable from 23 cm to 25 cm and 27 cm.
- For Tricycle and Balance Bike configurations: Saddle height adjustable from 26 cm to 28 cm and 30 cm.
To adjust, loosen the saddle fastening mechanism, slide the saddle to the desired height, and securely tighten the mechanism. Ensure the saddle is stable before use.
5. Provoz
The Mini Tricycle 'Charlie' is designed for intuitive use, promoting active play and developmental skills.
- Trike/Tricycle Mode: Ideal for younger children learning to push off and steer. The stable three-wheel design provides support and builds confidence. Children propel themselves by pushing off the ground with their feet.
- Chopper Mode: Offers a different riding posture, often preferred for a more relaxed, lower ride while still providing three-wheel stability.
- Balance Bike Mode: This mode is crucial for developing balance and coordination. Children learn to glide by pushing off the ground, lifting their feet, and balancing on two wheels. This prepares them for riding a pedal bicycle without the need for training wheels.
Encourage your child to use the product in a safe, open area. Always ensure they are comfortable and confident with the current configuration before attempting more advanced modes.
