Learn to install the Strider Memory Mount on your balance bike to display it and store keepsakes. Follow these simple steps for a secure fit.

Quick Answer

To install the Strider Memory Mount, position it on the handlebar stem, align the mounting holes, and tighten the hardware securely. This accessory lets you display the bike and store keepsakes in its secret compartment.

Why the Mounting Location Matters

The Strider Memory Mount is designed to attach to the bike's handlebar stem, keeping it out of the way while riding. Proper placement ensures the mount doesn't interfere with the handlebar grip or the rider's hands.

If your child uses a handlebar pad, you may need to adjust it slightly to accommodate the mount. This is a common point of confusion, but a quick check before tightening will save you from redoing the job.

Tools and Preparation

Before you begin, gather a 4mm Allen wrench (most Strider bikes use this size) and have the Memory Mount and its hardware ready. Ensure the bike is on a stable surface and the front wheel is straight.

If you're also mounting an action camera, check that the camera's base is compatible with the Memory Mount's top plate. The mount provides a flat surface, but you'll need the correct adapter for your camera model.

Installation Steps

Position the Mount: Place the Strider Memory Mount on top of the handlebar stem, aligning the mounting holes with the stem's existing holes. Ensure the mount is centered and the secret compartment faces the rider for easy access. Check that the mount doesn't block the handlebar grip or the rider's hands.
Insert and Tighten Hardware: Insert the provided bolts through the mount and into the stem holes. Tighten them with a 4mm Allen wrench, alternating between bolts to ensure even pressure. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads. Stop tightening when the mount feels snug and doesn't wiggle.
Test and Adjust: Gently pull on the mount to confirm it's secure. If you're attaching an action camera, mount it now and check that the view is unobstructed. Adjust the handlebar pad if it interferes with the mount. A quick test ride at slow speed ensures the mount stays put and doesn't affect steering.
