Rear wheel locked up (brakes not rubbing)Updated 5 months ago

First, make sure the brakes aren't rubbing on the wheel.

Issue: Rear wheel seizing while using the bike as a balance bike (pedals removed).

Cause: The freewheel (small brass-colored cog on the rear wheel) may be making contact with the bike frame, causing it to get stuck.

Follow this Step by Step Guide to fix it (takes 10 minutes).
