I got a Kettler a couple weekends ago at a garage sale for $10. It looks like its "push-bar ready", but I can't tell for sure. How does it attach? I looked around on Amazon for a bit, and none of the trikes listed looks exactly like mine (different color, seat, or handle-bar shape) so I thought I'd come to the experts.

The trike has the bucket, brakes, the front wheel locks, and the kid can rest their feet on the pedals when you push and the pedals don't spin. Its adjustable lengthwise, on lower part of the frame.

There's a circular opening in the bucket where it looks like a push-bar could go, but I'm just wondering if something is missing as I can't picture how it would actually attach to the frame. Does it screw on?

Thanks! My back is really starting to hurt, need to get this figured out ASAP. ha ha.

Mine had a black plastic tubular piece. The pushbar has a "button" that clicks it into place. Hard to explain. Maybe I'll go take a pic.

Okay, hope these help!

Hmmm, no I definitely don't have that. I wonder if it broke off. There's holes in the frame, but no plastic. Maybe I need to call Kettler to get that piece too.

Thanks for the speedy response!!

Cool. Thanks so much!

I looked on their site and downloaded a manual. I'm pretty sure I have a Jumbo, there's a replacement part called an adapter, I think I need it and the bar and my back is happy! ;)
