Indonesian term or phrase: Aku akan melepasnya!
Scene description:

Domi sedang memegang bagian belakang sebuah sepeda mini sambi stengah berlari. Di depan ada Yoyo (anak laki-laki) yang sedang duduk di atas jok sepeda. Domi sedang mengajari Yoyo naik sepeda.

Domi: Bersiap! Aku akan melepasnya!

Bagaimana ya, menerjemahkan 'melepasnya' di sini?

Thanks and best regards,

English translation:I'm going to let it go!
Explanation:
I think this is what children would say during play. Short and concise sentences. "Ready? I'm going to let it go!" or even shorter "Ready? I'm gonna let it go!"

Get ready! I'll let you go on your own!


Explanation:
Saya menyukai versi: I'll let you go on your own!, namun jika dibutuhkan yang lebih pendek, cukup: I'll let you go!

Juga mungkin: I'll let it go! karena yang dipegangi adalah sepeda.
