Assembly Skill Level

We want to make your child's transition to their new bike as smooth as possible and this includes the bike's assembly. You'll find assembly (instructions included with bike) to be simple and straightforward. We also have a step-by-step video tutorial available on our site. Most bike will arrive 85%-95% pre-assembled, but if you feel uncomfortable with doing the assembly yourself, most any local bike shop can assist.
