Is assembly required with a new bike?

All of our bikes come 90% - 99% pre-assembled right out of the box depending on the model. Sidekick now comes 99% assembled right out of the box, but do recommend a new bike tuneup to ensure everything has been tightened and done to spec. 


LOCAL BUYERS: Local pickup & Self Assembly is always FREE!

We can provide full assembly & tuneup for local pickup from our Factory Outlet. This will provide you with the absolute best experience right out of the gate! We also include minor adjustments for the first 30 days when we assemble your bike. We only charge $149 for this service. 


NON-LOCAL BUYERS: Assembly and first adjustment of your bike from Alter Ego Electric Bike requires special tools (tool kit provided), and moderate technical skills to complete an assembly. If you are unsure of how to assemble and make necessary adjustments, you should have your bike assembled by VeloFix or a local bike shop. As with all brands, a full tuneup should be completed to ensure that everything is tight, lubricated, and it is safe to ride.


Assembly Time: Approx. 30-90 minutes depending on the model. 


Here is a look at how most of our bikes will get shipped to you:

PLEASE NOTE:
As with any new bike, we highly recommend that you get your bike tuned up by VeloFix or a local bike shop. This will ensure that all necessary parts are lubricated, tight, and will give you the best overall riding experience. It is important to have your bike tuned up on a regular basis to avoid costly repairs down the road.
