Does it come with tools for assembling ? If not what tools do I need ?.. I'm a student with no tools whatsoever.. Looking for a bike easy to put together..

You can get by with a 8 inch adjustable wench and I believe 5 & 8 mm Allen wrenchs and I think maybe a Phillips screwdriver. Actually, there is a longer list with the owner's manual. You might want to invest in a small assortment of tools to maintain the bike(Adjust brakes, handle bars etc) The bike comes in three basic parts. You have to install the seat, handle bars and front wheel. Hint-deflate the tire. A hand air pump will come in handy also.

The bike does NOT come with tools. I recommend you purchase an adjustable wrench for tightening the bolts and a metric set of allen wrenchs. You will need to be-able to fill the tires (after installation) with air as they are deflated for shipment. Be careful when you install and adjust the handle bar; ensure the cables are not twisted or on the back-side of the bar. The chain is fairly easy to install on the sprockets, but your hands will get a bit oily. As you are a student with limited funds, Harbor Freight (in-store and on-line) is a great place to find inexpensive tools to start a collection. Good luck! The bike does NOT come with tools.

No it does not. But all you need is a metric set of Allen wrenches and an adjustable wrench.

As I recall it will require a crescent wrench and allen wrenches. Good excuse to check out Lowe's and start a Kobalt tool collection.

No tools needed. There's a tool provided and some wood glue. I did go ahead and use a higher grade of wood glue where the unit came together for a solid hold. I put this together in about 30 minutes. A novice could put it together in less than an hour.

Don't need any tools, it is easily put together with everything it came with, took maybe 10 minutes at most, its a bunch of pegs that get place inside holes that you twist the legs on.

No it does not come assembled, my husband put it together for me, awesome bike though!!

It comes mostly assembled, you will have to put on the following: seat and seat post, peddles, handlebar, front tire, front fender, and two reflectors. And then air up the tires. It's basic, and schwinn's customer service is by far the best!

No, it is not completely assembled, there is some minor parts that have to be put on such as the front wheel, handle bars and pedals. Very easy to do but you will need a few metric tools such as a few metric Allen wrenches. It also suggests a few metric sockets, which would be easier, however a good ole crescent wrench works fine. The only another issue I would address is the gearing of this bike.....My wife was not in favor of any gears and handle brakes, period. So this is the bike she picked. My bike has seven speeds. I have road my wife's bike and her gearing is between my 3rd and 4th gears. Which means it is extremely harder to pedal, even on flat ground. I have since changed her rear sprocket from a 18T to a 20T and I think it is a lot better for basic riding, not too expensive about $20 and I did the labor. This is where I am heading with this story...while at the bike shop for parts I noticed that they had bikes with coaster brakes that had 3 speeds. This means no hand brakes..This was a different brand and the price was $500, so it was alot more money than the Schwinn. It might be something to think about if you want some lower gears for riding and don't want hand brakes..to be truthful I don't know if Schwinn even makes bikes with that option. Hope this helps and doesn't confuse..Just my $0.02 Ken

There really is not much to assembling this bike. You could get it and then spend 30 bucks to 45 at the bike store putting it together.

It comes with everything needed to attach it to one bike. You'll need some basic tools though (e.g. Allen wrench). &, if you loose the assembly the instructions the way I did, you can find them on the company website.

It comes in a box 50% assembled, you will have to assemble some of it yourself with the right tools or take it to a bike shop. No instructions in the box, just the bike parts.

I had no problem putting it together - it was quite easy and took about 15 minutes max. I seem to recall it came with the necessary tools.

You have to get it out of the box and just snap maybe a piece or 2 into place... I consider it as no assembly... you dont need tools or anything to set up. Just take out the box and follow the easy instructions.

Hi, yes you do. I took it to a bike shop to assemble and tune up however. It's a great bike for the price.

Yes, it does. I am relatively handy with tools, so it was no problem. The wheels, seat and handlebars have to be installed on the bike. These are "sub-assembled", so it wasn't like building it from scratch. My 12 year old daughter loves this bike!! The aluminum construction is very lightweight, and it's a very easy ride.

No it doesn't, but it is very easy to put together. It has about 5 steps to put it together. You can also take it to a local bike shop and they will double check to make sure you have it together well.

Yes, it does require assembly which was quite difficult but once we got it together it is awesome! My wife loves it! It took about 2 hours to put together but very solid bike and looks great when done! If you have a little bit of mechanical skills with screwdriver and wrench should be no big deal and well with it.

It's like a bike...assembles the same way. Do you have a bike shop near you. They could help you in minutes. My son had to do it as I was lost. Or like others have said...try utube.

When it is being shipped I don't think so. For a bike fully assembled your likely going to need to go to a bike store. The only items needing assembly was: Tires onto bike frame, handle bars on to goose neck, gear shift levers onto handle bars and pedals. The complicated items are complete: handle bar tape, brake levers, cabling, sprocket and axles. There were some minor adjustments needed on the front derailleur. I do have mechanic experience so I did not even need to go online for directions, but that is available as well.. Hope this helps.
