can you put it together without the front handle bars (so your knees won't hit them)?

The upper (forward) handle bars can be left off. I only use them to hang my headset on when I'm not riding. I find the lower handles more comfortable while exercising.
1872022
Yes. Just use the screw and bolt to put the holder together without the handle bar.

You can put it together in a way that the handle bars point up, out of the way of your knees. I remember this being an issue, but fixed it.

The bars can adjust up to become almost flush with the pole they're attached to. My husband is 6'6" and long legged. He has no problem with it. It's a great bike and he says comparable in comfort to one he used when he had physical therapy post surgery. We don't remember if it can be assembled without them, but looking at it, it appears you could.

Absolutely. The front handle-bars only attach to a mounting clap and have no other structural function. I left them off as I would probably hit them with my knee as I had to turn the console up as far as I could to prevent contact with my knee. Frankly I wished the console were smaller. The bottle holder and 'reading tray' are not needed. I do wonder if the smaller console of the model before this one would work on this bike. Might call the company and ask them.

not without considerable time.... the basket has two bolts connected to the front wheel on each side and in two places on the handlebar.... its a pretty sollid piece that you just cant pull or rip off without tools n time ( n I live in bike theft captial of Miami... so...i recommend it)

Sure. It is a really nice bike. It comes unassembled though so you will have to put it together.Hope this helps!Sandra

Yes you can assemble it without the back. I bought it and I love the back on mine. Great stool.

no, it needs minimum assembly, like attaching the handle bars, pedeals, front wheel, and I think also the seat to the base all needs to be assembled, it comes with a good manual that gives you the instructions

No you have to put it together. It's pretty easy to assemble. You have to attach the hand bars, front tire, pedals, seat, and training wheels.

Not completely but it is easy to put together. Need to put the front tire, handle bars & pedals on.

I don't see why not. The bike is secured via the rear axle being clamped between the two "adjusting bolts". You can see in the picture here that have the plastic handles on them. You can also purchase a "leveling block" to put under the front wheel to get the front of the bike a little higher. I just used a wooden block I had laying around...I hope this helps..

I would not recommend that, it would be very awkward to start with and this bike was not built to stand up on. Handle bars would be far too low to be comfortable.You could try it but I think you would not like it.

You will have to put on the front wheel, pedals, and seat. And the handlebars as well. No special tools are needed just the basics to complete what they have sent you.

You will need a front riser so you do not feel you are going over the handle bars. I am sure you can make something up but I bought one since I knew it would work and it would be level.

Yes but not from scratch. You will need to install the wheels (no tools needed), straighten the handlebars (with allen wrench), and mount the seat (no tools). Very easy stuff. If you need to mount the pedals, use a thin wrench and turn COUNTER CLOCKWISE to tighten!

The bike is 90% assembled in the box. You would have to assemble the front wheel, handle bar, seat and pedals. Also you might have to adjust the brakes on the bike.

No, but it is easy assembly. You just have to put on the seat, handle bars, and peddles.

Yes, you able to sit upright without holding the handlebars and no, you do not lean forward.You will love this bike. The handlebars are not far from your body. I hope this helps. You will not be disappointed!!!

80 percent. You'll have to assemble the handle bars, front tire, peddles, and seat. The back wheel and chain come assembled. All in all, pretty easy to put together. Instructions are included with pictures.
