Does the bike come 90% assembled as most competitors? If not, what all must be done? Is it essentially from scratch?

Ours came mostly put together and it didn't take long to finish the assembly.

No it doesn't. Not completely. The stuff you do have to put together is not that bad. You need to put on the tires, handle bars, brake calipers on the frame, align brakes correctly, seat, and pedals. I think that was it. It is an amazing bike though for the money. I am a big guy and it has performed well for me.

Only partially assembled, the brakes were already assembled and tires partially inflated. When mine arrived the stem for the handle bars were attached upside down; I think it was done so it would fit in the shipping box. Once I figured that out it took about 30 minutes to put together. Good quality bike .

Yes it is totally assembled. All you have to do is extend the seat, lock the frame, lock the handlebars to the stem and raise them, then extend the handlebars...hop on the bike and ride. Bike is fairly well adjusted right out of the box,but probably good idea to have everything adjusted by a Dahon bike shop.

The handle bars and seat were not assembled - good, solid tools are supplied with the package and it was easy to do. There is lots of Styrofoam surrounding the bike in the box - open it somewhere where the little bits won't get all over your living room :). A couple other things - there is no kickstand (even though it was promised), they said they are still making it and it will be sent out in April if you register your bike. And, fenders are very hard to find - I ended up buying parts for other fenders and custom fitting them to the bike.

Yes, It is. You should have knowledge, in assembling the Bike. Otherwise it may be assembled poorly. I had my purchase returned, because of that fact. Then I found the bike at a Walmart Retail store pre-assembled, as well as a cheaper price no less!

This dirt bike was about 80% assembled, you will need to install the front wheel and handle bar at arrival.

As I'd expect most bikes will be, when shipped, this one is NOT assembled 100%. The brakes and derailleurs are close, but I'd recommend some adjustment. The rest of the assembly is rather simple. You could also check with a local bike shop for their assembly charge.

No, but pretty easy to assemble. Still, once you do, I would recommend going to a local bike store to make sure it's been doom right. That's what I did.

This bike comes partially assembled but does require you to do the rest. It will require about an hour of your time to do what is left.

Not very difficult. Majority comes assembled, I only had to install the front wheel, the seat, the handlebars, and the pedals. The rear wheel and all the gearing was preassembled.

No it is not completely assembled,however,I followed the instructions and was able to put it together. The peddles, front wheel, handlebars and seat must be put on. The tires have to be inflated. If you can follow instructions, you should not have a problem.

Most of the parts are assembled. You need to put a seat, pedals, and a handle together. An instruction booklet is included and you can also find youtube instructional video online. Good luck!

The bike is mostly assembled. You will need to put on the rims (with tires already on rims), handle bars(brakes already assembled) and foot pedals. I was worried about it when it came in the box but I had it put together and my daughter riding in less than an hour or so. The directions are straight forward and you don't need any fancy tools. If you were worried yourself, you could take it to your local bike shop and I'm sure they would look it over and tighten anything up for a small fee.My daughter rides the bike regularly and it has held up very well. It is a great buy.

This bike is semi-assembled. It should take you less then 1 hour. Or you can take it to a bike shop and have them do it for you

It comes completely assembled. All you have to do is take it out of the box and it's ready to ride!

While not fully assembled, it is nearly so. I think I had to put on the wheels, pedals, seat-seatpost assembly, and stem-handlebar assembly. Certainly didn't require a bike mechanic.
