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.

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

There is some assembly required. You assemble the handle bars, brakes, seat and peddles. My husband did not find it too difficult to complete.

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

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.

I had no issues assembling this bike, there were, however, parts missing(nuts and bolts) i replaced those got the bike together and went for a short ride to test it all out before i let my GF(who the bike is for) ride it. Well i immediately regretted buying the bike. The frame is bent and pulls to the right. i should have spent a little more and got a better bike. She seems to like it overall but she also regrets the purchase and i probably wont ever buy a bike off amazon again because of it Local Bike shops for me from now on. the 6 speed gears are a plus. having the baskets is nice but the whole bike seems poorly engineered.

No. No, and no. It comes very unassembled. Very easy to assebmle for someone maderately capable. Fine tuning is a pain. If your not an avid bike tinkerer spend $30 at your local dealer and have the pro's dial it in. Note: my GF has small hands and we had to swap out the brake levers. This cost an extra $30 - $40. She loves the bike now.

It does not come assembled. It is partly assembled but if I recall you still have to attach the handlebars and pedals, seat, etc... you can do it yourself but I'd recommend taking it to your local bike shop.

Yes it is mostly assembled, you have to put on the handles and pedals. Not difficult at all.

It came assembled. Had to put on front wheel, seat , handle bar and pedals. It was very easy.

My bike came mostly assembled. I think all I had to do was put the handle bars and pedals on. And maybe a wheel. Don't actually remember. Everything was already adjusted though. And it anything is not to your liking, the manual explains how to adjust everything. Seat height and handle bar height are easy and that's all I changed. Gearing setting are probably the most confusing but mine was set perfect right out of the box. With all that being said, if I could do over again I would probably get a different bike. I got the Schwinn midmoor. I don't really dislike anything about it but If given the opportunity, I would try another brand or style of bike. Maybe something more "sporty". If that makes any sense. My wife loves hers and we go on long rides often. If you get if I'm sure you will like it. It is very comfortable. Hope I haven't confused your decision even more. Lol. Good luck.

The bike does not come assembled. It isn't too hard to put together in my opinion though.

It's almost a full assembly job. The instructions are clear though, so that was helpful. The tension on the bike isn't that great. I was hoping for more tension with a wider range, but it's pretty much two settings (claims to have eight). And the pedals are already making some funny noises inside the unit, which wasn't part of the assembly so I'm not sure how to fix that issue. I think it might be worth it for you to spend a little more money and even get one that comes assembled (if there is such a thing nowadays!). Good luck!

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

The bike comes in a box about 85% assembled. You are responsible in assembling the handle bar , pedals and tires. The box is about 6x2x1. Unfortunately i would not recommend this bike , I have used it less than 3 months and my gears have broken. I use it only for my commute which is about a quarter of a mile, thrice a week to work.
