Free Bike Build
We don't send you a box of parts
When you receive your bike, all you'll need to do is unpack it, attach the pedals, turn the handlebars and ride. Watch our video guide for full instructions.
To help you get started we've also put together a handy bike build guide.

Receiving your bike
What's in the box?
As well as checking the bike itself, we also make sure you have everything you need packaged with your bike to get started.
Your bike will be securely packaged and will include your buying paperwork and your handbook. You'll also get a free Tredz multi-tool and pedal spanner and pedals to help you get your bike set up.
Balance bikes and trikes are not built before we dispatch them to you. That’s because assembly is part of the fun and you get to keep the original packaging – ideal if you’re giving the bike as a gift to a loved-one. Some balance bikes from brands like Wishbone can be built with 2 or 3 different styles, so we let you choose how to set-up the bike – it’s really easy.
Yes. We want you to be able to get out riding the same day your bike arrives. Every bike is built and quality checked by our Cytech qualified mechanics, then carefully packed by hand. In the box, you’ll find a set of free pedals so you can get started straight away.
Once you’ve unboxed your bike, you’ll only need to:
- Attach the pedals
- Straighten and secure the handlebars
Then you’re ready to ride.
You can upgrade your pedals at any time with our range of premium options. If you’d like help choosing, our team will be happy to guide you.
