Box, parts and damage review
We inventory included hardware, keep the manufacturer instructions with the job and flag visible shipping damage.
New bike and e-bike assembly
Boxed bikes can arrive with the front wheel, handlebar, pedals, brakes and controls only partly set up. We assemble and adjust the mechanical components, follow the supplied manufacturer instructions and provide pickup and return so parents can start with a careful mechanical setup.
From box to mechanically ready
The exact work depends on how the manufacturer packed the bike and which accessories were included.

The wheel, handlebar, stem, saddle and pedals are installed and aligned according to the bike maker's instructions.
Accessible assembly fasteners are checked against the supplied instructions and tightened to the listed specifications.
Brake alignment, lever feel, control position and cable routing are checked before the bike is considered mechanically ready.
Shifting, chain, wheel security, tire pressure and basic wheel alignment are adjusted and inspected.
The completed bike receives a final inspection and a controlled test ride when its condition and setup allow.
For parents and young riders
E-bikes are heavier and can accelerate differently than a standard bicycle. A careful mechanical setup is important, but the parent or guardian still decides whether a model is appropriate for the child and riding environment.
Before pickup
Leave the bike in its box with the manual, keys, hardware, pedals, reflectors and accessories that came with it.
Include the rider's height, the bike model and any accessories you want installed in your booking notes.
Do not charge or power on a battery that is swollen, leaking, unusually hot or visibly damaged. Contact us before scheduling normal pickup.
E-bikes and complex assemblies start at $199. Pickup and return are free on scheduled Treasure Valley route days.
