A Vilano bike will arrive factory direct and requires an overall tuning and a safety inspection to ensure it is ready and safe to ride. This can be done at a local certified bike shop.


This bike will come about 90% assembled. The only items you will have to install are the front wheel, handlebars, seat/seat post, and pedals. All factory-installed parts should be inspected and adjusted as necessary.

Please Note: Please pay close attention when installing the pedals. There is a right and left pedal, and they are put on clockwise (right) and counterclockwise (left). It is very easy to strip the threads if the pedals are put on incorrectly and forced. Anything threaded is not covered under warranty by Vilano.

*Please note: Even though the bike requires little assembly, as it is a factory-direct bike we would highly advise you to take it to a local bike shop to have them true the wheels, tighten the brakes, etc. and make sure any modifications are done safely. In addition, it is a good idea to bring your bike to the shop for a tune-up after a few rides, and then for annual check-ups.
