Bike arrives directly from the factory and requires assembly and tuning before use. It does not include assembly instructions, so if you are not an expert, you may probably look for help. While assembly of this factory direct bike is simple, it takes time and specialized tools which are not included. The brand recommends bringing it to a local shop for a safety check/tuning by a qualified bike mechanic prior to riding and at regular intervals thereafter.

However, it is not a montaing or complex terrain bike, so, you will have to take care of that to avoid unpleasant breaks.

This is a great urban commuter in flat areas. The Vilano Urbana is a really lightweight commuter bike, perfect for a cool bike club style! It is also a single speed, you can fold it easily to storage in a small space. Requires minimal maintenance but just suitable for temporary use, not strong enough for a hard daily use.

This bike will arrive mostly assembled in a large cardboard box. I would only recommend the bike be used for street use only, no hills, and only if you are 140lbs or less. Otherwise, the frame will probably buckle under your weight and continual use down hill.
