As we live in a remote area of Scotland we were worried about ordering and having to "construct" the bike on delivery, there was no need, the lightweight Compact Plus bike comes folded, extremely well packed & protected. Carefully removed from box and packaging, all we had to do was unfold and click the bike into upright position, put on pedals (left thread for left pedal) and adjust handle bar tilt, everything else was in place including the rear luggage rack. We were most impressed with the ease of it all and now enjoying cycling again without uphill struggles 😉
