Take the buycycle box out of the transport box and unfold it. The pre-marked folding lines will guide you.
Secure the flaps to close the bottom of the box. Reinforce with tape to keep it firmly sealed.
Take the cardboard sheet with holes and fold it into a cube, as shown in the picture.
Fold the two cardboard pieces in half.
Take the cardboard and fold it along the folding lines to form a U-shape.
Place the cardboard cube inside the rail and secure it using the two holders.
Remove the pedals using an Allen key or pedal wrench, and store them in the accessory box.
Remove the front wheel.
For disc brakes, cut a small piece of cardboard and use it as a spacer between the brakes.
Take the front axle holder and attach it securely to the front axle, as shown in the picture.
Change gears until the chain is on the smallest rear gear. Then remove the rear axle and wheel, and insert a brake spacer if you have disc brakes, just as you did before.
Mount the rear axle support.
The wheel protector with the hole goes on the back wheel with the cassette, and the other one on the front wheel.
Attach the wheel covers to the spokes. Protect the cassette with bubble wrap.
Packing the bike is easier with the handlebar removed. Simply loosen the stem screws and rotate the handlebar 90 degrees.
Tape the loose handlebar securely to the frame. Avoid any rubbing and ensure the frame is protected.
Wrap all frame parts with bubble wrap to protect them.
Learn how to box the bike and secure it.
Place the bike into the box.
Ensure that the front and rear axle supports are stabilizing the bike in the box and are firmly touching the box walls.
Lower the seatpost so it fits into the box. Do not use force. If it still doesn’t fit, remove the seatpost and wrap it separately.
Use the cardboard box that the packaging came in as a divider between the frame and other parts inside the box for extra protection.
Insert the wheels. Always place cardboard between the wheels and the frame, and make sure the cassette points away from the frame.
Place all accessories mentioned in the ad into the accessory box, and then put it inside the main box. Close the box using tape and thats it!
No direct contact between wheels, frame, or components.
This can cause scratches. Add extra padding between wheels and frame. This is the most common damage seen during shipping so the more protection the better.
Protect the fork and rear triangle from pressure and compression.
Avoid bulky or modified boxes — no parts should stick out.
Do not alter the box.
If your bike doesn’t fit, contact our support instead of modifying the packaging.
Important Reminders:
You are responsible for proper packaging.
Use extra padding where needed and make sure the bike is secure and no parts are touching.
Correct packaging prevents transport damage and ensures your payout is not delayed.
You are required to upload pictures of the packaging process to get the shipping label. Take at least 3 photos of the unpacked order next to the packaging material and 3 photos of the packed order.
