A little difficult to get the chain on but it wasn't too bad with two people but it took a while. I did though I think I was buying a seven speed bike and didn't pay attention cuz I was looking at a bunch of seven speed bikes and I can't this one popped up in a search assuming it was the same thing. So hoping my 70 some year old brother will have no problem going on a slight incline with it. But by the time you put it together realize it's not what you thought it's a little bit too late to return it. Hoping for the best. The basket is good for him.
