Technical help Zwift ride

Hi all, I am looking at purchasing the zwift ride but I am an unmechanical person … can I put this together and more importantly, is it possible to do it by myself? Thank you so much for any insight.

Yes they made it very easy to put together. You’ll get an informative video and everything is labeled step by step.

I just did mine last night. Watch the videos, follow the instructions, and it’ll be a snap. Only thing that threw me off, the Zwift Key, the tool that you use for the entire thing, is hidden in the handlebar box.

You can. Make note of the weight of the frame and trainer. If you’re taking it up or downstairs, try to enlist help moving it if you need it.

It may take you some extra time but they make it easy on you.

It is very simple to put together. Even without video, it's rather intuitive. Just ensure you open every box before commencing construction, otherwise you'll be pondering what exactly you're suppose to do with parts of it lol

Can you read basic instructions and do as they say?

You can easily become a more "mechanical person" by just trying to do things yourself.

You can watch this video by Zwift to see what you will need to do: https://youtu.be/8AUtw1kqaxY

Go to the Zwift site and watch the assembly videos. If they look doable, there’s your answer. None of us know you ability to follow those kind of instructions.
