Tips & Guides "Partially assembled", what did you wind up doing?

[CloneWerks]

Partially assembled can mean a lot of things so I'm curious as to what people have had to do with various brands/makes/models. (Discounting the usual seat/handlebars dance to get it fitted to you as the individual)

I'll start off with my Addmotor Motan M-560 P7 where the Basic assembly consisted of;

• Mounting the front tire in the forks
• Mounting the handlebars on the stem
• Attaching the pedals
• Attaching the fenders and front light
• Inflate the tires
• Charge and mount the battery

Additionally

• The front brake was horribly misaligned (rear was perfect)
• Derailleurs needed some fine-tuning (they were super fiddly to work with for some reason)
• Handgrips kept moving around, had to remove and treat w/soapy water. After drying they stayed properly in place.
• Snug multiple bolts up to acceptable torque (mostly on the headset and handlebar controls)

NOTE: Addmotor included a fairly nice and complete little toolset with the bike that took care of all the assembly/adjustment needs though I found I preferred my longer hex-wrench to torque up the seat.

Lectric XP 2.0.....unpacked it....put air in tires....charged batteries although it was probably near 50% and rode it. Very little assembly.
