Explore: Easy Assembly

We've been shipping recumbents to riders for years, and we understand how difficult it can be to assemble a boxed bike, especially if you're not a mechanic. We've spent lots of time perfecting our shipping methods to make your assembly job as easy as possible, requiring few tools and even less time. Our packaging is custom-made for Volae bikes, allowing us to ship your bike nearly fully assembled. This requires truck shipment by Bax Global, as these custom containers are not within FedEx or UPS allowable dimensions. This is more work and expense for us, but a much more satisfying experience for you.

Your new Volae will be shipped almost entirely assembled, adjusted, test-ridden and ready to go. Check out our Quickstart Assembly Guide to see just how little you're in for.

I just wanted to email to thank you for putting together one of the best, if not the best, bike I have ever ridden (that includes a Klein, Lightning P38, an old Colnago and assorted others over the years). Today I went on a ride that according to the Lightning's computer is 16.4 miles and according to the Cateye wireless that I put on the Volae Team is 16.5 miles so they are roughly correctly calibrated. On the Lightning my best average speed this year (I am not in peak shape by any means) is 15.5 mph. There are a couple of steep but not too long hills that kill the average speed. On the Volae Team today my average speed without straining was 16 mph. My average speed going up hills is 2-3 mph faster on the Team than on the Lightning. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't experienced it. The reason I think is just just great ergonomics, at least for me. I can literally feel that I am getting more power out of my muscles because I am better positioned on the pedals. It just feels great.
