No tools are required to disassemble or assemble your Sidekick. Always disassemble or assemble your Sidekick on a level, dry surface with sufficient room for you to work and move around your scooter. Keep in mind that the disassembled sections of the Sidekick take up more floor space than the assembled Sidekick.
