How to Craft a Bicycle in 7 Days to Die

As a seasoned survivor of the post-apocalyptic wasteland that 7 Days to Die has become, I can confidently guide you through the process of acquiring and utilizing a trusty bicycle. First off, let me tell ya, if you ain’t got no bike yet, consider yourself lucky – the competition for those two-wheelers is fierce out here!


In the game “7 Days to Die“, players aim to advance by creating essential items for survival and exploring a zombie-ridden open world. Yet, due to the vastness of the map, navigating the diverse terrain on foot can be challenging, particularly during the initial stages.

Fortunately, the game 7 Days to Die provides a wide range of transport options for players, enabling them to traverse the game world quickly and effortlessly. One such vehicle accessible to all players is a bicycle. Although it’s not as fast as other available vehicles, it can prove quite useful during the early stages of the game when players have yet to secure a car.

Before building a Bicycle in 7 Days to Die, players have another option available: they can acquire this vehicle by successfully finishing Tier 1 Trader Quests at the start of the game. Each player will be given five simple quests that must be completed. Once these tasks are accomplished, the initial trader, known as Rekt, will provide various rewards to the players, among which is a Bicycle. It’s strongly suggested for those completing all Tier 1 quests from Trader Rekt to select the Bicycle when choosing their rewards.

As a gamer, I’ve got an exciting opportunity! Instead of choosing other rewards, I can craft my very own bike. To get started, I need to dive into the Vehicle Adventures magazine, specifically 5 out of every 100 issues. Once I’ve read those, the magical Bicycle unlocks for me!

How to Get Wheels

In the game “7 Days to Die,” the Wheel is a vital component needed for building various types of vehicles. This important item can be accessed once you’ve read 5 out of 100 skill magazines focusing on Tier 1 Vehicles and their adventures.

Wheels are often found as typical loot on the ground, especially at places like garages and gas stations. However, if you’re having trouble finding some on your own, you can always create them using the resources provided in the following list:

  1. Forged Iron x3
  2. Scrap Polymers x24
  3. Oil x2
  4. Coal x15
  5. Bottle of Acid x1

In this game, neither Scrap Polymers nor Bottles of Acid can be made through crafting; instead, they are items you’ll discover as loot. You can gather Scrap Polymers and Oil by using a wrench on wrecked cars. Conversely, you might stumble upon Bottles of Acid in various locations such as sinks, chemistry sets, cars, trash, and numerous other spots scattered across the maps.

You may discover Forged Iron as loot while venturing through the maps, or craft it at the Forge using Combustible fuel and Iron. Additionally, Coal can be mined from Coal Ore deposits, or obtained by felling trees in the Burnt Forest region.

How to Get Bicycle Chassis

Building your own bicycle requires constructing a crucial component known as the Bicycle Frame. This component becomes accessible for construction once you’ve completed 5 out of 100 Vehicle Adventures. To create it, head over to your Workbench. Unfortunately, you can’t discover this piece lying around; instead, you must gather the necessary resources and craft it yourself.

  1. Forged Iron x7
  2. Mechanical Parts x3
  3. Duct Tape x3
  4. Leather x3
  5. Spring x3

It’s straightforward to gather an abundance of Mechanical Components and Springs from various sources, including scavenging roadside vehicle wreckage. Additionally, Mechanical Components can be sourced from a wide range of items like air conditioners, office chairs, shopping carts, ovens, and so on. However, always keep in mind that you’ll need a wrench to dismantle these items and acquire the necessary resources.

1 Duct Tape is manufactured using a single portion of Adhesive and ten pieces of Fabric scraps, or it can be found as treasure inside containers.

How to Get Bicycle Handlebars

In addition to gathering all other components for assembling a bicycle, the handlebars will become accessible once you’ve read 5 out of 100 skill magazines about vehicle adventures. Similar to the frame, the handlebars must be crafted at the workbench using these resources:

  1. Duct Tape x3
  2. Leather x3
  3. Mechanical Parts x1
  4. Short Iron Pipe x9
  5. Spring x3

Most of the resources you’re using have already been discussed in the preceding parts. However, there’s one more resource, a Short Iron Pipe, that you’ll need to finish your resource collection for assembling a bicycle. Luckily, you can get a Short Iron Pipe from various sources such as air conditioners, toilets, and car scraps, similar to many other supplies.

As a gamer, I realize that my bike in the game won’t last forever – it’ll eventually break down like any other vehicle. When it finally blows up, it’s crucial to act fast and get it fixed before it’s too late. To do that, you’ll need a Repair Kit from your inventory. Once you have it, simply press and hold ‘E’ while standing next to the bike and facing it. Then, choose ‘Repair’ from the menu that pops up to fix the bike and keep on rolling!

Beyond repairing the bike via its various functions, it offers several other practical benefits as well. For instance, if your pack is overflowing, you can utilize the bike’s built-in storage compartment to hold additional items. This could be particularly useful for maximizing your loot collection when scavenging in isolated areas.

From the open menu, you can find all the essential details about your bicycle. Within this menu, you’ll discover a repair option that lets you fix issues using a repair kit. Furthermore, you have an opportunity to personalize and modify your bike by utilizing two slots for additional features and one slot for cosmetic changes, both accessible directly from the open menu.
