The bike seems to be built to look like a single speed type esthetic with the rims and the front chainring, but usually on bikes like that, I think of chain guard ring protector stuff. That bike doesn't have one. Not necessarily bad, they might have left it off for the single speed "look"- but I'd expect to see a guard on something like that bike as stock. Something like this-

Hey...no problem, I love talking about bikes. I learn something new each time.
I have three bikes, this one is a Propella, pedal assist bike that I use mostly when I know I'm headed for hills or a windy day. It must be pedaled or it won't go anywhere.
My bike I use for rails to trails is an 8 speed (I think that's why I was mixed up last night) belt driven Vilano. Perfect bike for stopping and starting often. No need to downshift before stopping.....just thumb it down while stopped to 1st or 2nd and take off. There's a recent thread on here...I'll look for a link.
My third bike is a 24 speed Vilano road bike. I lent that out a few weeks back. I don't like riding that one so much because of my back.
The Propella in the pics is one year old...I had a duplicate that was two years old and it was stolen off of my Swagman bike rack last year.
I have the Garmin Varia on the Propella to make road riding safer. I was hit broad-side 7 years ago and had to have a titanium rod put in my broken femur.
Some reading if you want....

Be sure to read the linked article in my first post. That's exactly what they did.
