The tools needed will largely depend on which model you have. I have an Electra and it need lots of different size spanners, some are not common. To get the rear wheel off you need a 24mm flat ring spanner. To adjust the chain you need a 30mm ring. 18mm is used quite often and you will need that to perform a standard maintenance. I suggest you do all the servicing things you thing you might want to do, and make sure you have the tools for those jobs. For some reason there is a set of tyre levers in the bikes tool kit, but no spanner to get the wheel off. The supplied tyre levers are useless, get a pair of heavy duty ones with a good bit of leverage. I was shocked at the weight of the tools needed, being my old BMW toolkit plus the Enfields toolkit plus about double that again in weight of other tools.
