Every time you have to climb a hill, you’re glad you invested in an electric bike (e-bike).
I totally understand!
But an electric bike (e-bike) also means dealing with electrical breakdowns.
And even though you may know how to change a derailleur or an inner tube, with an e-bike, you’ll face more complicated repairs.
How much do these repairs cost?
To answer this question, I analyzed the hundreds of repairs done through our bike repair service (also available for e-bikes).
Let me explain everything!
Average cost for different e-bike repair services
Put on your cycling helmet and grab your calculator.
Unsurprisingly, the cost for repairing your e-bike depends on the type of service provider you hire.
I’ve made the comparison for you.
And on average, here’s the budget you should expect depending on the provider:
Yoojo Provider:
Traditional Repair Company:
How did I calculate this?
1️⃣
For Yoojo:
I averaged the 311 e-bike repair jobs completed on our platform.
2️⃣
For traditional companies:
I averaged the rates of online specialized companies. I requested 2 full revision quotes from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Norwich, and Exeter.
E-Bike repair: what is the average hourly rate?
For more precision, let's compare the average hourly rate.
The same concept as above, but more relevant if you already know whether it’s a big or small repair:
Provider on Yoojo:
Traditional repair company:
Providers set their own rates, Yoojo does not impose prices on them. There’s no minimum fee. The price depends on the job.
Providers who apply to your ad are often your neighbors, reducing travel costs significantly.
Providers can be available within one hour: no need for unnecessary half-day fees!
Everything is digital on Yoojo: meaning you pay fewer fees than with a traditional agency.
