Why VELOV
Not your usual bike job
You're your own boss
You're self-employed. Tell us when you're free – we send you the repairs. One day a week or the whole season.
Speed pays
No hourly wage slowing you down. You earn per repair. Fast, clean work means more money.
Do more, earn a higher percentage
Your commission grows with your month: 30 %, then 38 %, then 45 % on every extra franc.
Everything's ready for you
E-bike or e-cargo bike, tools, parts, customers, route and billing in the app. Just bring your hands.
Our customers are great
People are happy to see you – you save their day. And the best part: tips and coffee are yours. 100 % of tips, on top of your earnings.
Weekends and evenings: your best shifts
We work Saturdays and Sundays too – often the busiest days. And we ride until 10 pm, because many customers only have time after work. Be available then and you get the most repairs.
A summer day
What your day can look like
- 08:00Open the app: today's repairs, already sorted by route.
- 08:20Hop on the e-cargo bike, off to the first bike in Wiedikon.
- 09:00Flat tyre, brakes, service – right at the front door. The customer pays by TWINT, done.
- 12:00Lunch by the lake. You decide when to take a break.
- 16:30Short break or call it a day – your choice.
- 19:00After-work customers: now people have time – often the best hours.
- 22:00Last repair of the day. Saturday and Sunday it goes on.
Do the maths
How much can you earn?
One repair = one customer, one bike. Here every repair counts as a flat tyre: the customer pays CHF 99, CHF 84 (call-out + labour) counts towards your commission, and the tube earns you a 3 % bonus. A big service pays you more.

FAQ
Questions everyone asks
Do I need a formal qualification?
No. You need to be able to service a bike on your own – where you learned it doesn't matter.
Are there fixed hours?
No. Tell us when you're free and you get repairs for those times. We work seven days a week until 10 pm – weekends and evenings are often the busiest.
Am I employed?
No, you work self-employed on your own account and handle your own AHV (social security) and taxes.
What about winter?
Fewer repairs, about 10 a week – a great way to start. From spring it really takes off.
Do you repair e-bike batteries or motors?
No, never. Mechanics yes, battery and motor internals no.
