I'm the boss, I ride the cargo, I fix your bike. When it's busy, friends help — also trained mechanics. We come by cargo bike to you, you don't carry anything. Repairs happen next to you while you keep working.
Bike mechanic passion since 1985. Mobile workshop for Zurich since 2020.
I'm the chief, I ride the cargo, I fix your bike. Sometimes friends help when it's busy. No selfies — just real shots of the tools and the road.
Four decades of bike experience across a small team. Here are the milestones that made us VELOV.
Eight years old, first own tube change — in the Wiedikon courtyard, with dad's tools, under the neighbour's guidance. The bike love was there from the start.
Apprenticeship as a two-wheel mechanic. 10+ years in stationary workshops in Zurich — from city bikes to the e-bike boom. We've had thousands of bikes through our hands.
Pandemic lockdown. Full workshops, 4-week waits. We thought: what if we brought the workshop to the bike instead of the other way around? Cargo bike + tool set = mobile workshop. The first customers via WhatsApp from Wiedikon.
WhatsApp messages turned into many happy regulars. 141 Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars. I now serve all 12 Zurich districts plus the outer ring. At peaks, mechanic friends help out.
I'm a regular bike mechanic — Birkenstocks, wool socks, more tools than clothes. No selfies because I'm not an influencer. I fix bikes. Look at your bike after I'm gone — that says more than a photo of my face.
These aren't marketing lines. These are the rules we work by every day.
No surprises. You know what you pay beforehand. Even if the repair takes longer or shorter.
We come by cargo bike. Zero CO₂. Through every traffic jam. To every address, even the narrowest Niederdorf alley.
For safety-critical parts we use original spares with manufacturer warranty. No no-name on brakes.
WhatsApp is our channel. You message, we reply fast — also evenings, also weekends.
Zurich mechanics. We speak DE, EN, FR, IT, ES. We honestly say no when we can't do something (e.g. battery repair).
We extend your bike's life instead of selling you a new one. Old bikes? We pick them up and recycle them fully.
We don't take photos of our faces. Instead: cargo bike, workshop, your bike, Zurich view. Three reasons.
1. I'm a mechanic, not an influencer. You book me because your bike is broken. My face is irrelevant to that.
2. Cargo + tools = what matters. Who I am as an individual matters less than what I do. Cargo bike at the door, bike fixed, done.
3. Birkis + wool socks. Yes, I know.
Who we are? Look at our feet in the photos. What we can do? Look at your bike after we're gone. We come to every Zurich district — and recently also to the 75+ brand universe.

We're a mobile workshop — no storefront. Service happens at your place.
Real reviews on Google. We don't hide critical voices — read them all.
"Faster than expected. Wrote on WhatsApp at 14:00, by 14:38 the mechanic was at my door with the cargo bike. Flat fixed, brake adjusted, CHF 99. Will be back."
"Our family cargo had brake issues before a weekend trip. Standard workshops: 2 weeks. VELOV: fixed Friday evening, all seat belts checked. Top."
"E-Bike service at my door. Bosch diagnostic, brakes, chain — all in 90 minutes. While I worked in the garden. Never going back to a shop."
