1985
The first flat tire
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.

About us · on the road in Zurich
One small team. One cargo bike. Mobile in Zurich.
We're a small team with a cargo bike. Our photos show what matters: your bike, the tools, the street.
Our story
From the first flat tire in 1985 to the cargo bike in 2024.
Four decades of bike experience in a small team. Here are the milestones that made us VELOV.
-
- 2005–2015
Training and experience
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.
- 2020
VELOV — the mobile idea
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.

Your bike in focus
We photograph what we work on: your bike, the tools, the street it stands in. You meet us at your door — and what we can do, you see on your bike when we ride off.
What matters to us
Our 6 principles.
These aren't marketing lines. These are the rules we work by every day.
Fixed price before we start
No surprises. You know what you pay beforehand. Even if the repair takes longer or shorter.
Cargo bike trip
We come by cargo bike. Zero CO₂. Through every traffic jam. To every address, even the narrowest Niederdorf alley.
Original parts
For safety-critical parts we use original spares with manufacturer warranty. No no-name on brakes.
Quick reply
WhatsApp is our channel. You message, we reply fast — also evenings, also weekends.
Local & honest
Zurich mechanics. We speak DE, EN, FR, IT, ES. We honestly say no when we can't do something (e.g. battery repair).
Sustainability
We extend your bike's life instead of selling you a new one. Old bikes? We pick them up and recycle them fully.
What we photograph
The camera points at your bike.
Our pictures show what VELOV is about. Three things.
we ♥ velo
1. Your bike. Before and after. It's the reason we come.
2. The tools. So you see what gets used on your bike — straight out of the cargo bike.
3. Your street. Wiedikon, Käferberg, Bürkliplatz: we repair where your bike stands.
You'll meet us anyway — at your door. We come to every Zurich district — and recently also to the 75+ brand universe.

Megacooler Service. Ich sitz im Büro während mein Velo auf der Strasse repariert wird. Kommunikation via WhatsApp total unkompliziert. Bequemer geht es nicht.
