on keeping stock of every part of the bike (fenders, chain guards, forks, cables, etc.) with the exception of the frame.

This is extremely important as rental bikes are used daily and wear and tear is inevitable.

Stock parts are available to you to ensure your fleet is up and running.

  • For peace of mind, every fleet package also includes a starter kit of spare parts and tools.
