OnTheRoad

Bike mechanic at home in Amsterdam

A mobile mechanic for your e-bike, at home or in the office.

A bike mechanic at home in Amsterdam means your bike stays where it is. OnTheRoad is a mobile e-bike mechanic: we bring a cargo bike full of tools to your address and do the work on site. No taking your bike on the tram and no days without transport. A service visit costs €45,00, including travel and VAT. Read below how a visit works and which bikes we service.

Our mechanic and mobile workshop during a visit in Amsterdam

How does a mobile bike mechanic work?

At a regular bike shop, you drop off your bike and collect it later. A mobile mechanic reverses that. Book online, choose a time and the mechanic comes to you.

When booking, enter your postcode, make and model and describe the work needed. You see the price and available times before confirming, so the mechanic knows which parts to bring. They do the work at your door and discuss anything else they notice. You pay afterwards.

At home or at the office

You choose the address. Many customers have their bike checked at home, but work is just as convenient: the mechanic services it while you work.

The bike must be accessible. If it is outside your door, the mechanic can start immediately. If it is in a bike store, shed or basement, arrange for someone to let the mechanic in, or put it outside in advance. Tell us where the bike is and how to reach you when booking. We call or message before doing extra work.

What's the mechanic got on him?

The cargo bike is a mobile workshop, carrying tools for brakes, tyres and drivetrain maintenance, plus lubricant, contact spray and wax. We bring the parts you select when booking, such as an inner tube or brake pads for your model.

That is why we ask for your make and model in advance. Parts that do not fit your bike are no use to anyone.

What kind of bikes are we here for?

We are clear about our service: e-bike maintenance, rather than a general bike shop. We work on Cowboy, Tenways, Veloretti and VanMoof. The booking form shows the supported models.

We are not the right service for an ordinary city bike, cargo bike or road bike. For e-bikes, we handle mechanical work: periodic maintenance, tyres and inner tubes, brake pads, brake bleeding, belts or chains and adjustment. We do not repair motors, batteries, displays or other electronics.

Neighbourhoods within the ring

We enter the ring in Amsterdam, including in the Centrum, de Jordaan, De Pijp, Oud-West, De Baarsjes, Oost en Zuid. The border is a distance, no neighborhood name: up to 3 km from the Rijksmuseum you do not pay a travel fee, from 3 to 6 km, and over 6 km booking is not possible. We do not do Amsterdam-Noord. The zipcode check in the booking form tells you in a few seconds where your address is covered.

How much does a bike mechanic cost at home?

There is no separate travel charge: it is included in the fixed visit price.

- Service visit with maintenance: €45,00 - The same visit 3 to 6 km from the Rijksmuseum: €60,00 - Inner tube: €15,00 extra - Brake pads: €24,00 extra per side - Brake bleeding: €30,00 per brake - Second bike at the same address: €25,00

An exact arrival time costs €7,50. A wider time window is free.

Have your bike repaired at home: what do you get?

Every visit starts with the same turn, even if you only book for a flat tyre. The mechanic tracks the brakes, tires, bolts and lighting, cleans the belt or chain and lubricates it, and finishes it with contact spray, silicone spray and wax. Then he does the work you booked. If he encounters something that was not agreed, you first hear what it costs. Additional work is €25,00 every 30 minutes and only happens with your agreement.

Mobile bike mechanic or bike shop?

A mobile mechanic is useful for work that can be done on the pavement: periodic maintenance, a tyre, brake pads or brake bleeding. You keep your bike at home and do not need to travel.

A shop or brand workshop is better for warranty work, motor, battery or display faults, and major repairs that need a fixed workshop. Unsure which applies? Message us on WhatsApp before booking and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
