  • Two inner tubes in one visit:€75,00 total
  • Brake pads both sides: €45,00 + 2 × €24,00 =€93,00 total
  • Bleeding both brakes: €45,00 + 2 × €30,00 = €105,00 total

Frequently asked cost questions

How much is a maintenance service for an electric bike?

At OnTheRoad in Amsterdam, a maintenance service costs €45,00 all-in at the door (within the €60,00 ring): the mechanic comes to you, runs everything, adjusts, cleans belt or chain and lubricates, puts contact spray on the connectors and closes with silicone spray and a wax finish - travel and VAT included. You only pay after the appointment.

How much does replacing a flat tire on an e-bike cost?

Count on €60,00 total in the center: €45,00 service visit at the door plus €15,00 for a new inner tube, including installation and VAT. A new tyre costs €39,00 to €45,00 per tyre, installation included.

How much does a tape paste an e-bike cost?

We replace inner tubes rather than patching them (€15,00 per tube, in addition to the €45,00 visit). Combined with the maintenance visit in central Amsterdam, the total is €60,00.

How much does replacement of brake pads cost on an e-bike?

€24,00 per side, on top of the service visit of €45,00. Both sides will be replaced at €93,00 in total, at the door and VAT included. The mechanic will also check the rest of your brakes with each appointment.

How much does brake bleeding cost?

Hydraulic brake bleeding costs €30,00 per side in addition to the €45,00 service visit. Both brakes together cost €105,00 in total. A spongy lever that pulls back too far is a sign of air in the line.

How often does an e-bike need a maintenance?

Rule of thumb: every 2,000 kilometers, for most city riders once or twice a year. Drive daily or through weather and wind, then hold the top - brake pads and tyres wear on an e-bike faster than on a regular bike.

Can the ANWB Road Guard fix a flat tire?

Only with a separate ANWB Bicycle Spech-help subscription, and that service brings you mainly on your way or home. If you are just at home or at work in Amsterdam, OnTheRoad comes along and replaces the band on the spot - €60,00 total, at an available time in the booking form.

Do you guys do battery overhaul or engine replacement?

We do maintenance: tires, brake pads, brake bleeding and maintenance. For battery, motor and electronics work we refer you to specialist partner shops - then you are sure that it will happen well.
