Bikebook, the UK’s leading platform connecting cyclists with expert mechanics, is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Zelo, the premier service network for the country’s most innovative e-bike and cargo bike brands.
This partnership is designed to tackle the growing “service gap” in the UK’s rapidly expanding e-mobility sector by providing independent mobile mechanics with a direct pathway to scale their businesses through the Zelo network.
As the demand for last-mile delivery and electric commuting surges, the need for specialized, on-site maintenance has outpaced the current infrastructure. The Bikebook x Zelo collaboration solves this by equipping skilled mobile mechanics with the tools, training, and volume of work necessary to thrive in this high-growth market.
Opportunities for New and Established Mechanics
The partnership is actively seeking two types of professionals to join the network:
- Established Mobile Operators: Mechanics with existing businesses looking to diversify their income, secure high-value fleet contracts, and fill their calendars with consistent leads.
- Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Skilled technicians looking to launch their own mobile workshop. Zelo and bikebook provide the foundational support, marketing, and training required to move from an idea to a fully operational, revenue-generating business.
Strengthening the Mobile Mechanic Workforce Through this partnership, mobile mechanics joining the Zelo network will gain access to:
- Authorised Service Status: The opportunity to service the UK’s leading cargo and e-bike brands.
- Automated Workflow: Exclusive leads integrated directly into their Workshop Calendars, eliminating administrative overhead.
- Comprehensive Professional Support: Full technical training and business setup guidance to ensure a gold-standard service delivery.
- Scaled Marketing: National marketing support to boost local visibility and drive sustainable business growth.
