Hi all, im thinking about starting a Mobile bike mechanic service and wanted to pick some brains.
Ive seen a few offering this type of thing both in the UK and Europe and it seems like an interesting way of utilizing my experience of being a qualified and experienced bike mechanic while keeping overheads low.
My idea is to offer an on call service so a customer could call me out to there home or place of work and while im waiting for calls to come in set up in the local square and tout for passing trade.
So my question is this, what would need in terms of business licenses, insurance that sort of thing?
My initial idea would be to do this part time around my current job but do any of you think this may be sustainable as a full time job in a small city like Peterborough?
Id really like to avoid the cost and pollution of a car or van so would want to run it from a Work cycle similar to The BikeMan or am i being too optimistic about the practicality side if this?
Any other advice, ideas or constructive criticism welcomed 🙂
