El Segundo, CA, September 15, 2016: Elby Bikes, the new hybrid, pedal-assist e-bike, will work closely with Velofix’s fleet of Mobile Bike Shops to deliver fully-built and ready to ride bikes to customers in select markets across the US and Canada. Velofix’s 60 franchises are well-positioned to fulfill orders in nearly all markets and are able to bring their services to the customer’s doorstep, safely completing the build on-site and orienting the owner to their brand new Elby.
Elby’s partnership with Velofix goes further than direct customer distribution to include in-van mobile demos, strategic promotion and sales opportunities, and ongoing customer maintenance and service for Elby owners.
“Modern luxury lifestyle products like Elby deserve a contemporary luxury service that suits a 21st century customer’s expectation of service. Elby is a premium product and we want to meet that consumer expectation by putting their investment in the hands of qualified professionals from the moment it leaves our hands to their first pedal stroke,” said Fred Gingl, Elby Co-Founder. ”You can’t get that if you rely on home assembly and generic delivery drivers.”
“We see, again and again, that today’s consumer wants premium service to come to them on their schedule,” offered Velofix co-founder Chris Guillemet. “Elby built a bike that’s designed to meet the needs of a new consumer. How those customers get their hands on that bike should reflect that sensibility.”
Velofix’s Mobile Bike Shops will also be fully trained to service and maintain Elby bikes, creating a complete and convenient experience for new bike owners that will last Elby’s lifetime.
Bike delivery and in-home customer builds through Velofix will start in October throughout North America. Sales of Elby bikes at elbybike.com.
