cycleWASH offers a range of business opportunities
In addition to car washing, bicycle washing is also becoming more and more interesting for entrepeneurs. The Cologne-based company cycleWASH is offering three new options for companies to benefit from the demand for bicycle care solutions. As a franchise partner or with a limited-term rental and leasing offer, the investment hurdle is reduced.
CycleWASH offers independently developed and multi-patented bicycle washing systems that make washing easy for bicycle customers. Some of the systems can be operated independently and are even mobile as a trailer or on a cargo bike. As a further innovation, cycleWASH is offering its new cycleWashPOINTs, as container-based contact points for a wide range of concerns and needs of cyclists.
Thanks to the modular design, the cycleWASH POINTs can be specifically adapted to local needs: In addition to bicycle washing, a Service POINT also offers repairs and maintenance. The Meeting POINT combines the cycleWASH bicycle washing system with a café. The Parking POINT variant offers secure parking for bicycles and is therefore particularly suitable for park & ​​ride areas of public transport. Additional features such as energy supply via a solar system, rainwater use and e-bike charging stations round off the mobility solution.
Diverse product range
The “cycleWASH Mini STATION” offers manual cleaning with the innovative Clean & Dry Gun. This compact station can be upgraded to the “mini DUO” system if required, which enables semi-automatic cleaning with rotating brushes and spray nozzles.
The “cycleWASH Go” is the most compact and semi-automatic system in the range and only requires the space of a Euro pallet. It offers semi-automatic cleaning in a single pass and is ideal for locations with limited space.
The “cycleWASH Pro” is the flagship of the product line. This fully automatic cleaning robot uses artificial intelligence to adjust the cleaning parameters during the intensive wash cycle. This enables excellent cleaning results with minimal water and energy consumption.
Custumer services
For those who want to enjoy even more service and convenience, cycleWASH offers the “cycleWASH Points” in two versions. These recycled shipping containers offer a comprehensive portfolio of customer services as well as a complete bicycle cleaning infrastructure. In addition to a bicycle washing system and a repair service, the container also offers a cafĂ© and a lounge, showers and changing rooms. There is also a cloud-based monitoring and service app for customers with membership and subscriptions, secure bicycle parking spaces, charging stations and a vending machine for spare parts.
Environmentally friendly
CycleWASH systems impress with their compact design and their fundamentally low energy consumption, which varies depending on the model and equipment. It is possible to convert some models to solar power, so the can be operated independently of the power grid. An integrated oil separator ensures that the waste water is harmless and does not pose an environmental burden. In addition, ultrasound technology is used to clean tires and rims, which is both thorough and gentle. If the dirt is light, the systems do not require any cleaning agent, which is both environmentally friendly and reduces operating costs. Water consumption is extremely low, at an average of three liters per wash. In ECO mode, the water cycle is also closed, which further reduces water consumption. Drying is done by a low-pressure blower that works in an energy-efficient manner.
Flexible partner program
The cycleWASH partner program enables entrepreneurs to enter the bicycle care market. The washing systems can be purchased as a franchise with a minimum term of 3 years or rented or leased at attractive conditions. CycleWASH POINTs are also available as a leasing or franchise offer with a minimum term of 3 years.
As part of the cycleWASH franchise system, a 30% share of sales is charged during the term. With the rental option, payments are made on a monthly basis, with the minimum term of the rental agreement being one year. For the leasing options, cycleWASH offers flexible terms of two to five years.
