The short version is that Yeply is a bike shop on wheels, but in reality, it is much more than that. Our motto is that we keep you riding, and so, were constantly looking for new ways to get involved in sustainable mobility projects, building urban ecosystems one healthy bike at a time. We consider ourselves a friendly and helpful neighbour, the kind that will conveniently lend you a hand when you most need it. On the ground, we offer a revolutionary, same-day bike maintenance service that takes away the pain and hassle of taking your bike to a shop and then waiting for who-knows-how-long to get it back. We service neighbourhoods in convenient shifts, so that you can simply drop off your bike with us, and pick it up a few hours later. On top of this, our own MyYeply app keeps your service records safe, and notifies you when your next service is due. It doesn’t get easier than this. To our business partners, we offer bike maintenance days for the office. Simply book us for a day, and well fix your entire teams bikes, and maybe even teach them a thing or two about tires and pumps. No worries. We also support companies of all sizes on their bike fleet maintenance, whether traditional or electronic. From food delivery services to large corporations with contract bikes, we can tailor our services to suit any maintenance needs. Our tech platform makes sure you always have up-to-date insights into your bike fleet, and that the uptime on your entire fleet stays positive of 90%. We currently offer multi-city coverage in Finland as well as nationwide coverage in Germany, Austria, and The Netherlands, but weve no intention of stopping there - we already have the largest maintenance network in Europe, so the next logical step is to be the #1 player in the world. So, well see you around, neighbours! YEPLY. WE KEEP YOU RIDING.
