What didn't go well

Battery supply delays

Our biggest drag on the quarter

  1. 1

    What happened

    Batteries arrived late from suppliers, so some repairs and bike orders had to wait.

  2. 2

    What it meant

    Customers waited longer than we want — repairs are taking around 6 days.

  3. 3

    What we'll do

    Line up backup battery suppliers and keep more of our most-used batteries in stock.

Three priorities for Q4

01

Launch cargo bike rentals

02

Open a second workshop

03

Cut repair wait from 6 days to 3

01 · Launch cargo bike rentals

  • Add cargo bike rentals alongside sales and servicing
  • A new revenue line built on our e-bike expertise
  • Lets more riders try a cargo bike before they buy one
New for Q4
Rentals

02 · Open a second workshop

2,140
bikes serviced in Q3
  • More capacity for a workshop that serviced 2,140 bikes last quarter
  • The biggest lever for halving repair waits
  • Room to grow servicing alongside new rentals

03 · Halve the repair wait
