How about a family bike ride on October 24?

On Saturday, October 24, La Mécanique Vélo invites you to join us for a Cargo Social Ride!

On the agenda: a fun ride on a cargo bike or longtail bike, suitable for the whole family, to enjoy some quality time together on two wheels.

And because after all that hard work comes a little reward… we’re treating you to breakfast when you get back! 🥐☕

Still no cargo bike?

No problem! We have 3 to 4 cargo bikes available for anyone who wants to try this way of cycling with their family.

A great opportunity to test the cargo ship under real-world conditions, in a friendly atmosphere!

3 years or 3,000 km of free service

Drive with peace of mind

When you purchase a new bike from us, you’ll receive 3 years or 3,000 km of complimentary service (whichever comes first).

✅ How does this offer work?
  • 1 full service per year
    or
  • 1 service every 1,000 km

Service appointments are scheduled in advance to ensure regular and optimal maintenance of your bike.

🔧 What does the service include?
  • Complete control of the bike
  • Complete brake and speed adjustment
  • Software update, if necessary
  • All wear parts included (under normal use)
  • Test Drive and Cleaning

Example: On a Yuba Spicy Curry cargo bike, service costs about 350 CHF per year. With our offer, that amounts to over 1,050 CHF in free service—a real discount on the total cost of your bike.

You drive; we’ll take care of the rest.

New Travel Packages—Effective July 7, 2025

For simplicity and clarity

Starting July 7, 2025, we will be phasing out our old zone-based system (including the free Zone 1) and adopting a single flat-rate fare.
This change is intended to streamline our operations and ensure clearer and fairer pricing for everyone, regardless of the service location.
A new price list will soon be available on our website.
We are, of course, available to answer any questions or provide further details.
