What our customers say
Reto Frischknecht
In December 2016, the eCruiser caught my eye for the first time at the Designgut in Winterthur. After a brief conversation with the owner Knut Späete, we immediately set off on a short test drive through Winterthur. A short test drive turned into a one-hour round trip, and me and my colleague Michael were totally thrilled!
When I came up with the idea of cycling through Switzerland in spring 2018 to get to know my home country better, I had to look for an alternative to a normal bike due to an injury. I contacted YouMo and told them about my Exploring Switzerland project. I suggested to Knut that he try this on the YouMo and write a tour blog and send photo material of the day’s stages. So in June 2018, I tackled the Switzerland tour with the YouMo and completed it without any major breakdowns. Since that tour, the YouMo has definitely stuck with me, and I bought one for myself immediately afterwards. So now I often cruise with the YouMo to Winterthur in my spare time and can often be found on the eCruiser. I don’t think there is a more stylish e-bike than the YouMo. I wish everyone a safe journey!

I actually got to know the YouMo eCruiser during my vacation, when we stayed in the same accommodation as YouMo owner Knut Späte and his family. I’d been dreaming of a cruiser since a stay in Vancouver, but had refrained from getting one because Switzerland is actually too mountainous to travel with a heavy bike and few gears. The YouMo was the perfect solution. And so we bought the first YouMo at the end of 2016 – and a short time later, at the beginning of 2017, we also bought one for my wife, who had previously traveled more with my eCruiser than I had. I really like both the design and the upright body position. Thanks to its functionality, the wide and comfortable saddle is easy to adjust, either to my size or that of my wife, who is a head shorter. I can ride the YouMo comfortably and relaxed without my backside hurting after a while. The great support of the eCruiser allows me to reach my workplace, 34 kilometers away, in just over an hour, and I’m not out of breath when I arrive. We now also pack our children into the trailer more often and go on longer trips with the YouMo – we wouldn’t do this without support. With the YouMo Support, we can easily drive 30 km/h even with a trailer. I am completely satisfied and use my YouMo in my free time, on the way to work, for shopping or for small errands. I associate the YouMo with relaxation, riding fun, cool design and the Rat Rod look.

At the beginning of 2015, I came across the YouMo by chance at a retailer and immediately fell in love with it. The design alone sets the YouMo apart from other bikes and eBikes and is very comfortable to ride. But I am totally fascinated by the support and the torque. I don’t care about any incline and it just feels good to cruise with the YouMo. I’m looking forward to the time when it gets warmer again. Then I can get back on the Youmo in the morning and the streets are at my feet. I use my YouMo eCruiser in many different ways. Whether I’m going to work or shopping, for trips and small errands or for sailing, my YouMo takes me there. But of course I also just leave the day behind me and cruise around. When we are traveling with the motorhome, the YouMo comes with us. Then I can really enjoy my vacation and sometimes cycle around the Chiemsee or Waginersee. I also find it interesting that people wave at me on the street, give me the thumbs up and say: “cool bike”. I am even more fascinated by Harley riders who are interested in my bike. And on a regular basis.
WTL bicycle home delivery service
We are a Swiss organization for the integration of job-seekers and operate, among other things, a bicycle home delivery service, which is equipped and operated with three YouMos. If you don’t want to transport your shopping home yourself, you can leave it at various collection points in Rapperswil/Jona and have it delivered by the bike couriers – after three hours at the latest, everything will be brought to the desired address by e-cruiser with trailer. We decided to work with YouMo back in 2015 and have valued them as a trustworthy and reliable partner ever since. The e-cruisers are not only comfortable, but can also be operated and ridden easily and intuitively by anyone. In addition, we are often asked about the casual bikes and see this as good image advertising for our home delivery service.
Ursula Küng
The couple Ursula and Karl Küng have been offering donkey trekking and donkey riding in Benken for over 30 years. Ursula Küng is delighted with how comfortably and quickly she can get to her animals with the YouMo: “It’s quick and easy to get around, and the ride uphill is a breeze. I also use it for everyday errands or a long bike ride.”
Marina Egger
“I’ve now been riding this e-bike for two weeks. My bottom line: It was extremely fun. As often as I could, I was on the road with the speedster. Whether it’s to work, to go horseback riding, to a piano lesson, to the doctor, to a friend’s coffee, to the grocery store. Wherever and whatever the weather, I was out in the fresh air and on my bike. I think it’s a great thing and optimal for the flat area here in the Linth region. The cycle paths are well developed and you can get around quickly. It took me the same amount of time to get to work by YouMo as it did by car. I can really only recommend it. It’s a shame that I now have to hand it in again.”
Heidi Scherrer
“The energy-saving and energy-efficient means of transportation really convinces me. I use the e-bike three times a week to get to my place of work 12 kilometers away. I enjoy driving to work by muscle power and thus not being dependent on public transport and fixed departure times. Regular training in the fresh air is also a great effect.”
Raphael Jud, Kaltbrunn
“I’m about the same speed on the YouMo as I would be if I had taken the car or public transport. Fortunately, the cycle network in the Lake Zurich-Linth region is well developed and e-biking is correspondingly pleasant. Ending the working day with a breath of fresh air and light exercise is much more pleasant than sitting in a crowded train compartment or having to concentrate on the traffic at the wheel of a car.”
Marcel Christen, Schänis
“Our test bike is used by the whole family and is in daily use. Whether to the train station, for small purchases in the area or for visits to friends: The e-bike is a reliable companion. Our car was used much less during the test phase.”
Andrea Lottenbach, Uznach
“I use the e-bike regularly for my commute from Uznach to Schmerikon. I also enjoy cycling at the weekends or on vacation. Before the first test ride, I always smiled a little at e-bike riders. I now appreciate not arriving at work in a sweat or riding up a hill in a relaxed manner.”
Asbach family, Ahrtal
“We’ve been rediscovering our home, the Ahr valley, since we got the YouMo’s. You can easily ride up the mountains. You look much more to the right and left, ride much more relaxed than on a mountain bike and sometimes ride a few more kilometers than you actually planned because it’s simply easier to ride.”
