What we can do for you
E-Bike Diagnose & Reparatur
Every repair starts with a thorough diagnosis: mechanical, electronic, and software-related. Only once we know what the problem is will we let you know the scope of the work and the cost. We won’t proceed without your approval.
Our services include: mechanical repairs (drivetrain, brakes, suspension), electronic troubleshooting, software and system diagnostics, as well as functional and safety testing.
E-bike motor repair
Problem with the motor? We’ll check its functionality, any faults, and whether it can be repaired, and give you a clear estimate of the costs upfront. Whether a repair makes sense depends on the system and the extent of the damage. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what’s worth doing.
E-bike maintenance and care
Regular maintenance protects your e-bike from major damage. We inspect the brakes, gears, wear parts, battery, motor, and electronics, and perform a software check if necessary. Recommended once a year for all brands and systems.
How to find us
Drop-off without parking stress
You can find us at Stampfstrasse 74. You don’t need to look for a parking space; just drive right up to the gate of our workshop and unload your e-bike at your convenience.
Important to know
Please make an appointment in advance and bring the key and any necessary accessories with you.
Or we can come to you
If you don’t have any time at all, just book our pickup service. We’ll pick up your bike and bring it back to you once it’s been repaired.
Important to know
When your e-bike is picked up, please place all necessary keys and relevant accessories with the e-bike or attach them securely to it.

Repair Costs on an Hourly Basis
The cost of e-bike service and repair depends on the scope of the work, the drive system, and the technical condition of the e-bike.
Labor Rates & Pricing Basis
For many services related to bicycles, pedelecs, and e-bikes, we use the labor rate list published by the Swiss Bicycle Industry Association (ZIV) as a guide.
This list serves as a technical reference for time requirements and work steps.
There is currently no centralized labor rate list for e-bike services in Switzerland. To ensure transparent and understandable pricing nonetheless, we use this list as a guide and adapt it to our workshop practices.
Work that is not covered by a flat rate or requires an individual diagnosis is billed based on time spent.
Hourly Rate
The hourly rate at YouMo is: CHF 120 per hour.
Billing is based on actual time spent.
Before starting the work, we will inform you of the estimated scope and costs.

Do you need a replacement e-bike?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About E-Bike Service
Do you also repair older e-bikes?
Many older e-bikes can be repaired and continue to be used, provided that the condition of the system and the availability of spare parts allow this. We check this individually as part of the diagnosis.
How long does the e-bike service take?
If the necessary replacement parts are available, the service usually takes 1 to 7 business days. If parts need to be ordered, it may take longer.
What happens if an e-bike cannot be repaired?
If a repair is not technically or economically feasible, we will inform you as part of the diagnosis and discuss how to proceed.
Do I need to make an appointment for the service?
Yes. For personal delivery to our workshop, we ask that you make an appointment in advance so that we can schedule the acceptance and diagnosis.
