Get your bike fixed at home Velo Presto is the UAE’s first mobile repair shop

- velopresto.cc

A new bike repair shop and rental service has launched in the UAE with a very unique USP – it has four wheels and will come to your our home or office.

Velo Presto is the country’s first mobile repair service that can fix your pride and joy at any location of your choice and is the brainchild of Sam Whittam (formerly of Adventure HQ here in the UAE). For Dhs200, you get a basic service that includes a frame clean, plus brake and gear tunings in the price. Dhs350 gets you all of that, plus a frame polish and a complete disassembl­y and clean of your bike’s drivetrain. Dhs500 gets you all of that plus full wheel truing and headset and bottom bracket cleaning and re-greasing, and cable replacemen­ts. Finally, their Dhs750 ‘Full Monty’ package includes part replacemen­t and a complete service for the bike, which is totally stripped down and repaired and cleaned.

They also rent out carbon Silverback road bikes for Dhs200 a day. The service is available in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
