You will need to add at least 3 weeks to the delivery time as the registration is done manually – pls provide a copy of your driving licence upon delivery.

How is the maintenance carried out?

When you go to the shop for your maintenance, you just have to give your first and last name to the shop.

They will be able to identify you on our platform and encode the repair.

The cost of the service will be deducted directly from your available maintenance balance.

You can check your balance at any time by clicking on the "check my balance" tab.

WARNING : Your balance is not cumulative

What is the ordering procedure?

1 - Once you have chosen a bike, the Ushop makes an offer via Planet & You and sends it to Ubike.
2 - Ubike receives the offer and analyses whether the price/information is in line with the reality/market/prescriptions of your bike policy.
3 - Ubike sends you an automatic email requesting validation to the email address provided in the Ushop (remember to check your junk mail if you have not received it). Once you have validated it, a mention on the screen confirms the validation date of your offer.
4 - Upon receipt of your validation, Ubike sends a validation request to the HR/entity that manages the mobility component within your company.
5 - Once the validation from your HR is received, Ubike places the order at the Ushop of your choice. The shop will confirm the order and the delivery date (time between the validation of the offer and the order from the shop +/- 1 week).
6 - The shop will inform you of the arrival of the bike and agree on a delivery date.
7 - Upon delivery, you sign and date a delivery note and provide a copy of your driving license in case of speedpedelec.

8 - After delivery you will receive an automatic email inviting you to activate your maintenance voucher (if included in the contract).

9 - In case of speedpedelec, the green card will be sent to you by the insurance company.

Can I get discounts in the shop when I make my offer? NO, except during sales periods or in case of  a particular discount granted on a specific model and clearly displayed in the shop

Advice on repairs, anti-theft devices etc.

Can I repair my bike myself? Repairs can only be carried out by an authorised bikeshop, we do not have a certification system in place, if you wish to carry out repairs it is your own responsibility.

What happens if I want to speed things up and I ask for my bike to be repaired and I pay for it myself? The repair can only be done after the insurance has been investigated&verdict, if you decide to authorise the repair and pay for it yourself, it is your responsibility because at this stage there is no guarantee that the claim will be covered

I have lost my lock, what should I do? Buy the same lock at your own expense so that you are still directly covered by the insurance in case of theft/attempted theft - the insurance will compensate later

I have lost the keys to the lock? a card is often supplied with the lock allowing you to make a duplicate 

Please note: if insurance is included in your contract, bike racks are NOT covered by insurance.
