2nd April, Brighton: Bikebook, the workshop management tool and consumer-facing bicycle workshop directory, has partnered with Skarper, the click-on eBike drive system creator, becoming the brand’s official Service Provider. 

In practice, the new collaboration allows Skarper to develop a selection of preferred partners from bikebook’s comprehensive, growing network of independent, highly trained mechanics around the UK, to provide on-the-ground support for fitting, servicing, warranty claims, and other post-purchase needs.

Bikebook co-founder Jake Fieldsend commented: “Our platform and network offers brands like Skarper a great way to add reassurance to their customers through having preferred service partners in key locations around the country - and in the future internationally, too. We’re excited to welcome the team onto the platform and to further facilitate their growth in the UK for what’s a really innovative product and way of further democratising safe and sophisticated next gen eBikes.”

Ean Brown, CEO of Skarper, added: “Skarper is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, but we want to ensure customers have easy access to support when needed. Thanks to our partnership with bikebook, we can give current and potential customers a seamless way to find expert assistance with their Skarper.”

Bikebook currently has a network of over 400 workshops on its platform across the country, with a growing number internationally too. This new partnership with Skarper follows a number of recent D2C brand collaborations designed to support the end consumer post-purchase.
