Our take
While the bike hire market provides adults around the world with a wide variety of options, children have been almost exclusively left out of the equation. The Bike Club is disrupting the bike subscription space by offering a range of children’s bikes and scooters in addition to adult bikes, to make long-term bike hire a family affair.
The monthly subscription fee is already more affordable than other bike subscriptions in the space, and also has a variety of options, from the choice of used/new equipment to bike size and type. One major benefit for parents is no longer having to purchase a new bike or scooter as children outgrow them.
A key result of the B Corp Certified company’s circular economy is that fewer bikes need to be produced each year, meaning each of its bikes saves 336kg of CO2 compared to an owned bike. With over 55,000 active members across the UK and Germany as well as substantial funding, the Bike Club is well set to see continued growth and is looking toward expansion into France.
