Cycle network Culture Vélo, which is expanding in partnership, is now offering a rental with purchase option.
Culture Vélo has teamed up with Evollis, a leader in the capital goods rental market, to offer a new rental service with purchase option (over 2 or 3 years) under the Aveloa brand (Acquisition d'un Vélo En Location avec Option et Abonnements).
We want to put our customers in a position where they can easily renew their equipment," explains Romain Fauvel, head of the chain. To have access to state-of-the-art bikes. And not to worry about resale after 3 years of use. In this world of leisure, mobility and sport, pleasure and performance are intimately linked to the quality of the equipment. And equipment evolves very quickly. Customers who choose Aveloa will benefit from the very best in technology".
By spreading out the payment, a customer could, for example, have access to a bicycle at a price of 349 euros for as little as 15 euros a month for 2 years. The proposal is designed to meet new consumer expectations, which favor use over ownership. It will also appeal to customers attracted by electric bikes, a rapidly expanding range.
The offer includes damage insurance, servicing and assistance for the duration of the contract. For full coverage, theft insurance can be added as an option. And, at the end of the contract, the user is free to choose whether to buy the bike back or return it free of charge.
In the wake, Culture Vélo has announced that it will soon be marketing a range of products for professionals. Created in January 2000, the network is now a benchmark brand in the cycle market , with 80 partner stores throughout France.
