ADAC/Rydies: E-Bike Subscription Now with S-Pedelecs
The bike subscription introduced by the automobile club ADAC SE together with the Munich mobility start-up Rydies will be further expanded and extended to include the category of S-Pedelecs. Under the motto "We electrify Germany," the club now delivers all e-bikes and e-scooters from the e-Ride shop nationwide and free of charge. The enthusiasm that bicycles, e-bikes, and scooters are experiencing in times of distance-conscious individual mobility remains unbroken, and the sales figures of the German two-wheeled trade have been pointing to another record year for electrically motorized bicycles and scooters since mid-2020, explaining the club's expansion. Already from January to July 2020, 1.1 million e-bikes have been sold in Germany.
"Following the successful entry, the product and service range will be expanded with new vehicle categories, immediate purchase options, and nationwide shipping," explained Martin Kratzer, Head of Marketing and Strategy at ADAC SE.
In addition to subscription offers for e-bikes with motor assistance up to 25 km/h and e-scooters, they are now introducing the S-Pedelecs from the manufacturer Klever-Mobility with support up to 45 km/h. These are suitable for somewhat longer distances for commuters, in the city outskirts, and in rural areas, as the provider advertises. Furthermore, the manufacturer Yadea with the new E-Scooter G5 is included in the program, as well as the Corratec Life S, an everyday e-bike for the city that has been awarded the German Design Award. The Urban Style E-Bikes Evoluzione come from the Italian luxury manufacturer, Pininfarina.
"ADAC e-Ride enables a flexible entry into electromobility in the e-two-wheeler sector with affordable subscriptions. The expansion of the range is oriented towards the different requirements of Generation E," explains Ludger Kersting, Managing Director of ADAC Service GmbH.
Some members might be considering an e-two-wheeler but are deterred by the high purchase price, Kersting continues. Together with the partner Rydies GmbH, e-Ride offers corresponding preferential offers. Subscriptions for e-bikes and e-scooters for a period starting from three months and from 59 euros per month include services such as insurance, repairs, and a high-quality security lock. Additionally, there is a purchase option that can be exercised at any time or a follow-up subscription to switch to another e-two-wheeler model.
For ADAC members, a discount of 10 euros on the monthly rental price is granted until the end of 2020, and the start fee is waived. Currently, for the launch, the Corratec Life S e-bike, Klever's S-Pedelecs, and the Yadea e-scooter are available at special purchase prices with discounts of up to 1,200 euros for club members. In 20 cities across Germany, the bikes are delivered by over 30 stationary service partners after a personal introduction.
