Hi,
I’m looking for details on mobile bicycle repair trucks. The kind that look like food trucks, but for bicycles. Where can I find specs/cost breakdowns for one?
Thanks! Chavi

Why not forego the fossil fuel option altogether? Try www.workcycles.com.

Hi Chavi,
Beeline Bikes in the SF Bay area is doing this successfully on a commercial fleet scale. Bikesmith in Memphis is also doing it for profit with just one truck. You could check with them to see what it costs them to get a van purchased and equipped. Then figure out how to cut costs (old used van, etc) as necessary to meet your budget.
Cheers, Daniel

Looks like someone has a couple of ideas, bike pulling bike repair shop, or Grumman van (Chev P30) type mobile repair truck.
Not a lot of ideas to offer on Mobile bike pulled shop.
I would advise against Grumman van or Chev P30 type trucks, for lots of reasons....as an alternative I'd suggest a few options:
Used Sprinter Van or Used Matco, Mac or other tool truck. They offer far more serviceability, safety and durability than the "Utility" trucks do. Plus cab and work area have greater separation.
You can find one or all of them used through any of the rental companies and otherwise.

Chavi,
Ben at Bike Works Seattle has a ton of hard-won expertise in outfitting a Ford bread truck as a mobile bike shop. They had designs at one point of retrofitting it to run on bio-diesel, but I don't think they've quite gotten there yet.

Chavi asked about bike trucks, y'all, not bike-towed repair carts -- those are great for a lot of cases, but maybe not for the BYKE Collective's! We probably don't know as much about their needs or circumstances as they do.
