> cycleWASH® manufactures the world's most patented automated bicycle washing systems. Founded 2016 in Cologne, Germany. 350+ machines in 24 countries, 1,000,000+ bikes washed.

## Products
- **cycleWASH® mini STATION** — Manual, self-service open-air wash station for permanent outdoor sites. Stainless steel. Needs no mains power where compressed air is available. From €13,990.
- **cycleWASH® Mini** — The most compact semi-automatic bicycle washing system in the world, in two editions: Mini Basic (€24,990) and Mini Platinum (€27,990). Semi-automatic cleaning in a single pass.
- **cycleWASH® Pro** — Fully automatic professional wash system for high-traffic sites. Up to five cleaning cycles combined per wash. From €38,000 (Pro Platinum €42,000).
- **cycleWASH® OASIS** — Full-service cycling hub: wash, dry, care products, e-bike charging, shelter and smart payment infrastructure.
- **LuftWASH** — A 2-in-1 precision cleaning lance, €1,450. One trigger, two functions: a full pull runs cavitation cleaning, a half pull switches to compressed-air drying. 100% e-bike safe. Compatible with every machine in the range.

## Technology
- Patented brush technology — 33 granted patents
- Cavitation cleaning: high-velocity water forms microscopic bubbles that implode on the surface, gentler than high-pressure jets on bearings, seals, hubs, chains and decals
- Separated brush zones keep chain oil and grease off disc rotors and pads
- SPIRIT IoT platform — remote monitoring, contactless payment, analytics
- Water use per wash: about 3 litres in ECO mode and about 12 litres in STANDARD mode, on every model
- Closed water circuit with an integrated oil separator in ECO mode
- No harmful chemicals; the care products are fully biodegradable
- Minimal maintenance: no daily servicing, brushes and pumps are built to run for years
- CE certified, DEKRA approved, made in Germany

## Site requirements
- The mini STATION needs no electrical supply wherever compressed air at 6–8 bar and at least 160 l/min is available — that air drives the LuftWASH gun
- Where compressed air is not available, a high-performance compressor is offered as an option; it requires mains power
- The 230 V/16 A and 0–3 kVA figures in the specifications apply only to those optional add-ons
- A payment system is available as an option

## Ways to buy
- **Purchase** — outright ownership from day one, no ongoing finance fees
- **Franchise Partner Program (RaaS — Robot as a Service)** — entry-level price for basic equipment: Mini Basic from €13,790, Pro Basic from €24,990. For the following three years cycleWASH takes €3 per wash as a revenue share. Standard 3-year term with onboarding, marketing support and preferred pricing. Terms on request.
- **Try & Buy** — Mini Platinum only: pay €5,000 and run the machine for one month; if you keep it, the remaining €22,990 falls due later. Shipping charges apply. Europe only.
- **Reseller** — protected territory, reseller pricing and technical training. Starts with two machines.
- **Vendor financing** — 20% down payment, available against a bank guarantee, maximum term 24 months. The machine must be insured for the whole period and remains the property of cycleWASH until the final instalment is paid. Two dunning notices carry a fee, and an unpaid second instalment makes the whole balance due. The contract and title cannot be transferred or sold without written permission.
