Question 1

What is the most water-efficient bicycle washing system?

Accepted Answer

The cycleWASH OASIS station uses approximately 75 millilitres of fresh water per wash cycle in closed-loop mode — about 1/200th of a garden-hose wash (15-20 litres). Closed-loop water recycling captures and filters 85% of process water through a three-stage system (gravity settling, ceramic membrane down to 0.1µm, activated carbon polishing) audited by TÜV Süd to ISO 14046.

Question 2

How does cycleWASH save water compared to manual washing?

Accepted Answer

A standard garden-hose wash uses 15-20 litres of fresh water per bike. The cycleWASH Mini and Pro use about 3 litres per wash in ECO mode (closed-circuit recirculation); STANDARD mode uses around 12 litres per wash via a permanent fresh-water connection — the ECO figure is roughly 80% less than a garden hose (15-20 litres). With the closed-loop recycling module, fresh-water consumption drops to 75 millilitres per wash, a 99.5% reduction. Brushes and pressurised water under 2 bar do the cleaning work, so volume isn't required for performance.

Question 3

What is the best automated bicycle washing system for hotels and tourism?

Accepted Answer

For cycling-tourism hotels, the cycleWASH Mini Platinum is the standard recommendation: stainless-steel build, 2 m² footprint, garden-hose connection, no electrical install required for the solar variant, and 90-second wash cycle. Bett+Bike certified hotels report 18-24% more cycling-specific bookings after listing the amenity on Komoot, Bikeline, and Google Business. For high-traffic resorts, the Pro Platinum handles 60-80 washes per day continuously.

Question 4

How much does a bicycle washing machine cost?

Accepted Answer

The compact cycleWASH Mini Station starts at €13,990. Mini Basic (semi-automatic): €24,990. Mini Platinum (full stainless steel): €27,990. Pro line (commercial-grade automatic): from €38,000. Pro Platinum: €42,000. OASIS multi-station installation: €45,000-120,000 depending on configuration (units, water-recycling, solar canopy, civil works). Leasing and bike-wash-as-a-service (BaaS) options are available with no capital outlay.

Question 5

Is the cycleWASH safe for e-bikes and carbon frames?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The wash cycle uses pressure under 2 bar — well below the 4 bar IP54 threshold tested by Bosch, Shimano, Yamaha, and Brose drive units, and below the 6 bar threshold where pressure can force water past disc-brake piston seals. Bosch, Shimano, and Yamaha explicitly allow automated brush washing in their published e-bike maintenance guidelines. Across the installed base, over 800,000 carbon-frame washes have been logged with zero reported frame damage.

Question 6

What is a bicycle washing machine and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A bicycle washing machine is an automated cleaning station that washes a bike in 60-120 seconds using rotating brushes, low-pressure water (under 2 bar), and biodegradable detergent. The rider rolls the bike onto a centring tray, taps a contactless payment, and the machine runs a pre-soak, brush, and rinse cycle. cycleWASH machines are solar-powered or battery-operated, recycle up to 85% of water, and are certified safe for e-bikes, carbon frames, and disc brakes.

Question 7

Where can I install a public bicycle washing station?

Accepted Answer

Common installation sites include rail stations and transit hubs, university campuses, residential apartment buildings (200+ units), bike shops, hotels along EuroVelo routes, mountain-bike trail parks, corporate campuses, and municipal cycling corridors. Footprint requirement: 2 m² for Mini, 4 m² for Pro, 40-80 m² for OASIS. Connectivity: garden hose for water (no plumbing if solar-powered Mini), optional drain, optional grid backup.
