Skills that raise your pay

• Electric bike diagnosis

  Motors, batteries and dealer software. The fastest growing part of the bench and the hardest role to fill.

• Suspension service

  Rebuilding forks and shocks is specialist work that most shops currently send away.

• Wheel building

  Building and tensioning a wheel by hand is the classic mark of a serious mechanic.

• Bike fitting

  A paid service in its own right, and it brings customers back every time they change bikes.
