You will work from our shop and introduce riders to the wonders of a  Zygg ebike – whether they are coming in for a test ride or to pick up their bike, you’ll show them how to use, charge and lock their ebikes properly, answering their queries along the way.  You may occasionally even ride an ebike to deliver it to a rider who lives close by. You’ll help intake bikes for servicing and learn to troubleshoot basic bike-related issues. You’ll use your proven organizational skills to help coordinate logistics and scheduling for delivery of bikes and onboarding of new riders, as well as for the swapping and servicing of current subscribers’ bikes.
