Founded in November 2020, the start-up Famility Company is introducing a subscription for bicycles. Famility is an artificial word formed from the two words Family and Mobility. Michel Juhasz, who is already anchored in the Swiss bicycle industry as co-owner of Abenteuerreisen.ch GmbH and Trail Supply AG, is the Managing Director of Famility.

In a first step, the right bike for children and a cargo bike for the family can be subscribed to at any time. At a later stage, the range will be expanded to include bikes for adults and businesses. The principle is simple: families subscribe to a bike with just a few clicks. The bike is delivered within 24 hours and can be returned after a contract period of at least six months. In the event of a defect, the bike is collected from the customer, repaired within 48 hours or replaced with another bike. If the child has outgrown the bike, customers can switch to a larger model at any time. Every bike is insured against theft. Famility therefore offers customers maximum flexibility and full cost control.Families have the opportunity to benefit from sustainable mobility solutions with a Famility bike subscription. "We offer our customers guidance with our clear range of products. It is also very important to us to offer the best quality and, above all, the safest children's bikes," says founder Michel Juhasz, himself a father of two school-age children. And the sharing economy is in vogue: "We are convinced that our offer is in tune with the times - and not just because of the coronavirus pandemic," says co-founder Michèle Kottelat. "More and more people are renting and leasing products and services via online platforms. Sharing instead of owning is a smart step towards a circular economy."

Subscriptions from 12 francs per month

The Famility subscription costs from 12 francs per month. Subscription bikes can now be ordered online. The bikes will be delivered throughout Switzerland from Easter 2021. The children's bikes include a balance bike from Kokua and Belter 1, 2 or 3 from Early Rider. To transport shopping and two children from A to B, Famility offers the e-cargo bike from Douze.
