This means that good advice is never far away and customers can look forward to high-quality service in their vicinity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We met up for a chat with Jerome, one of the Ampler bike mechanics from the Ampler showroom in Cologne. He has been working for Ampler Bikes since June 2020. Not least because of the pandemic and the change of urban mobility to sustainable concepts, he switched to the e-bike sector. It also allowed him to combine his affinity for electromobility and the world of bicycles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A typical day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no such thing as a \u00bbtypical\u00ab day, says Jerome. The days as a mechanic at Ampler vary in a nice way. The general tasks revolve around servicing customer bikes, such as inspections and handling warranty claims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an additional service, the team offers a specially developed bike wash. The bikes are cleaned to a high shine before being repaired, which both simplifies the work and leads to particular joy among the customers when they take delivery. This can also be seen in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?ei=atVRYPCdDIvrsAfK15TYBg&amp;q=ampler+k%C3%B6ln&amp;oq=ampler+k%C3%B6ln+&amp;gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYADIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB46BQgAEJECOgoILhDHARCjAhBDOgIIADoICC4QxwEQowI6AgguOgQILhBDOgQIABBDOggILhDHARCvAToLCC4QxwEQrwEQkwI6BAgAEApQifI9WOqKPmCklz5oAHACeACAAW2IAcMIkgEEMTIuMZgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXrAAQE&amp;sclient=gws-wiz#lrd=0x47bf25ccdea3203d:0x82badf44e3b7df24,1,,,\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google reviews<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, there are regular Zoom meetings and daily exchanges with colleagues via Slack. Ampler Bikes is a sustainable and modern company that relies on modern communication at all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20221118142315\/Ampler_Showroom_2020_CG_062.jpg\" alt=\"Washing an Ampler e-bike\" class=\"wp-image-88865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20221118142315\/Ampler_Showroom_2020_CG_062.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20221118142315\/Ampler_Showroom_2020_CG_062-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20221118142315\/Ampler_Showroom_2020_CG_062-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On the way to work with Ampler&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aspect that makes work enjoyable is commuting to work every day on a bike. Jerome says the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amplerbikes.com\/locale\/e-bikes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ampler bikes<\/a>&nbsp;combine the positive features of a bicycle with the advantages of an e-bike. Mountainous routes are much more pleasant to master.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why he leaves his car behind more and more often. Without traffic jams, the time spent commuting to work can be better planned and, in addition, one gets exercise in the fresh air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quality at the forefront&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What should you look for when you start as a mechanic at Ampler Bikes? Jerome advises that you should have a strong connection to quality over quantity right from the start. Since Ampler Bikes manufactures e-bikes themselves and the Ampler mechanics specifically take care of the customers\u2019 bikes, there is enough focus to be fully dedicated to the customers\u2019 satisfaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you should be able to keep a clear head in stressful situations and display an active \u201cscrew it \u2013 let\u2019s do it\u201d attitude, says Jerome.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is good if you want to achieve something together with the team. That\u2019s where the aspect of pleasant cooperation and the passion for the cause itself come together. The more you put yourself out there, the more you can shape things yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20221118142407\/Ampler_Showroom_2020_CG_092.jpg\" alt=\"Repairing an e-bike from Ampler Bikes in the Showroom\" class=\"wp-image-88885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20221118142407\/Ampler_Showroom_2020_CG_092.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20221118142407\/Ampler_Showroom_2020_CG_092-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.ampler.bike\/a\/20221118142407\/Ampler_Showroom_2020_CG_092-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Passion and vision&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel addressed, have a passion for two-wheelers and want to become part of a great team, we would be happy to hear from you.
