Introducing the Digital Service Pass: A "Carfax" for Your Bike
Buying a used bike is scary. "Recently serviced," "mechanic owned," "only ridden on Sundays"—we've heard it all. As a seller, it's frustrating to have your meticulous maintenance dismissed by skeptical buyers. As a buyer, you're always wondering what hidden nightmares lurk inside that suspension fork.
Stop Guessing. Start Verifying.
We are thrilled to introduce the Digital Service Pass—a dedicated, verified public page for your bike that proves its history.
Think of it as a "Carfax" for your bicycle. With a single link, you can showcase:
- Verified Service History: A timeline of every maintenance task logged, differentiating between quick lube jobs and full rebuilds.
- Real Usage Stats: Integration with Strava means you can show the actual distance and hours on the frame and components.
- Current Component Spec: Automatically list your active suspension setup, including make, model, year, and—crucially—the hours since the last service.
- Owner Notes: A dedicated section for you to describe upgrades, specific tunes, or care details.
Why It Matters
For Sellers
Boost Resale Value: Documentation pays. A bike with a proven service history commands a higher price and sells faster. The Digital Service Pass gives buyers confidence that they aren't inheriting a money pit.
Stand Out: In a sea of generic listings, a link to a professional-looking service pass shows you care about your gear.
For Privateers & Pros
Sponsorship Proof: Show your sponsors you take care of their equipment. A clean log of maintenance is professional and reassuring.
