About us
OC Mobile Bike Mechanic is a mobile bicycle and e-bike repair service covering south Orange County. We go to the customer — driveways, garages, office parks, farmers markets — instead of making them haul a bike to a shop. We're small, the schedule stays full, and the work is hands-on from the first minute. ocmobilebikemechanic.com
What you'll do
- Perform tune-ups, brake and drivetrain service, wheel truing, and flat repairs at customer locations
- Diagnose and service e-bike systems: hydraulic brakes, motor and controller issues, battery and display diagnostics
- Handle 2–4 scheduled jobs per shift within a set geographic route
- Make the call on what a bike actually needs and communicate it clearly to the customer
- Log parts used and job notes at the end of each stop
What you need
- 2–3+ years of professional bike mechanic experience (shop, mobile, or equivalent)
- Valid California driver's license and a reliable vehicle you can transport tools and parts in
- Able to work independently and solve problems on the spot — no service manager to escalate to
- Able to lift 50 lbs and work outdoors in varying weather
- Professional and friendly with customers; this is a customer-facing job as much as a wrenching one
Nice to have
- E-bike specific experience (Velotric, Aventon, Rad Power, Murf, or similar)
- Prior mobile or on-site service experience
- Suspension service or wheel building
- Comfort diagnosing motor, controller, and battery faults beyond swap-and-replace
What we offer
- $25–$30/hour, well above bike shop mechanic rates in Orange County
- Complete set of tools
- Mileage reimbursed at the current IRS rate
- California paid sick leave
- Bonuses for positive customer reviews
- Consistent schedule with real lead volume — no waiting around for work
