Every ride is a risk without Rugged Cycles
Save big with safety
Between 2003-2008, there were an average of 362 lost-time bicycle accidents each year—almost one a day for a six year period.* The average lost-time injury costs $43,000.** The most common cause of industrial bike accidents is chain failure.***
Don't lose more time and money, lose the chain. Rugged Cycles drive shaft eliminates the chance of chain-related injuries, and it is only one of the many safety features on a Rugged Cycle.
"We felt 65% of our fleet of old (chain) bikes were potential incidents waiting to happen." - Manager at a Gulf Coast Plant (GCP), where after 5 years without injury, there were recently three chain-related injuries.
"The value of (avoiding) the incidents would have easily paid for the first installment of bikes." -GCP Manager, after calculating the savings of a Rugged Cycle fleet.
Even if you're employees are lucky enough to have never experienced a chain-related injury, traditional bikes can still be painful to your bottom line.
Reduce Maintenance Costs by up to 90%
Rugged Cycles need only about 5 minutes of preventative maintenance every quarter. Based on more than two years of data, it costs less than $15.00 per year to maintain a Rugged Cycle.
Compare that to a recent customer survey, where respondents reportedly spent an average of $115 on parts and maintenance for each of their chain-driven, pneumatic-tire bikes. Separate from our customer survey, clients have reported to us they spend as much as $250 per chain-driven, pneumatic-tire bike.
