Mobile Bike Repair Jobs near you

Bicycle repair is a surprisingly solid way to earn on Airtasker—especially in Australia’s bike-friendly cities like Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane, where cycling is booming thanks to better infrastructure and a growing shift toward greener transport. Whether you're a seasoned mechanic or just good with tools and a bit of grease, there’s real money to be made. From flat tyre fixes and brake tuning to full-on overhauls, Airtasker connects you with riders who need help fast. Many cyclists would rather pay a local Tasker than haul their bike to a shop, and that’s where you come in.

Basic repairs – Fast fixes, steady jobs

Patching up a puncture, realigning gears, adjusting brakes, are the bread and butter of bicycle repair jobs on Airtasker. They’re usually quick, under an hour, and perfect if you want to squeeze in a few smaller tasks across the day. You’ll see plenty of posts from casual riders or delivery cyclists (especially in urban centres) who just need to get rolling again. With rates typically ranging from $40 to $100 depending on the task, these simple jobs can stack up fast, especially when you offer mobile repairs at the customer’s home or office.

Tune-ups and servicing – Higher value, better margins

Regular servicing is where things start to scale. Many bike owners, especially those with mid to high-end brands like Giant, Trek, Merida, or Specialized, prefer to keep their gear in top condition with periodic maintenance. A typical tune-up might include cleaning and lubricating the chain, checking and adjusting derailleurs, truing wheels, tightening bolts, and checking tyre pressure. These jobs often fetch $120–$200, and riders will often book you again every few months if you leave their bike running smooth. The key here is consistency and solid communication, remind them when their next service is due, and you’ve just created a client for life.

Full rebuilds and upgrades – Big money from serious cyclists

Hardcore cyclists love to tinker, but not everyone has the tools or time to swap out drivetrains, upgrade to Di2 electronic shifting, or rebuild a bottom bracket. If you’ve got mechanical know-how, the confidence to work with pricier components, and the tools to match, you can offer premium upgrade and custom build services. These high-skill tasks can pay anywhere from $200 to $600+, depending on the job complexity and parts involved. You’ll often find work with NDIS clients who need adaptive modifications or road cyclists chasing performance gains. Showcasing previous projects or builds in your profile can give you an edge when bidding on these tasks.

Bike assembly – Quick wins from new purchases

With people snapping up bikes online from places like 99 Bikes, Reid Cycles, and even Kmart, there’s consistent demand for someone who can put them together properly. Assembly tasks usually involve setting up handlebars, tightening pedals, aligning brakes, and giving everything a once-over. It’s straightforward work that typically pays $50–$120 per job. These gigs spike during sales periods, school holidays, and Christmas when bikes are a popular gift—so timing your availability helps boost earnings.

Mobile bike repairs – Convenience equals cash

Offering mobile repairs is a smart way to stand out. Many riders don’t want the hassle of transporting a busted bike, and they’re willing to pay extra for someone who comes to them. Whether it’s servicing fleets of delivery bikes in the Sydney CBD or helping commuters in Melbourne’s inner suburbs, being mobile makes you more flexible, and charge a call-out fee on top of your service rate. A well-stocked repair kit, a reliable vehicle (or even a cargo bike), and punctual service can turn one-offs into regular gigs, especially for small businesses or cycling groups.

Bicycle Repair – Tips to Increase Your Income

To grow your income as a bicycle repair Tasker, focus on speed, reliability, and upselling without being pushy. Always show up with the right tools, communicate clearly, and be honest about what needs fixing versus what’s optional. Offering a basic service package with optional add-ons (like brake pad replacements or wheel truing) can help you boost your average per job. Build rapport with regular riders by giving maintenance tips and offering small discounts on follow-ups. And don’t underestimate the power of good reviews—most cyclists just want someone they can trust with their ride. Lastly, stay across local rules and cycling trends, like e-bike servicing regulations or upcoming council initiatives, so you can offer timely advice and stay ahead of the curve.
