Roetz-Bikes Reviews | Rating 4.7 out of 5 stars (6 reviews)

Roetz-Bikes is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands on Schaafstraat 17. Roetz-Bikes is rated 4.7 out of 5 in the category bicycle store in Netherlands. Roetz is een sociale onderneming, die zich als doel heeft gesteld om bij te dragen aan een inclusieve en circulaire samenleving. Roetz maakt fietsen op basis van hergebruikte onderdelen van weesfietsen en creëert daarmee werk en een opleidingstraject binnen een industrie die zit te springen om mensen. In augustus 2016 heeft Roetz een sociale fietsfabriek geopend aan het Gedempt Hamerkanaal in Amsterdam Noord. Roetz heeft zowel een groene als een sociale missie. Fietsen krijgen een tweede leven, mensen een tweede kans. We zijn ervan overtuigd dat mensen met kwetsbaarheden even goed mee kunnen draaien op de reguliere arbeidsmarkt. Om deze overtuiging kracht bij te zetten hebben we ons middels een prestatielening gecommitteerd aan een concrete doelstelling; in 2021 hebben 10 makers een arbeidsovereenkomst van 24u per week voor de duur van ten minste 1 jaar. Voor het aanmelden van kandidaten kan je contact opnemen met onze participatieregisseur via [email protected]. ---------- At Roetz, we believe in second chances and pursue a circular and inclusive future. We don’t judge a book by its cover: where others see waste and inability, we see useful materials and promising talent. At the Amsterdam-based Roetz Fair Factory, men and women with poor job prospects make new bikes from discarded ones. By hand and with pride. We train them to become skilled bicycle technicians and do everything in our power to help them find permanent employment. We want nothing less than changing the world for the better. That is why we are a Social Enterprise putting social impact first. With the Fair Factory, we prove that running a business and having a social heart can go hand in hand.

A good brand with a well thought through idea on how to offer a sustainably produced (recycled) bike at no loss of quality. We have had these bikes at our office for many years ( as they were our neighbors before they moved to noord) and they needed little maintenance.

Very nice to be able to visit the factory (before Covid of course) and see the production process. Feels good to be able to help support the initiative and have a wonderful bike at the same time!

Beautiful and very performing bike, plus you’re supporting a company and people with a great mission - what else could you ask for!

Awesome bike. Besides it good looks it rides very smooth, even after 3 years daily use, stalled outside always and very limited (sorry) maintenance. Besides that, it’s mainly made out of recycled materials and build by people who (for several reasons) would not have job today. Driving a Roetz bike reminds me daily how fortunate I am and also makes me more conscious about the raw materials we take for granted, while we should be re-using even more, today. Roetz is not just a bike, it’s message for a better future. Spread the word, ride a Roetz.

I bought a brand new Roetz bike and few weeks later I contacted them informing that there was a problem with the gears - from the beginning - that got worse and they did not provide any assistance. Said that the guarantee was valid for the frame and other parts. That I should have done a service run (up to 6 weeks after buying) and paid 50 Euros. I regret so much as for the amount I paid I could have had a real top bicycle. I'm trying to re-sell it for any offer.

Bought my Roetz Vigour almost two years ago. Have been using it daily since, between 5 to 25 km every day. Finally after two years I thought I'd have an expert see where some maintenance was needed. Result no maintenance needed at all, with specific complements for the quality of the wheels and spokes. So far my costs over the two years, aside from purchase, have been... 9.95 on chain lubricant. Only thing I had to do was tensioning the chain, which I could easily do myself. Considering the bike is still as good as new, it is easily five stars.
