What 2Rad Weigang does

2Rad Weigang is a family-owned German bicycle retail business operating a vit:bikes franchise location at Grevenerstraße 434 in Münster. Co-owned by Georg Weigang and Anja Weigang, the company sells e-bikes, conventional bicycles, cargo bikes, and cycling accessories from brands including Orbea, Simplon, HoheAcht, Ca Go (complete bikes) and ABUS, SQlab (components). Its operational differentiator is a laser-based body measurement system used to determine optimal bicycle geometry and ergonomic setup for each customer, included free with every bike purchase. The Münster location combines a showroom, consultation facilities, and a service workshop operating Tue–Fri 10:00–18:30 and Sat 10:00–15:00, supported by a team of approximately 12 staff including sales consultants, a master bicycle mechanic leading service, leasing and insurance specialists, a working student, and a first-year apprentice.

The business operates four revenue streams: retail sales of bicycles, e-bikes and accessories (one-time); facilitation of employer-based bike leasing through four external providers — Bikeleasing-Service, JobRad, Linexo, and Deutsche Dienstrad — earning commission or margin on salary-sacrifice arrangements (transaction fee); workshop and repair services with a 48-hour turnaround commitment (professional services); and post-sale accessories and add-ons. The go-to-market is sales-led and appointment-based: customers book online consultations, undergo laser body scanning (60-minute session), and purchase bikes with optional leasing. The vit:fahrspassgarantie value package — bundling laser measurement, a 4-week return policy, discount vouchers, the 48-hour service guarantee, a free riding pleasure check within 3 months or 350 km, and complimentary accessory mounting for two years — anchors the customer value proposition around reducing purchase anxiety.

As a vit:bikes franchisee, 2Rad Weigang is plugged into a nationwide network of 30+ licensed dealers across Germany, which extends the geographic reach of customer order routing beyond the single Münster storefront. Marketing operates across YouTube (educational top-of-funnel content), Facebook and Instagram (brand presence and reviews), and an online appointment booking flow capturing bottom-of-funnel intent. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no patents or trademarks.
