AND THAT’S A WRAP! Holy mackerel we all did it! With our crowdfunding campaign complete, we’ve pulled down the shutters and put a big fat tick next to ‘successful crowdfunding campaign’! It’s all thanks to you that we’ve been able to reach this point. With 1075 of you having invested in the business, we’re beyond psyched that so many of you have decided to join us on the ride in bringing faff-free bike repair to everyone.
Whilst you may know you’re onto an absolute corker of a business, the ultimate test is whether the wider public agrees with you. With so many of you coming out in force to own your very own piece of fettle, there really is no greater compliment.
After crowdfunding £1.5m we’re ready to take fettle to the rest of the UK! We’ve been plotting and preparing our expansion outside of London, and now we’ve got the funds it’s time to hit the ground running! Getting up to 90 bike repair workshops in the next 5 years is going to be hard work, but we say BRING IT ON! The future’s looking bright. Watch this space!
Keep on riding,
Jeyda Heselton, co-founder Fettle.

Here’s what to look at.
How E-Bikes Are Making Cycling More Inclusive For Everyone
Tuesday 20th January 2026
Cycling used to come with assumptions. You had to be fit enough. Fast enough. Confident enough. Live close enough. For a long time, that quietly excluded a lot of people. E-bikes have changed that. Not by replacing traditional cycling, but by widening the door. They’ve made cycling more practical, more forgiving, and more realistic for everyday life — and that’s why they’re becoming such a permanent part of urban transport.
