Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is included in the packages?
In all the packages we provide the smoothie bike and all the equipment (knives, chopping boards, spoons, tongs, tupperwares, cleaning equipment), a fully trained, uniformed member of staff, cups  and healthy eating/healthy living literature.

What do I need to provide?
We would need access to clean water (we can collect some at the beginning of the session for use throughout) and a table to display the fruit.

What space does the bike require?
An area 3 metres x 3 metres is plenty space for the bike and equipment.

Do I need to provide access to power?
No, the smoothie maker is pedal powered.

How long can I hire the bike for?
The bike is available for full days (up to 8 hours) and half days (up to 4 hours).

Does a half day have to be either morning or afternoon?
No. A half day could be spread over any 4 hours. So, this could be 9am-1pm/10am-2pm/ 11am-3pm etc.

What if I need the smoothie bike for longer than 8 hours?
We can hire the smoothie bike out for additional hours at an agreed price.

How many people can use the bike during a session?
The half day session allows for 100 smoothies and the full day session allows for 200 smoothies. However, if you know you are going to have more people at your event we can adjust the servings so that more people would get less than a full smoothie (e.g. 400 people could get half a smoothie on a full day hire). If this option isn’t suitable you can purchase extra fruit for an additional charge.

Can I hire the smoothie bike on its own, with out bike staff?
No. We wouldn’t hire the smoothie bike without our trained staff accompanying it.

Is there a minimum age/height for bike users?
We would normally recommend the bike can be easily be people aged seven years and older but this depends on the child’s height. If a child is too small to be able to use the bike easily they can still take part in the workshop (choosing the fruit and making a smoothie) but someone else could pedal the bike on their behalf.

Can I take pictures of the bike for my own use?
Yes. You can take pictures of the session and use them for your own purposes as long as it isn’t for a commercial purpose.
