Seen In Vancouver #341: “Motomethod” An East Van Bike Repair Shop For The DIY Set

We dig the hell out of the idea behind Motomethod, the community motorcycle repair shop on Frances Street.

Whether you need a tune up, a new tire, an engine rebuild or if it’s your own project bike…we can help. Motomethod is the first in the industry to allow you, the rider, to come in and ‘rent a bay’ and repair your own bike, or learn how. We provide the space, tools and resources…so come on down and do it yourself!

It’s a cool story told well by the film peeps at Zenga Bros (thanks).
