Indoor cycling platform ROUVY has refined its ‘Pausing’ feature, created a new Free version, and introduced a new ‘Daily Pass’ pricing option. The aim is to offer better value and more flexible subscription options for users.
Pausing
Recognising that riders like to ride outdoors during their summer season, but that weather conditions or other circumstances might prevent this, ROUVY is allowing every user the option to pause their subscription for 180 days.
This aims to provide the flexibility for users to not pay for the platform when they’re not using it but also to ride indoors should they need to during this period. ROUVY users can un-pause at any time, once per calendar year.
Should users wish to jump on ROUVY for occasional rides, they can take advantage of a free 20km per month which they can ride whilst their subscription remains paused.
All users, existing and new, will be eligible for the new Pausing option.
Prepaid yearly subscriptions will be prolonged by the number of paused days. For example, if a user who has a yearly subscription which ends on September 30, 2024, decides to pause for 30 days, the yearly subscription will be prolonged by 30 days so the new end date will be October 30, 2024.
Free
To enable users to keep exploring the ROUVY platform virtually and try new features and routes as they are added, ROUVY is introducing a new free mode. This will allow users to continue riding on ROUVY for free with limited access after ending their subscription.
Subscribers who end their subscription will be permitted to ride up to 20 km per month at no cost. Access to Races and Group rides will still require an active subscription.
Daily Pass
In addition, ROUVY has introduced a new Daily Pass, which can be purchased by users with paused subscriptions. Passes are priced at US$2.99 for 24 hours, US$3.99 for 48 hours and US$4.99 for 72 hours.
Petr Samek, Co-Founder and CEO of ROUVY, said “We have always said, and continue to say, that ROUVY helps you be a better cyclist and enjoy the outdoor experience.
“I believe it makes sense to use ROUVY all year round. On the other hand, we absolutely understand that there is no substitute for outdoor riding with friends. Finally, we want loyal and satisfied customers. That’s why we leave it up to our customers.
“Ride with us year-round, or feel free to pause during the summer, you’re still part of our community of loyal users and have access to all the benefits we offer as part of our loyalty program.”
The new Pausing subscription will roll out on ROUVY from June 1, 2024. Daily Pass and Free version options are available now.
