About us

We are Hans and Jolanda van Ginkel, together for 38 years and still happy. We met in a discotheque in Veenendaal, and since then we have been inseparable. We have two daughters who still live in the Netherlands.

Ever since he was 18, Hans dreamed of moving abroad, but when he met Jolanda, the plans changed. She was not ready to live abroad yet, and so we first built a wonderful life in the Netherlands for years with our daughters, family, and friends.

Early 2023 Jolanda also indicated that she was ready to move to Spain. The Spanish dream came true! Within a short time a ticket was booked and our adventure began.

Through a Facebook group we came into contact with Ruud, who told us more about the area and the process of emigration. During our first meeting on a terrace (as it should be in Spain 😉), we immediately felt welcome. In 2023 we visited the region around Torrevieja several times and -after having explored the area extensively- it was clear. Orihuela Costa became our new home base. We emigrated at the end of March 2024.

Jolanda continued her nail salon in Spain and Hans also continued doing what he did in the Netherlands; designing and installing bathrooms. However, lugging tiles and cement around is becoming increasingly difficult and an entrepreneur always looks ahead…

We saw an opportunity in the market and so the idea arose to start a rental company with e-bikes. After all, the beautiful surroundings in which we live are the perfect way to view them by bike! We decided to contact suppliers in the Netherlands. After a few phone calls and e-mails, we received an unexpected tip from our website builder. He was able to put us in touch with a Dutch bicycle manufacturer. This turned out to be a golden move. Through him, we got into conversation with the director of Dutch ID, exactly the brand of e-bikes we were looking for.

After a very pleasant conversation with Michel, the director of Dutch ID, we quickly decided to order 30 e-bikes. Our company had officially started! Although the price of these e-bikes is slightly higher, we knew that quality and reliable service are essential for both our customers and ourselves.

We are very grateful to our website builder Harnold and Michael from Dutch ID for their support and we are proud of our new company. With enthusiasm and confidence we look forward to a successful future for our company!
