The zero-emission car wash that rides to the car makes a good story. Here is where it has been told so far, and how to reach us to tell it next.
At a glance
Yikes Car Wash is London's mobile car wash by cargo e-bike: founded 2023 in Archway N19, zero emissions on the journey, around a quarter of the water of a typical mobile wash, serving London, Cardiff and Southampton. Featured live on national television for keeping cars clean lawfully through the hosepipe ban. Press enquiries: call 07932 124870.
When the 2026 water restrictions reached London, GB News invited Yikes on air to explain how car washing continues lawfully through a hosepipe ban, and why a wash that carries its own 30 litres beats an open hose pouring away 150. Watch the clip, or read the background in our hosepipe ban guide.
A commercial fleet with zero tailpipe emissions, run from cargo e-bikes in one of the world's most congested cities. A wash that reaches the cars vans cannot: permit bays, mews, underground car parks. Water use at a quarter of the industry norm, in a country now rationing it most summers. And the small-business story of building all of it from Archway. We can supply photography of real jobs on real London streets, and riders who are happy on camera.
For comment, filming or interviews, call 07932 124870. We are quick, honest, and used to live television.
Come and watch a wash happen at a London kerb. We will bring the bike; you bring the notebook.
