Benefits of Certified Used Electric Bikes
Saves you money
One of the most attractive benefits of buying used is how much money you can save compared to new models. Just like used cars, electric bikes depreciate quite a bit right when they roll out of the shop, even if they aren’t heavily used yet. So you can snag a great e-Bike that’s in great shape for much less.
Bikes may be discounted simply because they are last year’s model or were the demo bike on the shop floor, meaning you can save money on models that are essentially brand new. The savings on used e-Bikes from Upway can be up to 60% compared to the original MSRP!

Better value
Not only are the sale prices more affordable, but pre-owned e-Bikes can help you get a better quality bike for the money. Instead of maxing out your budget on a brand new model, buy a used one with even better specs and more premium components. These higher-quality parts are more reliable and durable and will prove their longevity over time.
Some of the fanciest electric bikes can be well beyond the $5,000 mark, such as full suspension mountain bikes and cargo e-Bikes with all their extra bits and premium parts. But buying used can slash that price in half, so you can hop on an e-Bike with all the specs you’ve been dreaming of. That fancy Bosch motor, plush RockShox suspension package, or fully-equipped commuter e-Bike are now within reach!

Better for the planet
Opting for a second-hand electric bike is more environmentally friendly, too. Simply riding an e-Bike has environmental benefits, but purchasing a used e-Bike goes a step further. It gives a second life to an existing e-Bike, saving the carbon footprint of manufacturing a brand-new one. According to the European Climate Foundation (ECF), the manufacturing footprint of e-Bikes is around 130-150 kg of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Reusing and reconditioning electric bikes prevents usable bikes from ending up abandoned in garages or, even worse, landfills.

Upway provides a warranty
Some people may be hesitant about purchasing a used e-Bike because of quality concerns or the lack of warranty typically provided with brand-new models. But Upway offers a one-year warranty on all of its electric bikes, in addition to the fact that every model is professionally inspected and reconditioned before being posted for sale.
