Electric bikes continue to get better and better, and upgrading your current ride can get you in on the action and new tech. But is it possible to trade in your old e-Bike for credit toward a new one? The answer is yes— Upway offers a "Sell your e-Bike" program, and on top of that, you get $150 off towards your next purchase. Find out just how easy it is to get cash or credit for your used e-Bike!


Sell your e-Bike to Upway

Selling your used electric bike to Upway gets you cash and an additional discount to put toward a new model. Simply fill out the online selling form to tell us about your e-Bike— model, year, condition, etc.— and we’ll send you a competitive offer fast. Accept the offer and we’ll even cover the shipping costs, too! 

Additional $150 credit

You’ll get paid within several business days, and when you sell your bike to Upway, you'll also receive a $150 promo code to purchase another bike. This is a great way to upgrade to a newer model from Upway’s huge online e-Bike catalog, including cargo, commuter, folding models, and more.

Upway’s Trade-In Program


Upway’s Trade-In Program is another smart way to upgrade your e-Bike. We partner with over 200 local bike shops across the US that can help you trade in your electric bike and receive store credit. It’s a win-win, letting you support your local shop and test new bikes in-person while giving your used e-Bike a second life at Upway!

Just like selling to Upway directly, you’ll receive a quote based on our real-time pricing tool, and you can put that value toward a new model at the participating location. Some partners, such as Mike’s Bikes, Rad Retail locations, and Conte’s Bike Shop, include an additional incentive when you buy a new electric bike!

How does Upway’s Trade-In Program work?

  • Step 1: Bring in your e-Bike
  • Take your used e-Bike to a participating shop, where the team will use Upway’s real-time pricing tool to give you a quick quote.
  • Step 2: Trade it in
  • Accept the offer and instantly apply the trade-in value as a discount toward your new e-Bike purchase at that shop.
  • Step 3: Refurbish & resell
  • Your former e-Bike will be sent to an UpCenter for professional reconditioning before being resold—helping extend its life, lower e-Bike costs, and promote the circular economy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the warranty on Upway bikes?

Upway sells electric bikes with a one-year warranty. The warranty guarantees the bike has no defects in materials or workmanship under normal use for twelve months from the purchase date by the original buyer. Another way to protect your electric bike is with e-Bike insurance, which we offer through our partners at Sundays at the time of purchase. 

Where does Upway get its bikes?

Upway sources its electric bikes from a variety of channels. We get many of our bikes directly from manufacturers that have bikes they want to send, overstock, or last year’s models. We also receive e-Bikes from bike shops across the country and individuals looking to give their used e-Bikes a second life.
