If you’re in the market for an e-bike, you may be considering a certified pre-owned option from the popular Upway marketplace. Upway is a leading retailer of used electric bikes that launched its U.S. e-bike platform in March 2023 after becoming a trusted retailer across Europe. 


Before buying your e-bike from Upway, you may want to know how we source our e-bikes. Understanding our sourcing and refurbishing process can help you know where your bike comes from and why our e-bikes are a trusted, affordable option.

How Do We Source Our E-Bikes?

At Upway, we take pride in offering the best e-bikes at competitive prices. To achieve this, we carefully source our e-bikes through several channels:


Manufacturer and bike shop partnerships:

We have established partnerships with leading e-bike manufacturers and bike shops. These relationships allow us to secure exclusive deals and offer affordable options to our customers.


Trade-ins

We accept trade-ins from customers looking to upgrade their current e-bikes. When we acquire pre-owned e-bikes, we put them through a rigorous inspection, repair and certification process to ensure they meet our strict standards for performance and safety.


Overstock and clearance sales

We capitalize on overstock and clearance sales from manufacturers and retailers, allowing us to provide our e-bikes at discounted prices. This is why you will find new bikes on Upway with very low mileage.


Our Certification Process

All our e-bikes go through a rigorous inspection and 5-step certification process. This process includes a 20-point inspection that assesses all components of the e-bike to ensure it is in like-new condition when we put it on the marketplace.


Inspection

Our team of expert technicians carefully inspects each e-bike, assessing its motor, charger, battery, display screen and lights. We also check the frame, wheels, tires, brakes, saddle and all other components. 


Repair and replacement

If our professional mechanics discover any damaged components, they repair or replace them with genuine parts from the original manufacturer. 


Testing

Once repairs are complete, we test the e-bike to ensure it operates smoothly and safely. This includes charge cycle diagnostic testing, testing the charger and connections and testing the drive unit via manufacturer software.


Final certification

After the e-bike passes all tests and inspections, it receives our Upway Certified Pre-Owned seal, a guarantee of quality and reliability.
