Where can I get replacement parts for a refurbished e-Bike?

If you require a replacement part at some point during the lifespan of your e-Bike, it’s relatively easy to find the right match. Models from the top brands use high-quality components that are serviceable or made by well-supported brands like Bosch that sell individual batteries, chargers, and displays. For example, all Gazelle electric bikes have Bosch drive units. You can buy Bosch batteries, chargers, and other accessories directly from Upway or ask your local bike shop for assistance. 

Upway sells a wide selection of e-Bike accessories if you want a backup battery or useful add-ons for your ride:

  • Batteries
  • Chargers
  • Child seats
  • Baskets and bags
  • Cycle computers and GPS
  • Helmets
  • Bicycle lights

Of course, if a part is damaged during shipping or has a defect, it’s our responsibility to replace it for you. Under warranty, we will work with a local bike shop or source the part ourselves to get the issue taken care of.
