Long gone are the days of scouring Craigslist in search of the perfect used bike. Those old-timey internet quests had their charm, but buying and selling that way wasn’t so convenient or secure. And I got tired of meeting up at public places like gas stations or Starbucks to make a deal anyway.

Welcome to the new era where you can easily sell your e-Bike completely online. You don’t have to get off the couch but you will have to lift a finger, even if it’s only to make a few clicks. In this article, I’ll explain how simple it is to sell your electric bike with Upway and a few other places you can post your e-Bike for sale.

4. Get paid!

Within 5 business days of shipping your bike, we will securely transfer the payment to your bank account. But wait there’s more! When you sell your bike to us, you'll receive a $150 promo code to purchase another bike on Upway.

Other bike-specific marketplaces

Upway is the only marketplace that deals only with electric bikes, but there are a handful of other bike-specific platforms that can help you sell your used electric bike.

Bike-specific marketplace comparison chart

Buycycle: Sellers can list their bikes or e-Bikes on Buycycle's online platform at a price of their choosing. Interested buyers can reach out to ask questions or negotiate. Buycycle facilitates the shipping process while earning a percentage of the sale proceeds. I’ve written about the differences between Upway and Buycycle so you can find out which best fits your needs.

Bicycle Blue Book: Known for making bike value assessments, the BBB also purchases used bicycles and hosts a public marketplace. Much like Buycycle, the BBB Marketplace offers sellers a platform to list their bikes, connecting them with a wide online audience. Compare Upway vs. Bicycle Blue Book to find out which is right for you.

The Pro’s Closet: TPC is back from a hiatus and started back up their submissions for higher-end electric bikes. To sell your bike or e-Bike to TPC, the model must be from 2018 or later and have an original retail value of $2,000 or higher.

Online and local listings

You can post your second-hand e-Bike for sale on general reselling sites like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or Craigslist. You may already be familiar with using these websites or want to close the deal in person, such as with Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. eBay offers some seller and buyer protection but will take a cut of your final profits— it can also be a huge pain in the butt (and expensive) to ship a large bike box. Recently, I wrote about how Upway compares to eBay and Facebook Marketplace.

Your search for the perfect affordable electric bike is finally over. Upway has a huge range of e-Bike deals, ranging from commuter models to cargo haulers and road e-Bikes! Each of the high-quality electric bikes is professionally inspected and certified by our expert team so you don’t have to play the guessing game when buying a second-hand e-Bike. Enjoy killer discounts, quick shipping, and great e-Bikes from the top brands.

Key Takeways

Upway simplifies e-Bike sales: Sell e-Bikes easily with Upway’s direct process, free shipping, and quick payments, plus a $150 promo code for future purchases.
Bike-specific platforms: Use bike-specific platforms like Buycycle or Bicycle Blue Book for tailored support, or general sites like eBay for broader reach but more effort.
Pick among many options: Pick a platform based on bike type, pricing flexibility, and convenience.
