Residents of the Golden State can take advantage of golden opportunities to buy certified pre-owned electric bikes from Upway.

Upway now calls CA home with a new UpCenter in Los Angeles, delivering faster and more affordable shipping in our largest single market. Electric bikes sold in California make up 26% of Upway's overall sales in the US. Here’s where to buy certified used e-Bikes in California. 

Are there certified pre-owned e-Bikes for sale in California?

Californians can purchase certified pre-owned electric bikes from trusted retailers like Upway, browse online, and have their bike delivered to their doorstep. Electric bikes are especially popular across California due to the pleasant weather and expansive infrastructure that accommodates faster bicycles, meaning there are plenty of used models around.

Many used e-Bikes are sold on local listings or privately, without quality assurances or inspections. Buyers can get a great deal, or they can end up with an e-Bike with serious issues. Certified retailers conduct professional inspections or buyer protections— for example, each Upway e-Bike comes with a 1-year warranty and 14-day return period.
