Upway is the world's first online marketplace for certified electric bikes. Founded in July 2021 in Paris by Toussaint Wattinne and Stéphane Ficaja, two former Uber executives, Upway’s mission is to make electric bikes more affordable and extend the lifespan of every bike to promote sustainable mobility.
We offer professionally refurbished electric bikes at up to 60% off the price of new ones, backed by a 1-year warranty and delivered right to your door in just a few days.
3 KEY STEPS
- We source e-Bikes directly from manufacturers and retailers through trade-ins at bike shops, demo bikes, B-grades, returns, leasing returns, and individual customers.
- Each bike is fully refurbished with a 50-point inspection at our UpCenters in New York and Los Angeles.
- We then sell them nationwide through upway.co.
"We’re at the start of a massive shift in how people get around. When we founded Upway, our mission was to help lead that change and make light electric mobility accessible to everyone. We saw a gap in the e-Bike market: brand-new models were expensive, while the secondhand options often came with risks and little trust. Upway bridges that gap by offering high-quality, certified pre-owned e-Bikes at prices people can actually afford."
