Upway Certified
At Upway, every electric bike is repaired, inspected, and certified by a professional mechanic to ensure you're getting a high-quality bike in new or ‘like-new’ condition. Have a look at our 5-step certification process
STEP 1
Mechanical and Electronic Inspection
Each bike we receive is subject to a detailed 20 inspection point review.
These steps helps us verify that there is no structural damage to the frame, mechanical components, drive system, or battery. It also allows us to identify the repairs necessary to restore the bike to ‘like new’ condition.
Our 20 inspections points include:
Checking the electric bike's electronic components including:
1. Motor and Assistance
2. Battery
3. Charger
4. Display screen
5. Lights

Mechanical Repairs
Once the diagnostic process is done, our team proceeds with refurbishment.
This process includes:
- Replacing worn parts that are not in ‘like new’ condition (e.g. tires, brakes, cables, chains, ...)
- Bleeding hydraulic brakes
- Replacing worn bearing systems
- Truing wheels and replacing spokes as necessary
- Lubrication of the chain
- Comprehensive quality control check to ensure proper adjustment and alignment of all component systems
STEP 3
Electronic Repairs
Our electronic inspection helps us determine what components need replacement, repair, or firmware updates.
Motor and Electrical Assistance:
- Drive unit (motor) diagnosis and inspection via appropriate manufacturer software
- Inspect and repair or replace torque sensor if necessary
Battery:
- Charge cycle diagnostic test
- Charger and connectors test
- Refurbishment or replacement (Battery replacement is necessary when it is at or beyond 80 percent of its life cycle)
Display and Accessories:
- Display inspection and software update, repair and replacement if necessary
- Accessories inspection and update including lights, indicators, alarms, etc. repair and replacement if necessary
STEP 4
Adjustments and Final Inspection
Finally, each bike has its brakes aligned and adjusted for positive, confident braking, its derailleurs or hub shifting systems dialed in for crisp, accurate shifting, and each and every bolt and fitting tightened to manufacturer specification.
