How are prices determined?

Your offer price is based on the original retail value of your bike, its mileage, and market factors such as demand and seasonality for your model.

Reconditioning costs are also factored in so that the future owner can enjoy your old bike in perfect condition, with a one-year warranty.

Do I get cash or store credit?

When trading in your bike or electric bike at your favorite Bicycle Warehouse bike shops. You’ll receive in-store credit that goes toward the purchase of a new bike or gear at the shop. 

Can I trade in more than one bike at the same time?

Yes! You can trade in multiple bikes or e-bikes in a single visit. The combined trade-in values will be applied as store credit toward your new bike or gear purchase.

Why trade in instead of selling my used bike myself?

You can certainly try to sell your bike online, but ask yourself if you really want to spend your weekend answering fifty "Is this still available?" messages, dodging random lowball offers, and scheduling awkward driveway meetups with strangers from Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

Trading in your used bike or e-bike at Bicycle Warehouse is instant, safe, and completely hassle-free. There is no cleaning, no listing, no shipping boxes, and zero scam risk. Just drop off your old ride, get guaranteed in-store credit on the spot, and roll out on your new bike the very same day!
