Second-hand bikes are rapidly gaining popularity, and it’s not hard to see why! Last year, we sold over 5,000 second-hand e-bikes, women's bikes, men's bikes, and children's bikes. And their biggest motivation (aside from cycling, of course ;))? Choosing a sustainable and affordable second-hand and refurbished bike.
Of course, it is extremely important that you don't just buy a second-hand bike at random.
At Cheapass Bikes, all bikes and e-bikes are thoroughly inspected before they are sold. This means that all parts that no longer function are replaced with parts in good working order. As a result, all our bikes are in top condition. This means that the bikes aren't really 'second-hand' (even though they are often called that), but 'refurbished'. Refurbished means that all the bike's parts have been checked and repaired or replaced where necessary. In essence, you receive a second-hand bike that is as good as new!
What does this mean for you as a consumer?
It means you not only get a high-quality bike, but you also contribute to a more sustainable world. By choosing a refurbished bike, you are actively helping to reduce waste and promoting the reuse of materials. For example, bike frames are often reused, while small parts are replaced or repaired. This ensures you enjoy reliable cycling pleasure while also encouraging the reuse of materials.
And let's not forget the second reason why people choose a second-hand bike: affordability! According to our customers, this is a major reason they come to us. Quality bikes don't have to be expensive, and that is exactly what we demonstrate at Cheapass Bikes. Because we reuse bike frames and as many parts as possible, the price for your bike goes down. By buying second-hand, you save the difference compared to a new bike, which can quickly add up to thousands of euros for a good electric bike.
Choose a refurbished bike from Cheapass Bikes and experience the perfect combination of quality, sustainability, and affordability. Cycling has never been better for you and the world around you.

Buying a second-hand bike: What should you look out for?
