Used electric bikes, checked and graded

Second-hand e-bikes for commuting, trekking and city riding — inspected against 24 checks, with measured battery capacity in the report.

What a used e-bike has to prove

A used e-bike is a battery, a motor and a frame sold as one thing. The battery is the expensive part and the one sellers describe loosely, so we measure it; the motor and drivetrain decide whether the ride feels right, so we test them under load; and the frame decides whether it is safe, so we inspect welds, alignment and every mounting point.

What we look at on this type

  • 01
    Battery capacity and cyclesMeasured in Wh against rated capacity, with cycle count from the BMS.
  • 02
    Motor and assist behaviourCut-off at the legal limit, sensor response, walk assist, error codes.
  • 03
    DrivetrainChain stretch, cassette or belt wear, derailleur alignment, shifting under load.
  • 04
    Brakes and wheelsPad and disc thickness, hydraulic feel, wheel true, spoke tension.
  • 05
    Frame and forkWeld inspection, alignment, headset play, rack and mudguard mounts.
  • 06
    What comes with itKeys, charger, battery key and the documents we hold.
Sizes matter more than specs on a used bike. Tell us your height and inside leg and we will confirm the frame size before anything is shipped.

Condition grades

A, B, C — and what each one means

Grade is cosmetic. The number that matters is the measured battery capacity, and it is printed on every report.

A

Light use

Minor cosmetic marks only. Battery at or above 90% of rated capacity.

Battery floor
≥ 90%
Report
Included
B

Regular use

Visible cosmetic wear, mechanically sound. Battery between 80% and 89%.

Battery floor
80–89%
Report
Included
C

Working condition

Clear cosmetic wear and older components. Battery between 70% and 79%.

Below 70% state of health we do not sell the battery as part of a complete vehicle — we either replace the pack or sell the bike without it. The grade and the measured capacity are stated in the report, never in the listing copy alone.

FAQ

Questions about e-bikes

What counts as a legal e-bike in the EU and UK?

Generally a pedal-assist bike limited to 25 km/h and 250 W continuous, with assistance cutting out above that speed. Faster or throttle-led machines fall into other categories with licensing and insurance consequences. If a vehicle is not in the pedal-assist class we say so in the report and in the listing.

Can the battery be replaced later?

Yes, on most models — but the pack format and connector matter. The report names the pack and its capacity so a replacement can be matched. Where a pack is proprietary and no longer produced, we say that before you buy.

Do you sell bikes without a battery?

Only where stated. A bike sold without a pack is priced accordingly and the listing says so; the 24-point check still covers the motor, controller and wiring.
