1. Why buy a used e-bike?
Buying used e-bikes can be a smart decision. Especially if you want the model of your dreams, such as a SUSHI BIKE, but your budget is currently limited. Often the batteries on used bikes are already broken in, which means you can start cycling straight away without having to wait for them to charge. When buying a used e-bike, the Bosch motors and the mileage are important factors. Make sure the motor runs reliably and check the kilometers the bike has already covered. With a little patience, you are sure to find a high-quality used bike that fits your needs perfectly.
2. Advantages of used e-bikes
Used e-bikes offer a cost-effective way to enter the world of electric bikes. Generally, prices for used e-bikes range from 500-3000 euros. In general, it can be said that a used e-bike is worth about 40-60% of its new price after 2 years.
In addition, many of the used e-bikes have already proven themselves in everyday life, so you can benefit from the experiences of others. Another advantage is the variety of models available: from city e-bikes to trekking bikes to specialized mountain bikes - you will find a wide selection on the used market. You can also often discover individual offers in terms of accessories and equipment that make cycling with your used e-bike even more enjoyable.
3. What should you pay attention to when buying a used e-bike?
When buying a used e-bike, you should pay particular attention to the condition of the battery, as this has a decisive influence on the performance and range of the bike. Also check the motor and mileage to ensure that the e-bike will continue to function reliably for a long time. A thorough inspection of the brakes, frame and accessories such as lights and gears is also important. Pay attention to whether the e-bike has been regularly serviced and whether all components are still working properly. Also ask about the lifespan of the battery and whether it has possibly already been replaced. A test ride is essential to test the handling of the used e-bike and to make sure that it meets your needs.
