Trade-in questions, answered
Most ebike brands — including many we don't sell — as long as the battery is certified UL Listed. Sorry, we can no longer accept Rad Power bikes. The bike must be structurally sound and in good working order: brakes, gears, motor, and electrical all functioning. Scratches and scuffs are totally fine.
Four things: brand (trusted names hold value), original purchase price, year and mileage (less wear = more credit), and current market demand — just like cars, the used ebike market fluctuates.
Everything essential that came with the bike — at minimum the battery, charger, and any keys. Plus proof of ownership (original receipt or invoice is ideal) and state-issued ID when you bring it in.
Store credit at Clever Cycles — we don't buy ebikes for cash. Use it immediately toward a new bike or gear, or save it for accessories, tune-ups, or a future purchase.
No listings, no lowball offers, no meetups. We give a fair, straightforward quote — and we'll happily walk you through how we got there. You won't get top private-sale dollar, but you skip all the hassle, and your bike gets serviced and finds its next rider.
