Our take
Upway is a second-hand marketplace for electric bicycles, offering a more affordable alternative to new models. The company purchases e-bikes from both private sellers and e-bike companies, refurbishing them and reselling at a discount, a model that appeals to those looking for quality e-bikes at a lower cost.
The electric bike market in Europe is booming and expected to double in value over the next decade. Upway capitalises on this growth by addressing consumer concerns about the quality of second-hand bikes. Through its refurbishment process, it ensures customers can confidently purchase pre-owned bikes, reducing both costs and environmental impact.
In addition to its expansion into key European markets, Upway has recently formed a strategic partnership with Rad Power Bikes. Through this collaboration, customers of Rad's US retail locations can trade in their old e-bikes for discounts on new models, supporting a circular economy. An exciting partnership that strengthens Upway's position as a leader in sustainable mobility and makes e-bikes more accessible.
