How does it work?
What type of bikes are accepted?
We specialize in premium road, mountain, gravel, and e-bikes from the world's most respected manufacturers. As a general guideline, bikes and components with an original retail value of $2,500 are likely to be accepted.
Every item we accept is professionally inspected, refurbished, and prepared for its next rider — so we look for quality equipment that meets that standard.
Not sure if your gear qualifies? Reach out anytime — we're happy to help before you submit.
What type of condition is acceptable?
We accept gear in excellent to gently used condition — light scratches, minor paint chips, and everyday cosmetic wear are no concern. What matters most is structural integrity: all items must be free of cracks, significant dents, frame damage, or compromised carbon.
Every bike that enters our program undergoes a thorough professional inspection and refurbishment before reaching its next owner, so we look for bikes and components that are mechanically sound and ready to be brought back to peak form.
How do payouts work?
Payouts are provided at the time of drop-off.
