The average price of a used bike in the UK depends heavily on type. Typical ranges for well-maintained used bikes 2-5 years old: hybrid bikes £150-400, entry-level road bikes £300-700, mid-range road bikes £700-1,500, high-end road bikes £1,500-3,500, hardtail mountain bikes £350-900, full-suspension mountain bikes £1,000-2,500, gravel bikes £600-1,800, and electric bikes £800-2,200 depending on motor system and battery condition. Kids bikes are the category where depreciation hits hardest — they sell for 30-50% of retail even in excellent condition because parents expect bargains. Published "average prices" on broad marketplaces are almost always asking prices, not closing prices: real closing prices tend to be 15-25% lower. For a more precise benchmark on a specific bike, use a valuation tool that combines depreciation curves with live marketplace comparables rather than relying on listing averages.
Cyclesite is more than a marketplace. It’s a UK-wide community of riders buying, selling and talking bikes every day.
Share feedback with the team, vote on ideas for new features, or chat with fellow cyclists about a bike you’re eyeing up, a build you’re proud of, or what sold in a few days.
The best way to make Cyclesite better is to hear from the people using it. Tell us what’s working and what you’d like to see next. Every post reaches the team and we reply to all of them.
