How Cyclesite valuations work
Cyclesite's valuation tool takes your bike's brand, model, year, and condition and returns a private-sale range (low, mid, high) plus an indicative trade-in value (typically 60-75% of private sale). Valuations are based on real UK market prices, what bikes actually list and sell for.
Factors that affect your bike's value
The main factors are: brand and model (premium brands hold value better), age (expect a 20-30% drop in the first year, then about 4-7% of remaining value a year), condition (excellent bikes command 30%+ premium over fair condition), groupset level, frame material (carbon vs aluminium), and any upgrades like wheels or saddle. E-bike batteries are a major factor, a depleted battery can reduce value by 30-50%.
Private sale vs trade-in value
Private sale typically gets you 25-40% more than trading in at a bike shop. On Cyclesite, listing is free during our launch, and you reach the full private-sale market, with an automatic stolen-check on every listing. The trade-off is speed: trade-ins are instant, while private sales on Cyclesite take an average of 27 days.

How accurate are online bike valuations?
Cyclesite's valuations are based on real UK market prices rather than a fixed depreciation table, so they reflect what comparable bikes are actually listed and sold for. Each result comes with a confidence level, based on how many recent comparables were found, so you know how reliable the estimate is.

How much does a bike lose in value each year?
Most bikes lose the most in their first year, around 20-30%, then about 4-7% of their remaining value each year after that, not a flat slice of the original price. A £1,000 bike is typically worth £600-£750 after two years. Premium brands (Specialized, Trek, Canyon) hold value better than budget brands. E-bikes depreciate a little faster due to battery concerns.
