Built on real UK bike and bicycle market-price data
Every valuation blends real UK market prices: live listings and completed sales. See the methodology
Methodology owned and reviewed by Tom Southern, Founder.
How it works
Every valuation blends real UK market prices, live listings and manufacturer data, so today's number reflects today's market.
01
Real UK market prices, what bikes actually list and sell for, drive the core estimate.
02
Current asking prices keep the estimate in step with the live market, not last year's comps.
03
Manufacturer pricing crossed with condition-specific depreciation curves anchors newer models.

What moves the price
These aren't baked into the headline figure, but they can swing the real-world price of any used bike up or down.
Sellers who go in with these to hand finish their listing in under ten minutes. None of them are deal-breakers, but each one helps.
Proves provenance and rules out the bike being stolen. Buyers pay more for documented purchase history.
Used for our automatic stolen-bike check before the listing goes live. Usually stamped under the bottom bracket.
Stamps from a bike shop or your own dated maintenance log. A serviced bike sells faster and at a higher price.
Component manuals, the original spec sheet or carry-over warranty paperwork. Not essential, but useful when you have it.
Battery keys, lock keys and any associated app credentials. Missing keys are a common reason buyers walk away.
Drive side, non-drive side, cockpit, drivetrain, any wear, plus the frame number close-up. Natural light, plain background.
Every bike is auto-checked against UK stolen-bike databases before it goes live.
Common questions
Ready when you are
Every valuation on Cyclesite is based on real UK market prices: what bikes actually list and sell for.
The calculator values e-bikes like any other bike: enter the brand, model, year and condition and you'll get a low / mid / high range from UK e-bike market data. These three factors decide where your e-bike sits within that range.
The single biggest factor in any e-bike's used value. A depleted battery can reduce value by 30-50%, because the next owner is buying a replacement. Charge-cycle count, age and a recent service report all support a price at the top of the range.
Current-generation motors from Bosch, Shimano, Specialized and Yamaha hold value well because parts and service are easy to find in the UK. Discontinued systems, or brands without UK service support, sit towards the lower end of the range.
E-bikes depreciate faster than non-assisted bikes because battery and motor technology keeps improving. A realistic price moves an e-bike quickly; an optimistic one ages badly as newer systems reach the used market.
