Used Exercise Bikes

A second-hand exercise bike is a smart choice if you want to save on your purchase without compromising on quality. Our second-hand exercise bikes have been fully checked by our own mechanics, refurbished where necessary and delivered with warranty. This way you have the certainty of a properly working machine at an attractive price.

Second-hand exercise bikes come to us via trade-in, for example when customers purchase a new device. Each incoming device is extensively tested on all moving parts such as the brake system, the crank, the pulley transmission, the flywheel and the display. Parts that no longer meet our quality requirements are replaced before sale. Do you want to view the complete range of exercise bikes including new models? Then go to all exercise bikes.

Why choose a used exercise bike?

A quality exercise bike is a durable machine that lasts for years with good maintenance. That makes used exercise bikes a particularly attractive choice. For a fraction of the new price you have a reliable machine that has already proved itself and is ready for use.

Our used exercise bikes are not comparable with a machine from a second-hand shop or private sale. Every machine is extensively checked and tested by our own specialised technicians. Extra attention always goes to the moving and wear-sensitive parts. The following parts are always inspected and replaced if necessary:

• The braking system and brake surfaces
• The crank and bottom bracket
• The pulley transmission and belt
• The flywheel and bearings
• The pedals and pedal axles
• The display and buttons
• The frame and connections

Only after a machine has passed our quality control and been found fully functional do we offer it for sale. Every machine is delivered with warranty. The duration of the warranty differs per machine and can be found per exercise bike in the product information.

Which used exercise bike suits you?

The right choice depends on your training goal, physical situation and the desired type of exercise bike. The scenarios below will quickly point you in the right direction.

You want to start with cardio training accessibly and are looking for an affordable entry point: A used upright exercise bike is the most affordable way to start with cycling training at home. Suitable for beginners who want to first experience whether home training suits them before investing in a new model.

You have back complaints or want extra comfort and support during training: Choose a used recumbent bike. The backrest fully supports your back and the low step-through height makes getting on and off easier. Recumbent bikes are particularly interesting on the second-hand market because they are generally durably built.

You are older or less mobile and are looking for an accessible exercise bike at an attractive price: View our range of used exercise bikes with low step-through height. These models are specially designed for athletes who have difficulty lifting their legs high. Also read our page on exercise bikes for older people for more information.

You want to train intensively and are looking for a robust machine at a lower price: Used exercise bikes in the higher segment offer you professional quality at a considerably lower price than new. When purchasing, pay attention to the braking system, maximum user load and available resistance levels.

How do we check our used exercise bikes?

Every used machine that comes in with us is extensively checked and tested by our own specialised technicians. Extra attention always goes to the moving and wear-sensitive parts. The following parts are always inspected and replaced if necessary:

• The braking system and brake surfaces
• The crank and bottom bracket
• The pulley transmission and belt
• The flywheel and bearings
• The pedals and pedal axles
• The display and buttons
• The frame and connections

Only after a machine has passed our quality control and been found fully functional do we offer it for sale. Every machine is delivered with warranty. The duration of the warranty differs per machine and can be found per exercise bike in the product information.

Used exercise bike vs. new: when do you choose which?

A used exercise bike is the best choice if you want to save, are looking for a reliable entry model or want to test whether home training suits you. A new exercise bike is the better choice if you want the latest technologies, consider specific features such as app connectivity or a large screen important, or want to be certain of maximum warranty and the longest lifespan.

What to look for when buying a used exercise bike?

Braking system

The braking system determines the quality of use and maintenance costs in the long term. An induction or magnetic braking system is the most reliable choice. A brake band system wears faster and requires more maintenance. Always ask which braking system the machine has and whether this part has already been checked and inspected.

Usage intensity and age of the machine

With our used exercise bikes you know exactly what you are buying. Every machine has been professionally inspected and found functional. Nevertheless, it is always useful to ask about the age of the machine and the usage intensity before purchasing.

Warranty

Never buy a used exercise bike without warranty. With us you always receive warranty on every used machine. The warranty duration can be found per exercise bike in the product information. This gives you the certainty that you are making a reliable purchase.

Adjustability and fit

Check whether the saddle and handlebars are sufficiently adjustable for your height and seating position. A correct seating position prevents back, knee and shoulder complaints. Preferably test the exercise bike in our store in Volkel before buying.

Our advice: Always buy a used exercise bike from a specialist dealer who has professionally inspected the machine and offers warranty. A used exercise bike via a private advertisement or second-hand shop offers no warranty on the condition of the moving parts and can in the long term turn out to be more expensive than an inspected machine with warranty.

Who are used exercise bikes suitable for?

• Beginners who want to first test whether home training suits them before investing in a new model.
• Budget-conscious athletes who want to train with good quality without paying the full new price.
• Older people and athletes in rehabilitation who are looking for a reliable exercise bike at an attractive price. Also view our range of exercise bikes with low step-through height.
• Athletes who are expanding and are looking for a second exercise bike for another space or as a supplement to their existing fitness equipment.
