Our Story
It all started with a bike…
In 2021, Vapaus gave returned benefit bikes a second life—and Precycled was born. Our mission is simple: bring sustainable, high-quality bikes to riders while reducing waste.
Every Precycled bike is carefully checked, repaired, and rated for condition, with worn parts replaced to ensure a smooth ride. All bikes come with a 12-month warranty, so you can ride with confidence.
We’re a passionate team of mechanics, webshop experts, and cycling enthusiasts, united by a shared goal: making cycling more accessible, eco-friendly, and fun. At Precycled, we’re not just fixing bikes—we’re creating a movement toward a greener future, one ride at a time.
BEHIND THE SCENES OF PRECYCLED
At Precycled, every bike’s journey starts long before it hits the road — with careful hands, sharp eyes, and a whole lot of passion. Take a peek behind the scenes and discover how we bring new life to every ride!
Why is a Precycled bike a great choice?
Cost savings
Precycled (used) bikes are significantly cheaper than new ones, allowing you to get a higher-end model for a lower price.
Eco-friendly choice
Buying second-hand reduces waste and lowers the demand for new bike production, which consumes raw materials and energy.
Less worry about scratches and damage
A used bike already has some wear and tear, so you won’t stress over every small scratch or dent.
Ideal for beginners and experimentation
If you’re new to cycling, a Precycled (used) bike lets you test different types (road, mountain, hybrid) without a huge investment.
One-year warranty
All Precycled bikes come with a 12-month warranty regardless of their manufacturing year.
