What are Precycled bikes?

"It all started with a bike..."

The story behind Precycled started in 2021, when Vapaus decided to give a new life to the returned used benefit bikes. Vapaus wants to stand behind its values to continue making the world a better place by extending the lifespan of bikes.

Bikes are close to our hearts, this comes as no surprise. We take very good care of the returned benefit bikes before listing them as Precycled on our webshop. All bikes go through maintenance checkups and worn parts are replaced ensuring a smooth ride for the next user.

All Precycled bikes come with a 12-month warranty regardless of their manufacturing year. You can read more about the warranty policy in our terms of service.

The condition of the Precycled bikes varies a lot. Having this in mind, we implemented a "Precycled condition rating", so it is easier for our customers to find what they are looking for.

Condition rating:

Like New
The bike is in really great condition for a used bike and only has some signs of use.
Excellent
The bike is in good condition considering its age and mileage. The bike has some clear signs of use.
Good
The bike has worn parts and clear traces of use. However, the bike is fully functional and fully rideable.
Satisfactory
The bike in this condition has a lot of marks and worn parts. However, the bike is in riding condition and has been checked for safety.

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.
