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.

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.
