Upway

Affordable and circular electric cycling

An electric bike often costs a hefty sum. Unfortunately, that does not make it possible for everyone to enjoy some extra support on the road. But the more people get access to an electric bike, the better. Because not only are they good for you, but also for the environment. Especially if they are refurbished! Upway buys up used electric bikes, inspects them, repairs them and makes them roadworthy for an affordable ride for everyone.

Electric bikes are becoming increasingly popular as a means of transport. This is good, because they offer an ecological and economic alternative to the car. So the more people can ride electric bikes, the better. They have understood that well at Upway. The company buys electric bikes from over 350 partner shops in Belgium, from manufacturers themselves and from private individuals who want to sell their bikes. They are thoroughly checked, repaired and made ready for a second life.

For the environment, refurbished bikes mean less electronic waste and less CO2 emissions than the production of new bikes. For your wallet, it means savings of up to 60%, compared to buying a new one. And that while you can choose from a wide selection of top brands, such as Lapierre, Giant, Conway and Cannondale. So it's a win-win, for the environment and yourself.

As soon as the bikes arrive at the workshop in Antwerp, they undergo a thorough round of inspections. The mechanics check that there is no structural damage to the frame, transmission, motor or battery. After the inspection, mechanical and electrical overhauls follow, after which the bikes are fully adjusted and cleaned. So you can rest assured that your ‘new’ bike will arrive at your home in top condition. Now you just have to pedal away.
