Refurbished Bikes and E-Bikes: Discover the Benefits!

If you’re considering purchasing a new bike or e-bike, have you thought about going the refurbished route? At Moose, we specialise in quality refurbished bikes and e-bikes, and we’re passionate about showing you why choosing refurbished is a smart, sustainable, and cost-effective option. Here’s why shopping refurbished might just be the best decision for your next ride.

What do we mean by a 'Refurbished+' bike?

We distribute three types of bikes at Moose: Brand New, Nearly New, and Refurbished+.

  • A brand new bike is self-explanatory; it's straight from the box into your possession.
  • A nearly new bike is also unridden however, it may have a couple of marks on it. These are often ex-display models.
  • A refurbished+ bike has received a detailed analysis of by professional bike mechanics.These step allows them to verify that there is no structural damage on the frame, the motor or the battery. They proceeds to either repair or replace mechanical parts which requires attention.

By diagnosing the motor, battery and electronics this allows them to determine if there are any error codes or updates needs to processed. This means a refurbished bike will be sold to you "as good as new" condition. Most refurbished bikes come with a warranty and a return policy if it's not quite suitable for your needs.

Why choose 'Refurbished+'?

1. Save Big Without Compromising on Quality

One of the biggest advantages of buying a refurbished bike or e-bike is the cost savings. New e-bikes can come with a hefty price tag, especially with all the latest tech. Refurbished bikes and e-bikes, on the other hand, offer a fantastic opportunity to get high-quality models at a fraction of the price. Our team thoroughly inspects, services, and restores each bike to ensure that it rides just like new, often with updated parts and fine-tuning for optimal performance.

By choosing refurbished, you’re essentially getting a high-quality bike or e-bike at a reduced cost, perfect for both budget-conscious riders and those looking for top brands without the new-bike markup.

 2. Eco-Friendly Choice

Shopping refurbished is also one of the most sustainable ways to purchase a bike. With each refurbished bike you buy, you help reduce the demand for new manufacturing and prevent valuable materials from ending up in landfills. Bikes and e-bikes are built from metals, batteries, and other resources that require significant energy to produce, so choosing refurbished means you’re contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.

For those who want to make an eco-friendly purchase, a refurbished bike aligns with that goal. It’s not just a purchase—it’s a choice to reduce waste and support a greener future.

For e-bikes, our team checks battery health and motor performance to ensure that it will give you the range and power you need.
