When is the ideal time to sell my bicycle?
It depends. However, we have a general rule: High-end road, mountain, and triathlon bikes sell in autumn and winter. This is because serious cyclists prepare and train in the off-season. They research models extensively and buy early to get the best bike before summer demand spikes. Meanwhile, kids' or basic sport bikes sell best in spring and summer. People often buy these bikes to meet immediate needs like warm weather or replacing a broken bike.
What is the best time to sell my bike?
The best time for a bike sale is difficult to predict. Basically, of course, most people ride their bikes in the summer. Therefore, you see proportionally more purchases in the summer and fewer purchases in the winter. However, buyer behavior differs for different types of bicycles. Therefore, it is also important to know what type of bicycle your used one is. Here is a first indication of the best times to sell the different types of bicycles:
1. spring/summer
The perfect time to sell a city bike, trekking bike or children's bike. These bikes are mostly bought according to immediate needs, i.e. when it is warm and there is no bike available or the old bike is broken, people usually want to solve the problem quickly and buy a new bike. For the above types, there is usually less emphasis on brands or special models, so they are usually NOT bought in the winter (with advance) for the next spring. Basically, this buying behavior also applies to sporty bikes in the low-priced segment. Beginners in racing bikes or mountain bikes usually decide to start the new sport only in the warm seasons. The same also applies to the e-bike versions of the bicycle types mentioned.
2. autumn/winter
In the colder seasons, especially high-priced sports bikes are bought. So if you want to sell an expensive road bike, MTB, triathlon bike or e-bike, then the fall/winter is well suited for this. If you look at the buying behavior of triathlon bikes, for example, you can quickly see that the sporty, ambitious buyers are already gearing up for the new season in the winter. The competitions usually take place in the summer, so the triathlon enthusiasts already want to take care of the optimal material with enough lead time. The same applies to high-quality racing bikes and mountain bikes. Most races take place in the warm summer months. Ambitious (hobby) athletes already prepare themselves in winter for the sporting tasks in summer. In a weakened form, it can also be seen that high-quality e-bikes are already being purchased in the winter "in advance of the warm season".
Before buying expensive bikes, where several thousand euros are spent, most cyclists conduct a long research on the available models and suppliers. If the right model is then found, buyers usually strike directly before the "run" on the popular models starts in the summer.
Basically, even high-priced bikes are bought in the summer and spring, so you can sell these bikes all year round. But in autumn and winter the chances are at least as good as in the warm months.
Which bikes can I put up for sale?
Currently you can sell road bikes, including gravel and triathlon bikes, as well as mountainbikes at buycycle. We are working on adding more and more types of bikes soon.
