The maths

How the calculator works

It starts from the original retail price and applies a depreciation curve, then adjusts for condition and type.

1
First-year drop A bike loses about 25 percent the moment it leaves the shop and through its first year.
%
Yearly depreciation After year one it keeps about 90 percent of its value each year, so losses slow down over time.
◆
Condition Multiplies the figure up for a like-new bike or down for a worn one, worth up to 30 percent either way.
⚡
Type E-bikes are discounted hardest for battery ageing; road and gravel bikes hold value best.
±
Asking range A band around the estimate gives you room to price high for a clean bike or low for a quick sale.

No formula beats real market data, so treat this as a starting point. Search completed listings for your exact make, model and year, and adjust for anything the calculator cannot see, like a sought-after colourway, rare sizing, or upgraded wheels.

FAQ

Used bike value FAQ

A typical bike loses roughly 20 to 25 percent of its retail price in the first year, then about 10 percent of its remaining value each year after that. So a three year old bike is often worth around 55 to 65 percent of what it originally cost, before adjusting for condition and type.

Start with the original retail price, then discount for age and condition. This calculator applies a first-year drop, a yearly depreciation rate, and a condition and type adjustment to land on an estimate, then gives you a range to set your asking price within. Checking recent sold listings for the same model is the best way to confirm it.

Pick like new for a barely-ridden bike with no marks, good for a well-kept bike with light wear and full working order, fair for visible scratches or parts nearing replacement, and worn for a bike needing service or new consumables. Condition can swing the value by 30 percent or more, so be honest.

E-bikes depreciate quicker mainly because of the battery, which degrades with age and charge cycles and is expensive to replace. Buyers factor in that a used e-bike battery has fewer miles left, so the calculator applies a steeper discount to electric bikes than to road or gravel bikes.

List near the top of the range if your bike is clean, serviced, has upgrades or is a sought-after model, and price toward the estimate or below if you want a fast sale. The range gives you negotiating room, since most buyers expect to haggle a little off the asking price.

Some, but rarely their full cost. Quality wheels, a power meter or a groupset upgrade can lift the price, while worn tyres, a chain, or a cassette actually lower it because the buyer must replace them. As a rule you recoup a fraction of upgrade cost, so factor that in when choosing where to sit in the range.
