This year I discovered several dealers who specialized in the sale of reconditioned bicycles. For example, a Catalan company near Barcelona “Bike Ocasion” has reconditioned more than 1000 bicycles. These are bicycles purchased on Spanish territory and soon offered for sale in France with 1 year warranty.

You are probably also familiar with the Tuvalum society, which has often been compin the ranking of the second-hand market with VSV. Well know that Tuvalum, a company from Valencia (Spain), also specializes in the sale of reconditioned bicycles with more than 500 bicycles for sale throughout France.

So what's the point of buying a so-called "reconditioned" bike? It is clear that the refurbishment and the guarantee are paid for?

Aren't there French players in this market?

Yes, to my knowledge there is “Upway” rather specialized in electricity. While the 2 Spanish companies “Tuvalum” and “Bike Ocasion” mainly offer muscle bikes… Road, gravel and mountain biking.

Good morning ! Are you going to offer refurbished bikes with a guarantee?

We directly no! Since we are only connecting. But we will be partners of the main players in this specific market for France and Belgium. This means, for example, that the entire range of refurbished bicycles from Tuvalum and Bike Ocasion will be present on VSV from January 2023. This represents more than 80% of the refurbished market.
