Looking for a new pair of wheels?
Aventon and Upway, two e-bike companies, are teaming up to help people upgrade their bikes with the largest trade-in program of its kind.
As Upway explained in a press release, the program will support 165 Aventon Signature Dealers around the United States.
It will rely on Upway's real-time pricing tool to assess the trade-in value of people's current e-bikes. Customers can then apply that value to a new purchase at the dealer.

💡Upway makes it easy to find discounts of up to 60% on premium e-bike brands
Plus, Aventon is offering a $200 holiday bonus deal for trade-ins until December 24, 2025.
Once an e-bike is traded in, Upway will put it through a 50-point inspection process and then resell it at a discount with a one-year warranty. The company aims to refurbish 1 million e-bikes back to good riding condition in this way by 2030.
Clearly, the trade-in program is mutually beneficial to each company. It also helps consumers upgrade their bikes for less money and extends the lifespan of existing bikes. That's a win for limiting product waste in a large, growing industry.
"Together, we're expanding access to safe, high-performance e-bikes nationwide and driving progress toward a more sustainable mobility future," Maxime Renson, general manager USA at Upway, said in a statement.

Not to mention, those who participate will benefit simply from riding an e-bike. For example, using one to commute to work instead of a car can save you a ton of money on gas and keep associated vehicle pollution out of the air.
An e-bike only needs electricity to charge and sometimes a little pedal power, so they are good for your health as well.
