Overview
- Retailers and platforms are running end-of-season promotions with reductions of around 40% or more, including deals on E-MTBs from outlets such as Decathlon, B. O. C., Bikes.de, FaFit24, Lucky Bike and Netto.
- Refurbished inventory is plentiful from specialists like Rebike and Upway, which source mainly leasing returns and offer documented checks plus guarantees that reduce buyer risk.
- Rebike advertises two years of cover on battery and motor, while Upway performs a 20‑point inspection and includes a one‑year warranty with 14‑day returns.
- Price guidance consolidates at the low end: refurbished models often start around €600–€1,200, used listings from about €800, and new entry options typically from roughly €1,000–€2,000, with shipping fees varying by seller.
- Buyer checklists emphasize a battery of at least 400 Wh for city use, reputable motors from Bosch, Shimano or Yamaha, hydraulic disc brakes, and clear service and return terms, as industry data show e-bikes surpassed conventional bikes in 2023.
