Looking to Sell your bike in South Africa?
Here are 10 options to sell your bike in South Africa. A bicycle that is. Whether you are upgrading or departing or simply want to get rid of a bicycle. Here are the best options for you to do so. And I think we will probably go 1 step further and put them all to the test ourselves and then report back with the findings. Watch this space. Until then, consider the following 10 options when selling your bicycle in South Africa. Let’s go!
Sell your bike on BIKEHUB.co.za
Bikehub is the biggest bicycle forum and classifieds in South Africa. And their custom bikehub pay feature works like a charm. And it goes like this. the seller can list an item. The buyer and pay for the item. But the money goes into escrow, with bikehub. Then the seller sends to item to the buyer, and when the buyer confirms that the items is received and good condition then the funds are released. Thereby protecting both parties. Genius. With this service you list the item yourself, so have to determine a fair price and wait for buyers. Find them on bikehub.co.za/ and then ship the bike with #bicyclecouriers
Sell your bike on MARKETPLACE
Same as bikehub ito you as the seller having to determine the price. And list the item. And filter through many tedious ‘is this item still available’ requests, only to have the potential buyer vanish into thin air when you respond yes. And often also full of scammers. Which is an awful waste of time. But also means those who dare can find a few bargains. Buyer beware. And as per our PSA public safety announcement, never send the bicycle before the funds have cleared in your bank account! Find it at facebook.com/marketplace/ and then send the bike with #bicyclecouriers
Sell your bike on BIKEADDICT.co.za
Bike Addict is the massive bikeshop in Malmesbury. Which is (relatively speaking) around the corner from us who are based here in Stellenbosch. And Bike Addict uses the sell your bicycle feature to attract new buyers for their own new stock. So, the sale to them acts as a trade-in. But you can most certainly also do an outright bicycle sale to or through them, as they might refer you to Mohammed at The Bike Garage below. Either way, both are great options to have. Find them on bike-addict.co.za/ and send through #bicyclecouriers
Sell your bike on BIKEMARKET.co.za
Bikemarket is a wordpress website for buyers and sellers of bicycles in South Africa. A marketplace that has been around for ages. So, they know what they are doing. And similar to what Webuycars.co.za has, Bikemarket also uses a pretty nifty scorecard that tells you the condition of each of the most crucial elemeents of the bike, incl. frameset, wheelset, groupset, and more. I love it. and they ship nationwide. Have a look at their wide range of bicycles in stock or submit your details for a quick sales offer from Bikemarket.

Either way. I have reached out to see what the offer would be for my very own bicycle. Will report back in due course.
