Bikehub is the number 1 online marketplace to buy and sell bicycles and related gear in South Africa. And in my opinion also in the world. Provided that you grab local stock off course. Simply because of the super clean look and feel en excellent user experience. And it is not just a marketplace; it is a TRUSTED marketplace. For which Saffers will have a great respect. Because there are just too many skelms on Facebook! But more on the Bikehub trust factor below.

What is the number #1 ranked cycling website in South Africa?
Bikehub, with over 650k monthly visitors (from 2024). Over 2 decades of Bikehub! In the article 20-years-of-bike-hub, Matt takes us through the Bikehub journey from the beginning. Starting with CyclingCT. Then featured in bicycling magazine. Through thehubsa.co.za. First a stock forum. Then opening a CC and the first custom built bike classifieds section. With a few setbacks along the way. And then the change to the Bikehub name. and introducing Bikehub pay.
What is Bikehub pay?
Bikehub says “In response, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, we launched Bike Hub Pay in November 2020—a secure payment service designed to safeguard both buyers and sellers during transactions.” I have used it. I love it. and it works as follows. When I buy something, the money first goes into escrow. So, the seller is notified that Bikehub has received my payment. Then the seller sends the bicycle or the goods. And only on my receipt and confirmation thereof do the funds get released to the seller. Brilliant. And at a low fee. Now you have peace of mind when buying bicycles in SA.
