When choosing a new second-hand bike, frame size is undoubtedly the most important thing to get right. After all, you can change your handlebar stem and move your seat around to fine tune your bike fit – but all this is irrelevant if you haven’t got the right sized frame to begin with.

There are a number of reasons why buying a second-hand bike is one of the best decisions you can make. Not only does it give you an opportunity to buy a great bike for a fraction of the price of buying one new, but it also means you can find rare or discontinued models that once took the cycling world by storm.

The second-hand bike market provides a wealth of opportunity when it comes to finding a bargain. It offers you the chance to buy a premium bike stacked full of high-quality components, for the same price as a new entry-level model.

As cyclists, many of us have had the gut-wrenching experience of returning to a rack to find our bike missing. With more than 77,000 bikes stolen in England and Wales each year, it is an all too common experience.

In short, yes! Stroll into a bike shop and you’ll be able to find everything, from slick electric hybrids to electric mountain bikes and electric cargo bikes. These bikes made by trusted brands are legal in the UK, but that’s not to say that every electric bike you come across will be.
