How The Ark Cycles Part Exchange Scheme Works

How The Ark Cycles Part Exchange Scheme Works

Thinking of upgrading your bike but not sure what to do with your old one? At The Ark Cycles, we make it easy with our popular Part Exchange Scheme.

A simple way to trade in your old current bike and save good money on a brand-new machine.

Okay sounds good but HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?

Step 1: Bring your bike to us for an evaluation

Simply head down to our lovely shop near Stroud (Gloucestershire) with your old bike.

The better condition the bike, the more you'll save on your new ride! So be sure to give it a clean and make sure it's running well to get the maximum amount for it!

One of our team members will inspect the bike in the shop and give you a fair valuation based on its condition, brand, and current market value.

*We won't trade in any bike, we have the right to not trade in a bike if we feel it's not a brand we want to sell on here at The Ark.

Step 2: Get an offer from us on your old bike!

Once we’ve assessed your bike, we’ll likely then make you a generous trade-in offer. This amount can be used as a discount towards the purchase of any new bike from our shop! With tons of options in store to choose from you'll be sure to find the perfect machine to take your riding to the next level! 

Step 3: Choose your new bike.

Now for the fun part! Use your trade-in value to put towards any new bike we have in stock. Whether you’re after a top-end mountain bike, a speedy road bike, or something more versatile, we’ll help you find the perfect upgrade.

Explore our MTBs here.

Discover our Road bikes here.

Shop our wonderful Kids bikes here.

Meet our E-Hybrid range here.

Or go big with our E-MTB range!

Step 4: Ride away happy!

Once you’ve chosen your new bike, we’ll deduct your trade-in value from the price, and you can take your new ride home. Simple as that!

So Why Use Our Part Exchange Scheme?

  • Save Money – Get a great discount on your next new bike.

  • Hassle-Free – No need to sell your old bike privately, this saves a lot of headaches.

  • Instant Trade-In – Walk in with an old bike, and walk out with a new one.

So, if you’re ready to upgrade, bring your bike in today, and let’s get you rolling away on something shiny and new!

See you in the store soon!

Hi Ewan,

Great to hear you are interested in our part exchange programme! We offer an in-store evaluation only, as we need to look at the specifications and condition of your bike in detail before moving forward.

Which one of our bikes might you be trading it in for?

I've just bought a brand new whyte t-160s full suspension mountain bike, and I was wandering how much I could get it valued at, thanks.
