So you've decided it's time for a new bike.
Maybe you've been eyeing a new Santa Cruz, Specialized, Rocky Mountain, Kona, or Ibis. Or perhaps your riding has evolved and your current bike just isn't the right fit anymore.
Then reality sets in: first you have to sell your old bike.
So you post it online...
Within minutes, the messages start rolling in.
- "Is this still available?"
- "What's your lowest price?"
- "Would you trade for my dirt bike/guitar/Xbox?"
Then come the lowball offers. The endless questions. The no-shows. The awkward parking lot meetups with strangers.
Weeks (or months) go by, and your bike is still sitting in the garage.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone.
We created the Flow State Certified Pre-Ridden program to make selling your bike simple, safe, and stress-free.
Instead of navigating the uncertainty of online marketplaces, let our experienced team handle the process from start to finish.
How It Works
Step 1: Submit Your Bike
Complete our quick online submission form with a few details about your bike, including photos, model, size, and condition.
We'll review your submission and let you know if it's a good fit for the program.
Step 2: Bring It In
Once approved, we'll schedule a time for you to bring your bike to the shop.
At intake, there is a $90 certification fee, which covers:
- Professional inspection
- Photography
- Online listing
- Marketing
- Viewings
Our mechanics will perform a thorough inspection to ensure your bike is safe, mechanically sound, and ready for its next rider.
If any maintenance or repairs are recommended before listing the bike, we'll discuss everything with you before proceeding.
Step 3: We Handle Everything
This is where things get easy.
We'll:
- Professionally inspect your bike
- Photograph it
- Write a detailed listing
- Market it online and in-store
- Answer customer inquiries
- Process the sale securely
No more answering Marketplace messages.
No more wondering if someone will actually show up.
No more awkward negotiations.
Just a professional, hassle-free experience from start to finish.
Step 4: Get Paid... or Trade Up
Once your bike sells, you have two great options.
Consignment (Get Paid)
Choose consignment and receive 80% of the final sale price, paid via e-transfer after the bike sells.
Trade-Up Credit (Get More Value)
Planning on upgrading?
Choose Flow State store credit and receive 90% of the final sale price toward your next bike, accessories, and service.
It's one of the smartest ways to make your next dream bike more affordable.
Program Details
- The consignment period lasts 3 months
- If your bike has not sold after 3 months, it must be picked up from the shop
Why Buy a Flow State Certified Pre-Ridden Bike?
Buying a used bike shouldn't feel like a gamble.
Every Flow State Certified Pre-Ridden bike undergoes a professional inspection before it's offered for sale.
That means buyers can shop with far more confidence than they would buying from a stranger online.
For sellers, it means their bike is professionally presented and backed by the reputation of a trusted local bike shop.
Everyone wins.
What Bikes Do We Accept?
To maintain a premium selection, we're selective about the bikes we accept.
Generally, we're looking for quality bikes from reputable brands in good mechanical condition. We're looking to purchase bikes from the original owner—proof of purchase is required.
Not sure if your bike qualifies?
Submit it anyway. We'd be happy to take a look.
Spend Less Time Selling. Spend More Time Riding.
Your bike still has plenty of adventures ahead of it.
Let us help it find its next rider while you focus on your next one.
Whether you're looking to upgrade or simply want to avoid the headaches of selling online, we're here to help.
