Velomotion used seal: Buy used with a good feeling
New e-bikes are expensive, and so a flourishing second-hand market has also developed for e-bikes with attractive prices. platforms like Velomotion.de are actively used by providers and interested parties, but there is always uncertainty. After all, not everyone dares to realistically assess the condition of a used bike, and while sellers want to ensure that they are offering a technically flawless pedelec, buyers want to protect themselves from purchasing a faulty product, especially when buying privately there are usually no warranty claims.
Together with the specialist trade, Velomotion has now started an initiative to remedy this situation. The Velomotion used seal gives suppliers clarity about the condition of their e-bikes and interested parties the security of purchasing a fully functional product. And last but not least, the seal highlights a correspondingly certified bike from the mass of offers, especially since you are on Velomotion.de you can explicitly search for bikes with a used seal.
Second-hand quality with the Velomotion used seal
The procedure is quite simple: the seller makes an appointment with one of the Velomotion-certified partner workshops. There the e-bike is tested on the basis of an extensive checklist inspected, with all assemblies being subjected to close scrutiny; software diagnostics and updates are also carried out. The individual steps are recorded in the test report so that the customer is informed about all work; the checklist later serves as proof of the good condition of the bike for prospective buyers. If the e-bike is free of defects, the customer will receive a code linked to the specific bike (make, model and frame number) from the retailer and later when creating the sales advertisement Velomotion.de is entered, whereby the used seal is activated.
Inspection of the electric bike and creation of the used seal code cost 69 euros; the remedying of any defects is not included - the costs for this are of course based on the amount of work and the necessary spare parts. At the end of the procedure, an electric bike that has been checked by a specialist retailer stands up Velomotion.de, which is free from obvious and hidden defects. And so both sellers and buyers can close their deal with a good feeling.
