Used electric bikes in Richmond, British Columbia typically sell for C$470 to C$2,250 (about $335 to $1,600). On an electric bike nothing matters as much as the battery: its age, its capacity and its remaining range decide most of the price, and a vague answer costs you hundreds.
Selling an electric bike in Richmond
Richmond is built on flat delta islands at sea level, protected by dykes, and it has one of the highest proportions of residents born outside the country of any city in Canada. The international airport sits inside its boundaries, which shapes a great deal of the local economy.
The city is completely flat, which makes it one of the easiest places in the region to move anything, and the dyke paths are genuinely useful for cycling. The rapid transit line to the airport is the obvious landmark for a small handover.
The whole city sits at or near sea level behind dykes, so ask whether anything stored at ground level has been damp. It is a normal question here and honest sellers will answer it directly.
Richmond, in British Columbia, has around 210,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What electric bikes are worth
What lifts the price
- A recognised motor system with parts and servicing available
- Original charger and any spare battery
What pulls it down
- Generic or discontinued motor systems with no parts support
- Missing charger, which is proprietary and costly
Working out what yours is worth
- Charge fully and ride a known route to measure real range
- Note the motor system, battery capacity in watt-hours, and the mileage
Getting it ready
- Charge the battery fully and note how long a real ride lasts. State the range honestly rather than repeating the manufacturer’s claim.
- Find the battery capacity in watt-hours and the motor power in watts, and check the battery for any swelling or damage.
