Used exercise bikes in Melbourne typically sell for A$115 to A$670 (about $81 to $470). Exercise bikes sell better than most gym equipment because they are compact and easy to move, but buyers want to know the resistance still works smoothly through its full range.
Selling an exercise bike in Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne has around 5.1 million people in Victoria, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Melbourne
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.

Put in the description
- Whether the console works and what it displays
- Maximum user weight if stated, and the assembled dimensions
Type and brand, because these are quite different machines: “Spin Bike”, “Upright Exercise Bike” and “Recumbent Exercise Bike” attract different buyers. Include the brand and whether the console works, and mention if it is magnetic resistance, which is quieter and more desirable than friction.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
