Used exercise bikes in Canada typically sell for C$115 to C$660 (about $81 to $470). Exercise bikes are easier to move than treadmills, which broadens the buyer pool and keeps them selling reliably.

Selling an exercise bike in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
Working out what yours is worth
- Pedal through the full resistance range listening for noise
- Check the seat and handlebar adjustments move freely
Getting it ready
- Ride it through the whole resistance range and listen for grinding, and check the flywheel spins freely.
- Wipe down the frame and handlebars, and check the pedal straps and seat post clamp.

Put in the description
- Resistance type, magnetic or friction, and how many levels
- 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.
Collection in practice, though lighter and far more manageable than a treadmill. Say whether it comes apart at the handlebars and seat post, which often makes the difference between fitting in a car and needing a van.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$661 a buyer pays is the C$661 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell an exercise bike in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
How much does it weigh?
Give the figure. Spin bikes are far heavier than they look and buyers need to plan the vehicle and the help.
Do exercise bikes sell well second hand?
Yes, better than treadmills, mainly because they are lighter and much easier to move. Prices stay modest because supply is plentiful.
Do connected bikes lose value without a subscription?
Some do, since key features are locked behind it. Be clear about what works without an active subscription.
