Used kids bikes in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 125 to AED 595 (about $34 to $160). Children’s bikes are sized by wheel diameter, not frame size, and getting that one number into the title is what separates a listing that sells from one that gets ignored.
Selling a kids bike in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Ask how long the seller has owned the item. Postings here run longer than in Dubai, so goods are typically better used but also better looked after, and the ownership history tells you which you are getting.

What kids bikes are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised lightweight brands
- Stabilisers and original accessories included
What pulls it down
- Seized bearings and stiff steering
- Missing stabilisers on bikes for younger children
Working out what yours is worth
- State the wheel size in inches, which is how parents shop
- Check both brakes work and are reachable
Getting it ready
- Check both brakes work and that a child’s hands can actually reach and pull the levers.
- Pump the tyres, oil the chain and clean it. A clean bike photographs as cared for and sells for noticeably more.
Photograph
- The whole bike side on, clean, against a plain background
- Both brakes and the drivetrain
Put in the description
- Wheel diameter in inches, and the age or height range it suits
- Number of gears, if any
Collection, and most fit in a car with a wheel out or a seat down. Offer to let the child try it — it converts far better than any photograph.
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.

Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Can a child reach the brakes?
Check the lever reach and say whether it is adjustable. Many adult-designed levers are too far for small hands and it is a real safety point.
