What a used exercise bike is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for exercise bikes, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £350 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £297 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £227 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £157 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £87 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a exercise bike
- Smooth, quiet flywheel with no rubbing
- Working console and resistance adjustment
- Recognised brands with parts still available
- Original pedals, mat and any accessories
What lowers it
- Grinding bearings or a rubbing resistance pad
- Dead consoles on models where displays are integral
- Seized or cracked seat posts
- Missing subscription-locked features on connected bikes
How to work out what yours is worth
- Pedal through the full resistance range listening for noise
- Check the seat and handlebar adjustments move freely
- Confirm the console powers up and reads correctly
Once you have those three answers you can place your own exercise bike on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
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.
What should I check before selling one?
Pedal through the whole resistance range and listen. Grinding or rubbing is the fault buyers most want to avoid.
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.
