Refurbished means you're buying a previously used e-bike , but it's been fully inspected and serviced before delivery. All refurbished e-bikes you buy from LikedBikes are in perfect technical condition .
Defective or worn parts are classified according to the following criteria exchanged:
Brake pads: wear > 70%
Brake disc: when the wear limit is reached
Coats: wear > 50%
Chain: when stretched beyond the tolerance limit
Chainring/pinion: in case of deformation or damage
Handles: wear > 50%
Pedals: wear > 50%
Battery/Motor/Display/Control Unit: if damaged
Larger scratches and/or scuffs on the frame will be repaired. Refurbished bikes may show slight signs of wear.
Which of our refurbished e-bikes is right for you depends primarily on what you want to use it for . In the city, a city or trekking bike with a moderate motor is often sufficient. For hilly terrain or sporty tours, a more powerful motor with more torque or a frame with robust suspension is advisable.
By paying attention to the following points when purchasing, you can narrow down your selection considerably and find the right e-bike:
Frame size and geometry must match your body size and riding posture.
The motor and battery are crucial for the riding experience and range – the more support and capacity, the longer and more powerfully you can ride.
Do you need a luggage rack, mudguards, or lights ? Choose a model with features that meet your everyday needs.
Weight and handling are important in everyday lifeThis is especially important. If you have to carry your e-bike or maneuver it frequently in the city, you should pay attention to this.

The right frame size is crucial for your comfort and riding style. To find a suitable refurbished e-bike, your height and inseam are the most important factors.
To calculate your frame size, you first need to measure your inseam. Stand barefoot and as upright as possible with your back against a wall. Then, clamp a thick book between your thighs so that your crotch rests on the spine like a saddle. Ideally, have a second person help you measure your inside leg, using a tape measure to measure your inside leg length from the floor to the top of the spine.
Multiply the result by a factor (0.66 for city and trekking bikes; 0.55 for mountain bikes) to calculate the recommended frame size in cm.
Example calculation:
You have an inseam of 85 cm and want to buy a refurbished e-mountain bike. To determine the right frame size, calculate:
85 cm × 0.55 = 46.75 cm
Therefore the correct frame size is 47 cm.
If you are unsure, we will be happy to help you find the right frame size find – feel free to contact us !
Most new e-bike batteries are designed for approximately 500–1,000 full charge cycles . This means you can expect a lifespan of around 5–7 years with normal use. Even with a refurbished e-bike from LikedBikes, the lifespan depends on how often you ride, how you care for the battery, and whether you store it properly.
The range of your refurbished e-bike battery can be influenced by several factors:
Driving style: Frequent starts, high support levels or sporty driving reduce the range.
Terrain: Slopes or uneven paths require more energy.
Weather: Cold weather reduces the performance of lithium-ion batteries, while headwinds increase energy consumption.
Technology: A well-oiled chain and properly inflated tires reduce rolling resistance and improve range.
Weight: The higher the total weight (rider, e-bike and luggage), the higher the energy consumption.
To keep your battery performing as long as possible:
Recharge it regularly and avoid emptying it completely.
Store the battery in a dry place at temperatures between 10 and 20 °C.
Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat (e.g. in a car in summer) or frost.
Always use the original charger to charge the battery.
Protect the battery from shocks and moisture.
If you're not using your refurbished e-bike for an extended period (e.g., during the winter), charge the battery to approximately 50–80% and store it in a dry place at 10–20°C. Check the charge level every three months and recharge as needed. This will prevent deep discharge, which can permanently damage the battery.
To keep your e-bike running smoothly for a long time, you should take it to a trusted specialist workshop for an inspection once a year or every 2,000 km . You can also extend the lifespan of your refurbished e-bike by following our simple maintenance tips :
Cleaning: Wash your e-bike regularly, but avoid spraying the battery directly with water (ideally, remove it first). Use a damp cloth to clean the frame and components.
Lubrication: Oil the chain regularly to minimize wear. Use special chain oil suitable for e-bikes.
Check your brakes: Check your brake pads and brake fluid regularly to make sure your brakes are working properly.
Tires: Check tire pressure regularly and ensure it meets the recommended values to optimize range and ensure rim durability.
Battery care: Do not let the battery run completely flat and avoid storing it in extreme temperatures for long periods of time.
Use a sturdybike lock to keep your e-bike as secure as possible. You can choose between reliable but rigid U-locks and flexible chain locks, or opt for a folding lock.
If possible, park your e-bike in a well-lit, busy area and lock it with the frame and front wheel. As a rule of thumb, you should spend approximately 5–10% of your bike's new priceon a suitable lock .
To insure your refurbished e-bike, you'll need the correct brand,frame, and serial numbers , as well as the original receipt from LikedBikes. This receipt is important because it provides proof of both the purchase price and the owner of the e-bike.
Please note that this is the invoice you received directly from LikedBikes, not the purchase invoice from the manufacturer to LikedBikes. The insurance requires the value of the bike in its current condition, not the new price.

No , because high-quality e-bike batteries can withstand 500–1,000 charging cycles – often equivalent to over 30,000 km with a stable range.

Adjust brake lever Position the brake levers so that you can reach them easily and comfortably from your sitting position. Tighten the Allen screws to secure them.
Mounting pedals Pay attention to the pedal markings: "R" for right and "L" for left (as seen from your direction of travel). Remember that one of the pedals has a left-hand thread. Screw the pedals firmly and securely into place.
