A trusted certification standard for premium used bikes

The trusted history of your bike.

A trusted inspection standard proves a bike's condition today. A Passport keeps a verified record of everything that happens next — and passes it to the next owner. So when it's time to sell, your bike is valued for what it really is.

Multi‑pointInspection, by bike type

Looking at a used bike? Check its certificate before you buy.
How it fits together

One bike. One history. Every owner.

The Certificate proves condition at the moment of sale. The Passport carries that proof forward, so each resale starts from a verified record rather than a blank page.

01 · CERTIFICATE
Certify

One standard, one A–D grade, whoever inspects.

02 · CERTIFICATE
Sell

The certificate travels with any listing, anywhere.

04 · PASSPORT (soon)
Build

Services and repairs logged by Partners.

05 · PASSPORT (soon)
Re-certify

Annual grade alongside a standard service.

06 · BOTH
Resell

Years of verified history, not a blank page.

↺  The next owner takes over the Passport, and the cycle begins again.
Why proof pays

Sell your bike for what it's actually worth.

Buyers knock money off what they can't check. Independent proof of condition and care takes away the reason to discount a bike you've looked after.

“Well maintained, never crashed, recently serviced. Genuine reason for sale.”
Has it ever been crashed?
When was it really last serviced?
How worn is the drivetrain?
Is it definitely the seller's to sell?
The buyer prices in the doubt — and offers less.

Care that counts when you sell.

Every entry shows who recorded it. Work done by a TrustABike Partner is marked verified. Anything you add yourself is clearly labelled as owner-added, so the record stays honest.

The standard

One standard. One grade. No surprises.

Frame, drivetrain, brakes, wheels, suspension and electronics — a multi-point inspection, tailored to road, gravel, MTB or e-bike. Every certificate and Passport re-certification uses the same checklist for that bike type, whether an accredited workshop or the selling dealer carries it out.

Independently inspected or dealer certified? →

A

Like new

Like new. No cosmetic or mechanical issues — every check passed.

B

Light wear

Light wear for its age. Fully functional, nothing outstanding.

C

Rideable and safe

Rideable and safe, but may need minor servicing soon.

D

Failed a safety check

Failed a safety check. Not listed until it's repaired.
