Why You Should Consider Trading in Your Old Bike with Mighty Velo for a New Folding Bike

Do you have an old bike sitting in your apartment, collecting dust? Maybe it’s seen better days, or perhaps it just doesn’t fit your cycling needs anymore. At Mighty Velo, we offer a bike trade-in program that makes it easy to give your old bike a second life while upgrading to a high-performance folding bike. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, here are several reasons why you should consider trading in your old bike for a brand-new folding bike—and how you’ll benefit.

1. Get a Large Discount on a New Folding Bike

One of the most compelling reasons to trade in your old bike is the significant discount you’ll receive on a new high-performing folding bike. Rather than simply selling or discarding your bike, you can use its value to reduce the cost of your next purchase. Think of it as "getting back" much of the money you initially spent on your old bike—only this time, you’re putting it toward an upgrade that offers new features, better performance, and more versatility. Many of the bikes sold at Mighty Velo are on the costlier side due to their high-end nature, but the trade-in program goes a long way towards making them affordable.

When you trade in your bike with Mighty Velo, we make sure you get good value for your old ride, turning that bike into a sizeable credit toward a new folding bike. This is especially useful if you’ve been eyeing a higher-end model but have been hesitating due to the price. The trade-in discount can make that premium folding bike much more affordable. Plus, it retroactively means that in a way, you’ve gotten mileage out of your old bike by paying just a fraction of its retail price!  

2. Upgrade to a New Bike That Fits Your Current Needs

As much as we might love our old bikes, the reality is that our needs change over time. What suited your lifestyle a few years ago may not be the best option for you now, or may just be plain outdated or too worn down to perform well. Upgrading to a new folding bike offers you the chance to get a modern bike that’s tailored to your current riding habits and features modern performance and functionality.

Our folding bikes offer unmatched versatility and quality performance. For example, Birdy bikes have advanced features like full front and rear suspension and a sleek monocoque frame, along with top-of-the-line components, such as the Rohloff’s internal gear hub or the JK11 Ace’s Shimano Ace derailleur. They’re likely to be a substantial improvement over your old bike, and might even reignite your love for cycling, giving you the motivation to ride more often and explore new places.

3. Free Up Space at Home

If you’re like most cyclists, you’ve probably experienced the space issues that come with storing a bike. Bikes, especially non-folding bikes, can be bulky, and if you don’t have a dedicated storage space, they can quickly become a nuisance. Even if you do have a dedicated storage space, it can be a hassle to take your bike out when you want to go for a ride.

So instead of having to find even more storage space should you buy an additional bicycle, why not just trade in your old bike for a new folding bike? Not only do you upgrade your ride, you’re at the very least not taking up more space, and quite possibly freeing up space due to how compact our folding bikes are. A Birdy can be easily stored in a closet or under a desk when not in use, making it perfect for living in apartments or condos. 

So there’s no need to worry about tripping over your old bike in the hallway, or figuring out how to fit an extra bike into your living space. With our trade-in program, you’ll enjoy both an upgraded ride and more breathing room at home.

4. Give Your Old Bike a Second Life

Letting go of an old bike can be difficult, especially if you’ve had it for years. Whether it’s been with you on memorable rides or holds sentimental value, parting with it can feel like saying goodbye to an old friend. But trading in your bike to us ensures that it won’t go to waste.

Rather than throwing away your old bike, we’ll be sure to take good care of it. We’ll touch it up, sell it to a new owner, and give it a second life. Someone else will be able to enjoy it as much as you did, ensuring your bike doesn’t just go to waste. In this way, you’re not simply parting with an old possession—you’re simply passing it on to help someone else discover it, while your bike continues its story.

5. Contribute to Sustainability

Cycling is already one of the most environmentally friendly forms of transportation, but by trading in your old bike, you’re taking your contribution to sustainability even further. Every bike that gets a second life is one less bike that ends up as waste.

At Mighty Velo, we’re committed to sustainability, and part of that commitment is by ensuring pre-loved bikes  find a new owner rather than being thrown away. By choosing to trade in your old bike, you’re helping to reduce the demand for new materials and minimizing your carbon footprint. Plus, by upgrading to a new folding bike, you’re likely to cycle more often, reducing your reliance on cars and other modes of transport that contribute to pollution.

An Important Note

Just like how not every bike component is compatible with every bike, not every promotion is stackable! It's important to take note that our trade-in program is NOT stackable with other promotions and discounts at our store or on online platforms.

That means that you can't trade in your bike to get a favorable price ON TOP of discounts from Lazada, ongoing store promotions, or any other sources of discounts! You can only trade in your bike for a discount off the FULL retail price of the Birdy bike or Reach you're trading in for.

Conclusion: Ready to Trade In?

If you’re looking to upgrade your cycling experience, trading in your old bike at Mighty Velo is the perfect solution. You’ll get a generous discount on a new folding bike, enjoy a big upgrade on your ride, and free up space at home—all while giving your old bike a new lease on life. Plus, you’ll be contributing to sustainability by making sure your bike is reused rather than discarded. So why wait?
