Our verdict on each

buymoreway

BuyMoreWay is a direct retailer covering commuter, city, step-through, folding, fat-tire and cargo e-bikes, so it suits households shopping several body types at once. The entry price of €599 sits below the site's typical €876.09, with a money-back period of 30 days to judge the ride.

Upway

Upway suits riders who want a wide choice of bikes at a mid-range entry price with a warranty attached to used stock. Its 300 brands, 12 months used-bike warranty and 80% minimum battery health set it apart from the retailers nearby, though return shipping of €69 to €119 is the catch.

Pros and cons

buymoreway

Pros

  • Entry at €599 is below the site's typical starting price of €876.09, and the top of the range is €2,199.
  • Batteries reach 786 Wh against a claimed range of 350 km, and the battery is removable on the range.
  • The catalogue spans commuter, city, step-through, folding, fat-tire and cargo, wider than Tern at cargo, commuter and folding and HK Beirui Trade Co. at commuter, folding and fat tire.

Cons

  • Support runs on email only, so a sizing question or a fault report has to travel in writing.
  • Return shipping is charged at €200, a sizeable cost against an entry bike priced at €599.
  • Repairs go through partner workshops rather than an in-house bench, and refurbished stock is not offered.

Upway

Pros

  • Refurbished bikes are sold with a 12 months warranty, the longest of the shops ranked on that measure.
  • Used batteries are guaranteed to at least 80% health.
  • A catalogue of 300 brands covers city, emtb, cargo, road and folding bikes, so a rider is not tied to one maker.

Cons

  • Return shipping is charged at €69 to €119, so a change of mind is not free.
  • The 14 days money-back period is shorter than most of the shops ranked on it, placing Upway sixth.
  • Servicing runs through a partner network of 500 points rather than in-house, so a job may mean a third party.

Who each suits

buymoreway

Who it suits

  • Riders buying for a household with mixed needs, since commuter, folding, fat-tire and cargo all sit in one range, wider than the Tern mix at cargo, commuter and folding.
  • Buyers in the UK and EU who can live with written support and a charge for return shipping.
  • Shoppers who want a removable battery and instalment finance without visiting a workshop.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone set on a single-brand cargo or folding bike, since Tern at cargo, commuter and folding builds its own rather than reselling several formats.
  • Riders who want a phone line or live chat, because support runs on email only.
  • Buyers after an e-mtb or a hybrid: Kalkhoff at city, hybrid and step through covers trail-capable formats, while the BuyMoreWay range is commuter, city and step through.

Upway

Who it suits

  • Commuters who want a mid-range price and a warranty on a used bike rather than a brand new one.
  • Riders who want several makers to choose from, with city, emtb, cargo, road and folding categories in one place.
  • Anyone who will trade a bike in or spread the cost, since trade in and finance are both offered.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers who want free returns, since return shipping runs €69 to €119 and a retailer such as BikeBerry charges nothing for it.
  • Buyers who need a longer money-back window, as the 14 days period trails the field.
  • Riders who prefer in-house servicing rather than a partner network of 500 points.

Questions about each

buymoreway

What does a bike cost at the entry point and at the top of the range?+

The range opens with the entry ENGWE at €599 and closes at €2,199. Both figures cover the bike itself, sold direct by a retailer rather than through a dealer network, so the outlay at the door is the whole figure. Treat the entry point as the floor for the catalogue rather than the price of a typical bike within it.

Can I spread the cost rather than paying in one go?+

Finance is offered as an instalment payment option, so a bike at €599 can be paid down over a period rather than in a single transfer. Nothing in the arrangement is a membership: the instalments settle the purchase price, and there is no renewal to cancel once the last payment clears.

Upway

Does Upway sell new bikes as well as refurbished ones?+

Yes. Upway is set up as a refurbished shop, and refurbished bikes carry a 12 months warranty with batteries guaranteed to at least 80% health. Buyers can also trade a bike in or spread the payment with finance, and the 14 days money-back period gives time to ride before deciding.

What does it cost to return a bike?+

Return shipping is charged at €69 to €119, which is the main cost of changing your mind. That is a real addition to the purchase price, and it is one of the weaker points for Upway against a retailer such as BikeBerry that does not charge for returns. The 14 days money-back period still applies on top of it.
