A second life for electric bikes in France
Why give an electric bike a second life ?
We often talk about a “second life” when discussing refurbished electric bikes. In reality, the issue is more profound : preventing a perfectly functional bike from ending up unused when it can still offer several years of service.
How does Ultima handle this ?
At Ultima Mobility, we believe in the circular economy and regularly offer refurbished electric bikes. These bikes, used at trade shows, for internal testing, or for research and development, are carefully refurbished to give these high-end models a second life. Choosing a refurbished electric bike is not only a way to help the planet, but also to access quality models at an attractive price.
For you, this means :
- A premium e-bike,
- refurbished by the very people who designed them,
- at a lower price,
And, without compromising on the performance of your electric bike.
Ultima-style refurbished bikes : transparency, rigor, and high standards
A complete technical inspection before refurbishment
A refurbished electric bike can be an excellent choice, provided you know exactly what has been refurbished.
That's why, at Ultima, our refurbished electric bikes undergo a meticulous inspection and a rigorous refurbishment process (technological checks, software updates, pedaling tests...). We ensure that every component is checked, overhauled, and even replaced if the slightest variation is detected, to guarantee optimal performance (battery check, frame, mounting, integrity, brakes, wheels...).
A nearly new e-bike at a refurbished price
You get a high-performance bike, close to new, while making significant savings. This offer is perfect for those who want to enjoy the benefits of an electric bike without investing in a new model

The difference between a used and a refurbished e-bike
Used bike vs. refurbished bike : two distinct approaches
If you're hesitating between a used and a refurbished e-bike, there is a fundamental difference between the two. Because yes, "used" and "refurbished" are often confused, even though they are two completely different approaches, although closely related.
Why a refurbished e-bike offers more safety than a used one
In short, a used e-bike is simply resold as is, often without a thorough inspection or clear history. In other words, you buy what you see and sometimes what you don't see.
A refurbished electric bike, on the other hand, is fully inspected, restored to like-new condition, and made safe. It's a bike that has been re-tested by experts who know it best, offering a level of reliability superior to that of a standard used e-bike. It benefits from the same level of support as a new electric bike (safety, range, reliability, delivery).
In short, a used bike is a gamble, while a refurbished bike is a guarantee !
Who are refurbished electric bikes really for ?
An ideal choice for people committed to sustainable consumption.
A refurbished electric bike isn't a "low-cost" solution as one might imagine. It's a smart option suited to a wide range of users :
- Those who want access to a high-end electric bike without paying the price of a new one
- People conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases
- New cyclists who want to experience riding an automatic electric bike without a large initial investment
Ultimately, it's the choice for those who prioritize quality and durability over overconsumption.
An eco-friendly and, above all, logical approach
Reduce your carbon footprint with refurbished bikes
Choosing a refurbished electric bike isn't just about helping the planet. It's about adopting a more responsible approach to consumption, or in other words, participating in an eco-responsible initiative.
By choosing a refurbished electric bike, you are choosing to :
- Reduce your carbon footprint by limiting the production of new models
- Limit the production of new components (frames, batteries, etc.)
- Support a local circular economy
In other words, you are committing to more sustainable and responsible consumption, in line with Ultima Mobility's values. A simple way to ride without increasing production.

Limited opportunities, but still interesting
Find the refurbished electric bike that's right for you !

That's why we regularly update our selection of refurbished electric bikes. If you're looking for a high-performance and environmentally friendly model, check out our dedicated refurbished bike page. You'll find great deals on bikes tested and approved by our team.
