Why Replacing Your E-Bike or E-Scooter Battery Doesn’t Have to Cost a Fortune

Discover the Smart, Sustainable Alternative with Cyclecure


The Problem Every Rider Faces

Picture this: You’re commuting to work, running errands, or just enjoying a weekend ride on your e-bike or e-scooter. But after months or years of loyal service, the battery’s not what it used to be. Your range shrinks, performance drops, and suddenly your smooth ride becomes a stressful guessing game: Will I make it home on one charge?

Then comes the sticker shock: replacing your battery could cost €200 to €1,000, depending on the model. If it’s discontinued? Your e-bike or scooter could become unusable—just because of one component.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Thousands of riders across Europe face the same challenge. At Cyclecure, we believe there's a better way—a way that saves money, helps the planet, and keeps your ride alive.


Why Refurbishing Just Makes Sense

āœ… Save Up to 50% Compared to Buying New

Refurbished batteries from Cyclecure typically cost 30–50% less than brand-new ones. But lower cost doesn’t mean lower quality. Our rigorous refurbishment process restores batteries to up to 90% of their original capacity, ensuring you get the performance you need at a fraction of the cost.

Let’s say your current battery costs €600 to replace new. With Cyclecure, you might pay just €300–€400 for a fully refurbished alternative that performs almost like new.

āœ… Eco-Friendly Riding That Really Matters

Each refurbished battery saves 3–5 kg of toxic waste from entering landfills—not to mention the mining and energy use required to make a new battery from scratch.

āœ… No More Obsolete or ā€œEnd-of-Lifeā€ Models

Just because a battery is discontinued doesn’t mean your e-bike should be. Manufacturers may stop producing certain models, but Cyclecure can refurbish and revive discontinued batteries, giving new life to bikes that would otherwise be scrapped.

Whether your ride is vintage, rare, or just out of warranty—we help you keep it on the road, not in the garage.


What Makes Cyclecure Different?

We don’t just patch things up—we completely rebuild, test, and certify every battery. Here's what sets our 4-step refurbishment process apart:

šŸ” 1. Inspection & Sorting

Every battery is thoroughly tested cell by cell. We check for capacity loss, charge imbalances, and safety concerns. Batteries that don’t meet our strict thresholds are either repaired or responsibly recycled.

šŸ”„ 2. Cell Replacement

Weak or faulty cells are removed and replaced with high-quality, grade-A cells. This process restores your battery’s capacity and ensures balanced, long-lasting performance.

šŸ”§ 3. Rebuild & Reconfigure

We go beyond basic repairs. We upgrade the Battery Management System (BMS) to improve safety, efficiency, and battery lifespan. We also install fire-resistant casings, modern connectors, and hardware that meets or exceeds current industry standards.

āœ… 4. Certification & Warranty

Every refurbished battery is tested for output, thermal performance, and stability. Only once it passes our final inspection does it receive a 12-month warranty, giving you peace of mind and performance you can trust.

Who Needs Refurbished Batteries?

You don’t need to manage a fleet to benefit from refurbished batteries. We designed our service to help everyday riders like you:

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’¼ Daily Commuters

Heavy usage of your E-Bike or E-Scooter leads to quicker wear and tear of the battery. Keep your ride reliable and ready—without paying a premium every year or two. Opt for a Refurbished battery!

šŸŽ“ Students on a Budget

Don’t let the hefty cost of a new battery break your budget. Get high-quality batteries that perform almost as good as new – at 30-50% lower prices

🌱 Eco-Conscious Riders

Defective batteries often still have multiple good cells that are fully-functional. We intend to repurpose these good cells into new, operational batteries that we call "Refurbished". Help us contribute to circularity and prevent e-waste by refurbishing your battery. 

🚲 E-bike & E-scooter Enthusiasts

Own a rare or customized ride? Don’t retire it just because the battery’s out of date—we’ll bring it back to life, even if the battery is officially discontinued.
