Ready to upgrade to your dream bike? Our trade-in program makes it easy to get the best value for your current bike and move into a new bike from brands like Cervélo, Factor, 3T, Look, and more.
How It Works
- Contact Us: Fill out the form on the next page with details about your current bike (brand, model, year, condition, components).
- Get a Quote: We'll evaluate your bike and provide a fair trade-in value based on current market conditions and contact you with a trade-in value for your bike (please allow 7 to 10 days for response).
-
Choose Your Upgrade: Browse our selection of premium road, triathlon, and gravel bikes.
-
Complete the Trade: Apply your trade-in value toward your new bike purchase, and pricing is as follows:
Price of new bike - Trade-In + $100 for build, pack and shipping = Your price + taxes.
(ex. $5,000 new bike - $2,000 trade in + $100 shipping = $3,100 plus taxes if applicable)
- Ship: Pulse receives your bike and then ships your new bike to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine trade-in value?
We evaluate your bike based on brand, model, year, condition, component group, and current market demand. We provide fair, honest valuations based on what we can realistically resell the bike for.
Do I need to bring my bike in person?
You can email us photos and details first to get a preliminary quote. For final valuation, we prefer to inspect the bike in person at our La Mesa location.
What condition does my bike need to be in?
We accept bikes in good working condition. Minor wear is expected, but the frame should be free of cracks or major damage, and components should be functional.
Can I trade in a bike I didn't buy from you?
Absolutely! We accept trade-ins on bikes from any retailer.
How long is my trade-in quote valid?
Trade-in quotes are typically valid for 30 days, subject to the bike's condition remaining the same and market conditions.
Can I trade multiple bikes?
Yes! If you have multiple bikes to trade, we can provide valuations for each and combine the total toward your new bike purchase.
What brands do you accept?
We primarily accept premium road, triathlon, and gravel bikes from brands like Cervélo, Specialized, Trek, Canyon, Pinarello, Colnago, BMC, Scott, Giant, and other manufacturers.
Do you buy bikes outright without a trade?
Our program is primarily designed for trade-ins toward new bike purchases. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
