- The battery is the most important factor after 5 years
- The paint job, mileage, and maintenance history determine the final selling price
Depreciation of an e-bike: how does it work?
Let’s be honest: just like cars, electric bikes lose value quickly. Their value starts to drop as soon as you ride them for the first time. In the first year alone, an e-bike loses an average of 30% to 35% of its original value. After two years, depreciation reaches about 45% to 50%.
Tenways falls into the category of innovative and affordable brands. Since the purchase price (often around €1,599 for a CGO600 or €1,899 for a CGO800S) is significantly lower than that of high-end brands, the absolute loss in euros remains more limited. Let’s take a look at the three main stages of your Tenways’ life cycle.
The value of your Tenways after 3 years
Three years is often the ideal time to sell or trade in an e-bike. Generally speaking, an e-bike is still worth about 40% to 48% of its new price new three years, depending on its condition, how well it’s been maintained, and the state of its battery.
Let’s take an example: if you bought a CGO600 for €1,599, its value after three years will be between €600 and €750. For a CGO800S purchased for around €1,899, the price on the used market will likely be between €750 and €900. Popular city bikes with a good reputation generally hold their value well, especially if they are in good condition.
The value of your Tenways after 5 years
Starting at 4 to 5 years, the battery becomes the deciding factor. An e-bike battery loses a significant portion of its capacity over time. Tenways states that its batteries retain approximately 60% of their capacity after 500 full charge cycles.
There is a key difference between Tenways models. On the original CGO600, the battery is built into the frame and cannot be removed. Models such as the CGO800S and the CGO600 Pro feature a removable battery, which is much more appealing to second-hand buyers.
A major advantage: while a new battery often costs more than €500 with other brands, Tenways offers replacement batteries for less than €200. If you can demonstrate this to a buyer, it makes your 5-year-old bike much more attractive and helps maintain its resale value.
The value of your Tenways after 7 years (and more)
After seven years, an e-bike enters its final phase. If your bike has covered more than 10,000 or even 20,000 km, buyers will anticipate significant costs related to wear and tear (axles, electronics), which will drive the price down. Older or heavily used e-bikes are often worth very little: the price then depends entirely on the buyer.
Another factor is the fear of repair issues. Some communities warn against proprietary components: if the brand goes out of business or stops supplying parts, the bike could become unusable. Although Tenways is reliable, its software, integrated displays, and Mivice motors may give some buyers cause for concern after seven years.
Fortunately, Tenways also uses durable components such as the Gates Carbon Drive belt drive and hydraulic brakes, which are known for their durability and low-maintenance design.
What factors have the greatest influence on value?
Age isn't the only factor. The final price depends on supply, demand, and the bike's condition. Here are the key factors:
1. Cosmetic condition (check the paint!)
Appearance says a lot about the bike’s condition. A clean, undamaged frame increases its value. On Tenways bikes, the paint on the CGO600 is sometimes considered fragile (especially around the mounting points). A flawless frame is clearly worth more.
2. Mileage
Just like with a car, mileage is crucial:
- Less than 5,000 km: excellent condition, significantly increases the value
- Between 3,000 and 7,000 km: in good condition with normal wear and tear
- Over 10,000 km: prices falling due to future costs
3. Battery type and battery life
A bike with a removable battery (CGO800S, CGO600 Pro) sells better than a model with a fixed battery. The CGO600 Pro also offers a longer range (360 Wh, approximately 100 km) compared to 250 Wh (70 km max) for the CGO600. Longer range = greater value.
Tip: Have your battery checked by a professional before selling it.
4. Maintenance history
Regular maintenance increases the value. Keep your receipts! For example:
- bleed the rear brakes
- ergonomic adjustments (stem, etc.)
This reassures buyers.
Trade-in or direct sale?
You can either trade in your bike at a dealer or sell it yourself.
Reselling is simpler but less profitable, since the seller has to make a profit margin. Selling directly (through Marktplaats or Upway) requires more effort (photos, test drives), but generally yields a higher return.
Conclusion
Thanks to its attractive price, modern design, and durable belt drive, a Tenways remains highly sought after. Even after three years, you can still expect to get 40% to 48% of the new price. By keeping the paint in good condition, documenting the battery’s condition, and keeping records of maintenance, you’ll maximize your selling price.
