Bikes have long symbolized sustainable transportation. But did you know refurbished bikes take that even further? In a world where sustainability is no longer optional, refurbished bikes are becoming the unsung heroes of the circular economy.

Refurbished = reuse at its best

While recycling usually involves breaking down a product into raw materials, refurbishing preserves the value of the whole. A bike gets a second life without being dismantled entirely. By restoring or replacing parts, the bike’s entire life cycle is extended—saving tons of CO₂ in the process.

Less waste, more impact

Every refurbished bike means one less new bike needs to be produced. That saves not only raw materials like aluminum and lithium, but also water, energy, and transport emissions. Did you know that producing a new e-bike generates roughly 150 kg of CO₂? Choosing refurbished avoids all of that! 🥰

Mobility with a story

Refurbished bikes have character. They don’t roll straight off the assembly line—and that’s exactly their charm. By choosing a bike with a past, you help shape a future that’s more mindful of the resources we already have. And that’s something to be proud of.

Closing the loop with bike leasing

Circularity only works when there’s an easy system to keep refurbished bikes moving. Employer-based leasing—via Joule, of course—is a perfect fit. Employees get access to quality bikes, companies show their sustainability commitment, and partners like Upway and E-bis ensure professional refurbishment and reliable service.

Smart for you, smart for the planet

Circularity can sound like a buzzword, but refurbished bikes make it concrete. They prove that comfort, style, and sustainability can go hand in hand—without sacrificing performance or ease of use.

💡 Did you know? A car emits up to 149 grams of CO₂ per passenger kilometer, an e-bike just 3 grams, and a classic bike—none at all. That’s what we call impact.

The future is circular (and electric)

By choosing a refurbished bike, you're contributing to a cleaner mobility system and a healthier planet. Together with partners like Upway and E-bis, Joule is building a future where sustainability, quality, and ease of use go hand in hand—for both businesses and employees.
