Increase your sales of mountain bikes and road bikes without investing in ecommerce
If you have a cycling shop and want to boost your sales, the Internet can become your best ally. Selling online allows you to reach thousands of customers interested in mountain bikes and road bikes, no matter where they are. However, getting an online store noticed is not easy. While a physical business gets visits from people passing by on the street, on the Internet you need to invest in digital advertising, SEO, social media, and web development to attract customers. All of this can require a great deal of time and money.
At Tuvalum we have designed an exclusive program for small cycling shops, helping you to sell throughout Europe without the need to manage your own ecommerce or invest in advertising or logistics. With Tuvalum, you can sell your mountain bikes and road bikes in more than 15 countries using only your mobile phone.
How does Tuvalum work for cycling shops?

✅ We connect your catalog with thousands of cyclists in Europe who search for and compare road bikes and MTB on Tuvalum.

And best of all: it's completely free for you . You don't pay commissions for publishing your ads or for selling your bikes. The buyer assumes the cost of the service.

Advantages of selling on Tuvalum
Our program for stores is designed so you can sell easily, comfortably, and quickly without wasting time or money. Your business is not IT, ecommerce, or digital marketing. We do that for you so you can focus on what really matters: your customers. We are your online store, your sales channel on the Internet.
You save costs
You don't need to set up your own online store. Maintaining an ecommerce and attracting customers online requires effort, time, and above all, money. By selling on Tuvalum you save costs on hosting, SEO, design, payment gateways, etc. Tuvalum offers you for free resources that would cost you a lot of money. You also don't need to invest in advertising, because we already do that for you. We promote your products on Google, email, social networks, commercial channels, etc.
You sell throughout Europe from your mobile phone
Tuvalum provides you with a showcase for your products all over Europe. More than 300,000 cyclists and triathletes visit Tuvalum every month to search, compare, and buy quality bikes and components like the ones you sell. And that number grows month by month. With Tuvalum you can sell your bikes in more than 15 countries of the European Union without having to speak English, French, or German and without leaving your store counter. In addition, we manage the pickup and shipping of your sales from your store to the customer's home. With your mobile phone you upload your catalog, manage notifications, and we take care of the hard work to help you sell online.

What sets us apart from other second-hand websites and apps?
There are many second-hand websites and apps. But Tuvalum is the first channel 100% specialized in cycling that offers you a complete service for all the steps needed to sell: publishing your products, customer service, payment collection, and the logistics and shipping of the products. You sell bicycles and we offer them to cyclists looking for bikes, not to those looking for a washing machine, a lamp, or a sofa. Whoever comes to Tuvalum is looking for a bike, a frame, or some wheels. On other sites, your products coexist with refrigerators and office desks. Our main difference is sales effectiveness. On other second-hand websites and apps, you simply post your ad and from there you're on your own. They just connect possible sellers with possible buyers, but they don't guarantee the transaction. Our mission is for the ads that are posted to be sold, which is why we provide you with a secure payment system, a pick-up and shipping service, and we protect you against attempted fraud. Also, we don't charge you to post your ads or to position them within the catalog. If you sell, we win.
