We are cyclists, it's our passion and also our job

Everyone who makes Tuvalum every day has
the goal of helping you discover the bike that will take you to your
next big challenge.

Our story is simple

Our story is simple. We couldn't find any 100% safe website to buy and sell second-hand bikes, so we decided to create one. The vision was born in 2014, when we spoke with more than 300 cyclists and triathletes who had bought or sold a used bike online and discovered that most of them had bad experiences and had been scammed. So from the beginning, it was clear to us that the goal should be to build a 100% transparent, comfortable, and safe buying and selling system based on providing the best possible customer experience.

We like to say that at Tuvalum we don't sell bikes, we sell trust because our goal is not for you to just buy a bike, but to buy the bike you really need for your habits, goals, and sporting challenges.

Today we are leaders in Europe

Today we are leaders in Europe thanks to our unique value proposition, selling in more than 15 European countries. We are the leader in buying and selling certified refurbished mountain, road, gravel and e-bikes from the top brands, with more than 10 years of experience and over 20,000 satisfied customers.

Our bikes are reviewed and certified by specialist mechanics, so we offer a 1-year warranty on any of our refurbished bikes. We are proud to say that we have the largest and most carefully maintained in-house stock in Spain. Each bike has undergone a rigorous certification process, and that's why we offer you up to 30 days for returns, because we are sure that what we deliver meets your expectations.

We have helped thousands of cyclists buy and sell their bikes, promoting healthy lifestyle habits and a circular economy that extends the useful life of bicycles, saving the environmental costs involved in the production, distribution, and transportation of a new bike.

Tuvalum is a sustainable and environmentally responsible company.

This is our team

Offering a close relationship and personalized advice is part of our DNA and will continue to be so.

Listening to cyclists to keep learning

The company has evolved over the years thanks to constantly listening to cyclists like you. At first, we were a Marketplace where individuals and professionals sold their bicycles and Tuvalum was the security layer that managed the whole process: from payment and collection, to logistics and certification of the bicycle thanks to a partner workshop. But, by listening to customers like you, we realized that this system had many inefficiencies because a seller could have sold the bicycle through another channel and forgotten to remove the ad. Or a bicycle, owned by a seller, could arrive in very poor condition. All this caused frustration for the buyer, but also for the seller and made the process complex and full of friction. Additionally, each ad was generated by a third-party seller and the ads sometimes had photos that lowered our quality standards and the descriptions might not be 100% accurate.

So, we decided to reinvent ourselves and sell only bicycles owned by Tuvalum. Each listed bicycle has passed the highest quality standards for new bicycles and meets the Tuvalum Certified seal, synonymous with guarantee and quality. Each listed bicycle has catalog photos and video and contains a correct and accurate description. If you are interested in selling a bicycle, we are able to appraise and purchase the bicycle in less than 48 hours and we offer a trade-in plan and buyback guarantee. The Trade-in Plan means you can trade in your bicycle as part of the payment for a new one at Tuvalum and, the buyback guarantee, that Tuvalum commits to buy your bicycle within 18 months so you can buy another one. In this way, we continue and will always continue to innovate.

What route will we follow?

We are very motivated by the future and to continue transforming the bicycle market through our innovative 100% digital model and a unique customer experience. We are a website, but close contact and advice are part of our DNA and will continue to be so.

We are excited to advise thousands of cyclists, help hundreds of small local shops sell their bicycles throughout Europe, and assist in the digitalization of brands and manufacturers. Cycling is not just our job, it is also our passion.
