Sell or trade up
Sell your recumbent trike. We do the work.
Maybe you're moving up to a new trike. Maybe this one just isn't getting ridden. Either way, you don't have to deal with listings, buyer calls and strangers in your driveway.
Laid Back Cycles in Sacramento sells it for you on consignment. You get paid after it sells.
HOW IT WORKS
Tell us what you have.
Fill out the short form, then check your email for how to send a few photos. Not sure of the model? That's fine.
We look it over together.
I'll give you a realistic selling range and go over any costs with you in writing first. Not local? We can help set up pickup.
We sell it. You get paid.
We get it ready, list it and handle the buyers. When it sells, you get your share.
Which trikes do we take?
We're especially looking for newer electric-assist trikes, but tell me what you've got. Every trike gets looked at one by one.
Please don't ship or drop off your trike until we've said yes in writing and sent you instructions.
Would you rather just sell it to us? Sometimes we'll buy a trike outright after we look at it. That's a separate offer, case by case, and it isn't guaranteed.
Start here
Tell us about your trike
One form per trike. Only your name, email and a few words about the trike are required.
Your share after it sells is 65% of net proceeds if you're upgrading to a new trike through us, or 55% if you're only selling. Net means after the costs we agree on up front. There's an example in the questions below.
Rather talk first? Call the shop at 916-668-8766.
Sending this form starts a conversation. It isn't a sale or a promise either way. We'll only use your details to talk with you about your trike, and it won't sign you up for emails. Please leave out payment details and ID. Privacy policy
Questions about selling your trike
First, the costs we agreed on in writing come off the sale price, once. Things like pickup, a tune-up, parts or selling fees. Then we split what's left.
Upgrading through us, you get 65%. Selling only, you get 55%.
Here's an example, not an appraisal. A trike sells for $8,000 and the agreed costs are $1,000. That leaves $7,000. If you're upgrading, you get $4,550. If you're only selling, you get $3,850.
Sales tax and shipping the buyer pays aren't part of the sale price. Your written agreement spells out when you're paid.
Laid Back Cycles in Sacramento, California sells used recumbent trikes on consignment. Fill out the short form, send a few photos, and we'll tell you if it's a fit.
Not for instant credit. We sell your trike on consignment, and once it sells you can put your share toward your next one. Sometimes we'll buy a trike outright instead, case by case.
I'm sorry for your loss. You don't need to know anything technical. Put what you know in the form and send a few photos, and we'll help figure out what it is. Before we sell it, we'll confirm who can act for the owner.
Tell me about the trike you have and what you want next. Upgrade through us and your share goes up to 65%. That money is there once your old trike sells. Want help picking the next one? Grab a time with me for a free Dream Trike Session.
After your trike actually sells. The timing is in your written agreement.
Start with the form and photos. If it's a fit, we can help set up pickup with a freight carrier. We'll confirm the cost and the battery shipping rules with you before booking. That cost comes out before the split.
Before you sign, your agreement covers how long it's listed, who approves a price drop, and what happens if you take it back, including return shipping. We can't promise a price or a sale date.
Yes. We check every trike before it's listed and write down any known issues. If a trike comes with any coverage, it'll be in writing with that listing.
