Our mission is to create the UK’s most trusted second-hand bike network by connecting riders, independent bike shops, charities, community groups, and verified sellers through one platform. By bringing the cycling community together, we can make bikes more accessible, more affordable, and more sustainable for everyone.
Shifta’s here to improve the way people buy and sell bikes online.
Weldtite in the house!!
Official partner of the Shifta platform
We are proper chuffed to team up with Weldtite, one of the most trusted names in bike care. These guys have been around since the second world war, providing innertubes to the poor souls on the front line riding into battle on a bike. We have always used weldtite products in our workshops and I cant tell you how great full I am for the opportunity to work with them.
Who is Shifta?
Everything you need to know about the Shifta team.
We’re just a group of mates with a mission to build a better way to buy and sell bikes online. I kicked things off, leading the charge with a clear vision. Soon after, Dom and Fen jumped in to help bring it to life. The platform has grown quicker than we expected and Dan joined the team in February. Bit by bit, we’re shaping a smarter marketplace, one that puts trust first.
I wanted a new challenge.
We are building a network of trusted verified sellers. Setting a listing standard that ensures buyers know what they are getting. Trusted sellers = Buyer confidence
Firstly, verified sellers are the backbone of the platform. A Verified Seller is someone we’ve personally checked and officially approved. In most cases, it’s a trusted bike shop or a skilled mechanic who meets our clear set of standards.
Yes, everyone’s welcome, as long as you keep it honest. That means uploading clear photos, setting fair prices, and turning up when you say you will. In return, you’ll earn rewards, build trust, and make the platform better for everyone.
We’re UK (mainland) based and open to everyone.
Shifta Rewards
GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
Over the years we’ve given 100’s of bikes back to the community in various ways. In addition to the many we’ve give to schools organisations and good causes, we run fun and interactive competitions to engage with our audience. Usually through social media.
Furthermore we wanted a fun way to interact with you and encourage you to use the platform. The plan was never to sell prize draw tickets but we wanted to keep the marketplace fees to a minimum and are selling tickets to cover these costs.
Buying tickets increases your chances and also supports the marketplace.
In a nutshell
“Verified sellers are setting the standard. Because of them, the platform stays safe, fair, and built on trust. On top of that, we’ve added rewards, so whether you’re buying, selling, or sharing, you’re always earning something back.
So I conclude, Shifta isn’t just a marketplace, it’s a community worth being part of. Furthermore its free to list and only 1.7% fees on completed sales. On top that if you’d like to get in on the inside info ,hit the community button in the corner”.
