  Halfords 20% off bikes/scooters via trade-in

  In stores & online. Get up to £320 off a new bike

  Good news if you're in the market for a new bicycle or scooter, or your kids have outgrown theirs. At the moment there's a Halfords' trade-in scheme* where you can get 20% off a new bike or scooter (or helmet) when you trade in an old bicycle or scooter until 11.59pm on Mon 14 Oct.
  
  How to do it
  
  Take your unwanted item of any brand or retailer to a Halfords store (find your nearest*) to get the discount, or use the code TRADEIN20 when purchasing online and complete your trade-in at a store within 14 days.
  
  When buying your new model, you can opt for click & collect, in-store purchase or home delivery. Whichever method you choose, you'll still need to bring your old scooter or bike into a Halfords store to trade in. With click & collect, customers can pick up from a Cycle Republic store rather than Halfords if that’s easier.

  

  What bikes/scooters can I use the discount on?

  The 20% can be used on anything in the range except electric bikes, electric scooters and Bromptons. The most expensive non-electric bike stocked is £1,600, which means you could make a saving of £320. On the lower end of the scale, the kids' Apollo Honeybee bicycle with stabilisers can be had for £52 (norm £65).
  
  What can I trade in? And does it have to be in good condition?
  
  You don't have to trade like for like - you're welcome to bring in an old scooter and get 20% off a new bike. However, your trade-in vehicle must be in reasonable condition. Bent or cracked frames or missing wheels are a no-no, and there can't be more than 25% rust. You can only get the discount on a single bike/scooter, but if you’ve more than one item to trade in you can do this in multiple transactions and get the discount each time.
  
  It's worth noting Halfords offers a free bike check year round, so you can keep your set of wheels in good nick.
  
  

  MSE LAURA F says:

  Last time Halfords ran this offer, helmets could be traded in too, which meant you could trade in a cheap second-hand helmet and claim a discount worth many times more than the helmet itself. Unfortunately that's not the case this time, but you can still squeeze extra value out of this if you can find a suitably low-cost scooter to bring in. Just be sure the amount you spend on the scooter is less than the discount you'll get off your chosen new model of scooter or bike.

  Though of course, this trade-in deal is only worth taking up if you planned on buying a new scooter or bike anyway.
  

  • More info

    The bike/scooter you're trading in must belong to you or you must have formal permission from the owner.

    Halfords will forfeit the discount if the trade-in is not completed within 14 days of the purchase.

    Can’t be used with any other offer, including Colleague Discount and British Cycling.
