Buy a bike.
Not a story.
Every seller on TrustedCycles is ID-verified and background-checked before their listing goes live. The fake titles, the deposit scams, the "I'm overseas, my cousin will deliver it" — none of it gets in.
What we do
We verify the seller,
then we verify them again.
CycleTrader connects buyers to anyone with an email address. We don't. Listing on TrustedCycles requires a government ID, a live selfie match, and consent to a background screen. The verification badge on every listing is a person, not a logo. If a seller wouldn't pass screening at a dealership, they don't sell here.
The process
Three steps. No shortcuts.
Government ID
Front, back, and a live selfie. Matched in minutes by our review team.
Background screen
We screen for prior fraud, identity-theft history, and stolen-vehicle activity.
Verified to list
Only verified sellers can post a listing. The badge appears on every photo.
What we don't allow
The scams that flooded the old marketplaces stop at our front door.
- Sellers who refuse to show ID or meet in person
- Wire-transfer-only deals and gift-card payments
- Title-skipping and curbstoning resellers
- Listings posted by accounts created hours earlier
- Photos lifted from other sites or other listings
- "I'm shipping it from out of state, just send the deposit"
