Tips to boost your listing

Ideas for your description

• Bike type (city, hybrid, road, gravel, e-bike…)
• Recommended rider height, your height (or frame size)
• Overall condition (new, good condition, regularly maintained…)
• Included equipment (lock, basket, helmet, child seat…)
• Rental conditions (deposit, pickup times, minimum duration…)
• Ride ideas in your region
• Your listing is ideal for… (travel, daily commuting, racing, etc.)

Formatting tips

Make it easy to read:

• Headings (H1, H2) to structure your description
• Bold text to highlight key information
• Bullet points for lists (more readable than large text blocks)

1 - Clean and prepare your bike

Take 5 minutes to clean it, adjust the saddle, inflate the tires, and remove clutter (empty panniers, wrapped locks…).

2 - Use natural light

Shoot outdoors during the day, ideally in the late afternoon (soft light). Avoid flash and heavy shadows.

3 - Choose a neutral background

A light wall, a quiet street, a plain background… The bike should be the focus, with no distracting elements.

4 - Multiply angles

Provide at least 3 to 5 photos:

• Full side view for the cover photo
• Close-up of the handlebar or frame
• Wheels, brakes, gears
• Included accessories
• Zoom on a specific area in good condition

5 - Keep it level

Hold your phone straight. A tilted photo looks amateur. Place the bike at eye level for a balanced image.
