Kids Trade Up Program

Kids may grow incredibly fast, but don't let their growth spurts interfere with a budding love of biking! A too-small frame, while incredibly uncomfortable, can also cause safety issues; however, upgrading frequently can be pricey. The Trek Trade-Up program addresses both sides of the coin--we subsidize the cost of bigger bikes as your child needs them, so your young one can always ride the perfect size.

How it Works

The Trade-Up program is easy! Simply purchase a new Trek kid's bike (12" or larger) from Towpath Bike, enjoy the bike, and bring it back within three years of the purchase date. Our mechanics will go over the bike, and we'll give you up to 50% of your original purchase price as a credit on the next size up. Repeat the process as your child grows--you'll continue to benefit from the program up to your child's first adult-size bike.
