Recycling Lithium batteries for electric bikes

Logo du recyclage

After a certain number of uses, the battery in your electric bike is likely to lose its range and performance. This is normal, as E-Bike batteries have a certain lifespan after which they need to be changed. While some batteries can be reconditioned, this is not the case for all batteries. You can recycle your battery by taking it to a specialist.

How do you recycle an electric bike battery?

In the case of lithium batteries no longer in use, some cells may be in excellent condition. We work with partners who specialise in battery recycling. The aim is to separate these cells in good condition from the others and reconstitute battery packs for electric bicycles.

A benefit for the environment

Recycling your battery reduces the risk of pollution. Doctibike is seeking to adopt an eco-responsible approach by developing an alternative solution. Your used batteries will be sorted, processed and recycled by our team.

What happens to used batteries?

More than 150,000 batteries from light electric vehicles have been collected and recycled by our partner since 2018.

Each battery is first dismantled, then the dozens of cells that make it up are extracted and crushed to separate the main metals and alloys. These metals and alloys will be used to manufacture everyday objects or will be reused in the manufacture of new batteries.
