Upway is the largest marketplace for certified pre-owned electric bikes, founded in 2021 by former Uber executives Toussaint Wattinne and Stephane Ficaja. It buys used e-bikes from individuals, retailers and manufacturers, reconditions them through a 50-point inspection at its own UpCenter facilities in France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and the United States, and resells them at up to 60% off with a one-year warranty. Upway has no developer program and publishes no OpenAPI, but it does run a real agent-facing commerce API: each of its storefronts serves an llms.txt and an /agents.md, a Universal Commerce Protocol merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp, and an anonymous Model Context Protocol endpoint whose tools/list returns 13 tools with full JSON Schema inputSchemas covering catalog search, cart, checkout and order retrieval.
