What is CrankMart?
South Africa's dedicated peer-to-peer cycling marketplace with built-in escrow protection.
CrankMart is a dedicated marketplace for South African cyclists to buy and sell bikes, parts, and gear safely.
What makes CrankMart different
- Built-in buyer protection. Every marketplace transaction is held in escrow by TradeSafe — the seller only gets paid once you confirm you've received your item.
- Verified sellers. Sellers complete TradeSafe identity + banking verification before they can receive funds. You'll see a green "Verified" badge on their listings.
- No platform fees at launch. 100% of the sale price goes to the seller.
- Cycling-only. No phones, no furniture, no scams from people who don't ride. Just bikes, parts, gear, and the people who know them.
