About B-cycle

Beyond teams up with Australia's official battery stewardship scheme

At Beyond, we're not just passionate about crafting the best bikes for every type of rider — we're also deeply committed to the health of our planet. That's why we've partnered with B-cycle, Australia's leading battery stewardship scheme, and Ecobatt, the nation's foremost battery recycler.

Together, we've launched an initiative that brings battery recycling to the forefront of our sustainability efforts — an easy, effective way for our community to contribute to environmental conservation.

Why it matters

Why battery recycling matters

Batteries are a crucial component of many cycling products, especially in our rapidly growing e-bike segment. But when batteries reach the end of their life and are improperly disposed of, they pose significant environmental risks — hazardous materials and heavy metals can leach into soil and water, harming wildlife and ecosystems.

By recycling batteries, we prevent pollution, conserve resources, and reduce the demand for the raw materials needed to produce new ones.

Dropping used batteries into a B-cycle recycling bin

How it works

Recycle in four simple steps

Participating Beyond stores across Australia now host B-cycle battery recycling bins where you can drop off used batteries from your bike, as well as any other household batteries.

  1. 1

    Collect your used batteries

    Gather all used batteries from your home, not just those from your bike. B-cycle accepts batteries from a wide range of products.

  2. 2

    Tape your terminals

    If battery terminals touch, they can spark and catch fire. To prevent this, tape the terminals of used batteries. Always use clear sticky tape.

  3. 3

    Drop them off

    Visit your nearest participating Beyond store and speak to a staff member who'll help you safely place the batteries in the B-cycle bin. There's no cost to you — just drop them in, and we'll take care of the rest.

  4. 4

    Feel good about your impact

    Every battery recycled is one less hazardous item in landfill and one more step towards a cleaner planet. A simple yet powerful step towards sustainability.
