Dead battery, failed controller or a motor that quit. We buy e-bikes, electric scooters and electric motorcycles that aren't worth fixing.
Tell us about it and we'll call you back with a number. We only use your details for this quote.

If the battery is fine but the bike isn't, or the other way around, tell us. Either way, we'll make an offer on the whole bike.
We only buy bikes with a motor. Regular pedal bicycles aren't something we take.
A damaged lithium battery can catch fire. If yours is swollen, cracked, leaking or has been in water, stop charging it and keep it away from anything that burns. Tell us about it when you call so we can plan how to move it safely.
Most e-bikes in BC aren't registered with ICBC, so there's no transfer form. A receipt or anything else that shows the bike is yours helps.
Electric motorcycles and higher-powered electric scooters are registered and plated, so they follow the same paperwork as a gas bike. We pick up electric bikes all over the region, including Vancouver, the North Shore and Richmond.
In BC, a motor-assisted cycle has pedals, a motor of 500 watts or less, and power that cuts out at 32 km/h. It doesn't need a licence, registration or insurance. Anything faster or more powerful is treated like a motorcycle or scooter and needs plates and registration.
Faster electric bikes and scooters, the ones that need plates in BC, often have big lithium packs. Those packs are heavy and need careful handling, so tell us the battery size if you know it. A pack that's been in a crash or under water needs extra care on the truck.
Delivery riders and small businesses sometimes have several worn-out e-bikes at once. We can take a group in one trip. A business needs someone who can sign for it.
For a regular e-bike, a receipt or bill of sale is the best proof it's yours. For a registered electric motorcycle or scooter, it's the ICBC registration signed by every owner, plus the Transfer/Tax Form once you're paid.
A swollen, cracked or water-damaged lithium battery can catch fire. Don't charge it. Store it outside, away from the house, on something that won't burn. Tell us about it before pickup so the driver can move it safely.
Lithium batteries should never go in household garbage or recycling bins. If you're keeping the bike and only getting rid of a battery, your city or the Recycling Council of BC can point you to a drop-off site.
If you still have the charger and the key for the battery lock, leave them with the bike. Bikes with their battery, key and charger are usually worth more than bikes missing them.
E-bikes and electric motorcycles go to recyclers who handle batteries properly. The battery is removed first, then the motor, wiring and frame are recycled.
Yes. A dead or missing battery lowers the offer but doesn't rule the bike out.
Stop charging it, keep it away from anything that burns, and tell us about it when you call.
No. We only buy bikes with a motor.
Usually not, since most e-bikes aren't registered in BC. Proof that it's yours helps. Electric motorcycles need their ICBC registration signed over.
Yes, running or not. Tell us the model, whether it is registered and plated in BC, and what condition the battery is in. A damaged or swollen battery changes how we move the bike, so mention it up front and we will plan for it.
Yes. A frame with the motor and no battery is still worth something to us, though less than a complete bike. Tell us exactly what is missing, including the charger and battery key, so the number reflects what we are actually picking up.
Call with the year, make and model and we'll give you a number.
