Scooters we buy

A lot of scooters get bought for one job: getting to class, getting downtown for work, or skipping the hunt for parking. When that job ends, the scooter goes into the parkade or the bike room and stays there. A year later the battery is flat and the old fuel has gummed up the carburetor.

Quick pickups from bike rooms and cages

Scooters are light, so pickups are quick. Tell us if it's in a bike room, a storage cage or a parkade, and whether the building has a loading area.

Scooter paperwork in BC

Gas scooters and mopeds in BC are registered and plated, so selling one works like selling a motorcycle. You sign over the registration, show photo ID, sign the APV9T transfer form once you're paid, and take the plate off.

We pick up scooters across the region, most often in Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond.

Scooters and mopeds in BC: the rules that matter

Limited-speed motorcycles

In BC, most small gas scooters and mopeds count as limited-speed motorcycles: a small engine, a top speed of around 70 km/h, and plates, registration and insurance just like a bigger bike. So the same paperwork applies when you sell one.

The paperwork

Bring the registration signed by every owner, photo ID, and the plate off the back. You sign ICBC's Transfer/Tax Form after you're paid. The steps are on ICBC's selling a used vehicle page.

Bike rooms and parkade cages

Scooters often end up in condo bike rooms and storage cages, sometimes with a flat tire and a dead battery. We can wheel them out. Tell us which level it's on, whether you need a fob for the elevator or gate, and whether the strata needs notice.

Electric scooters

Electric scooters that are registered and plated in BC sell the same way as gas ones. If the battery is damaged, swollen or has been in water, tell us before pickup so the driver can handle it safely.

Older two-stroke scooters

Older two-stroke scooters can be hard to keep running. If yours has been sitting with old fuel, it probably won't start, and that's fine. We price it as it is.

Students heading home

Students leaving town often sell scooters at the end of term. If you're moving out, call a week or two ahead so the pickup fits around your move-out date, not the last afternoon of your lease.

When a scooter is worth fixing

Small scooters are cheap to buy new, so repairs add up fast compared to what the scooter is worth. A battery and fresh fuel may be enough to get it going. If it needs more than that, selling it as it sits is usually the easier call.

Strata and storage rules

Many buildings limit how long a scooter that doesn't run can sit in a bike room or stall. If you've had a notice, tell us the deadline and we'll try to book before it.

Keys, seat locks and missing parts

Many scooters use one key for the ignition and the seat lock. If you have it, leave it with the scooter. Missing mirrors, a cracked floor panel or no battery are all fine. Tell us what's missing so the number matches what the driver finds.

Questions people ask

Do you buy 50cc mopeds?

Yes, along with bigger scooters.

Do I need the registration to sell a scooter?

Yes, for a plated scooter or moped. It needs to be signed by every registered owner.

Can you take a scooter out of a bike room?

Yes. Let us know where it is in the building and whether there's a loading area.

Can you pick up a scooter without the owner being there?

Usually not, since the registered owner signs the transfer form and gets paid. If the owner has already left town, call us before booking. Depending on the situation, there may be a way to handle it, and we will tell you honestly if there is not.

Do you buy scooters with a cracked body or missing panels?

Yes. Cracked plastics, missing mirrors and broken lights are common on scooters and do not stop a sale. Tell us what is missing or broken when you ask for a quote, so the number we give you matches what the driver finds.
