How pickup works
Revive Wheels simplifies the donation process with hassle-free pickup for your motorcycle. Our team will arrive at your designated location using a small flatbed or trailer, and you won’t even need to be present for the loading. We’ll securely strap your motorcycle down at the frame, ensuring it’s transported safely. No key is required for loading, so you can easily schedule a pickup that works best for you. Please keep in mind that the timing of your donation can affect auction outcomes; donating in spring, when riding season kicks off, often helps maximize your motorcycle’s value.
What drives donation value
The value of your motorcycle donation is influenced by several factors. For older cruisers, the vehicle's history often outweighs mileage, while common models like Harley-Davidsons tend to hold their value better. Japanese cruisers generally devalue slower, but sport bikes' value is closely linked to their condition—well-maintained bikes are more desirable than those with a rough history. Aftermarket parts can alter the motorcycle’s worth, either positively or negatively, and for vintage or custom bikes, a qualified appraisal is essential for accurate valuation when filing IRS Form 8283 Section B.
