Bicycle Bill of Sale Form

If you want to buy or sell a bicycle, a Bike Bill of Sale is the ideal legal document to complete the transaction.

This type of bill of sale form contains the following information:

• Your name along with the buyer’s name

• Make and model of the bicycle

• Sale price

• Each parties signatures 

By including this information, your form can act as a receipt for your sale, ensuring everything runs smoothly in the future regarding who owns the bicycle.

Use our Bike Bill of Sale template to create your document quickly and complete a secure sale. 

To help you understand how your Bill of Sale should be structured, we have created an example for you to go over.

You can use this to ensure your created document has the correct format and details. 

Having a Bill of Sale for a Bicycle before any transaction takes place is essential, whether you are a seller or a buyer.

You should have this form when you are going to:

• Complete a private sale

• Give away your bike as a gift

Using the form in these cases will make sure you and the other party will have a record of the new owner, in the event the bike is stolen or will be resold. 

If you know you’ll find yourself in one of these situations, it’s important to use your form correctly. 

To do so, you’ll need to do the following:

1. Mention bicycle information: Include the bicycle’s specific details and the terms of the sale.

2. Add your details: Ensure you and the other party are mentioned in the form.

3. Include signatures and date: Both parties should sign and date the document. It’s recommended to have a witness or notary public for additional validation.

4. Keep copies: You and the other party should keep copies of the signed Bill of Sale for your records.

Following this process will guarantee a smooth bike sale. 

Creating a Bill of Sale for a bicycle is a straightforward process that provides legal proof of a bike’s sale and transfer of ownership. 

Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure your document is comprehensive and legally sound:

1. Date the document: Start by dating the Bill of Sale. This is the official date of the sale.

2. Enter contact information: Include the full names, addresses, and contact information (phone number and email) of both the seller and the buyer.

3. Describe the bicycle: Detail the bike’s specifics, such as the manufacturer, model, year of manufacture, and serial number. Remember to add any additional relevant information about the bike.

4. Add the price and payment method: Clearly state the purchase price of the bicycle. Specify the payment method, whether it’s cash, electronic transfer, or another form.

5. Sign the document: Both parties should sign the Bill of Sale to officially finish the change of ownership.

By following this list, and using our Bicycle Bill of Sale template, you can easily write a legally valid Bicycle Bill of Sale. 

Unlike when you use a motorcycle bill of sale or for other motorized vehicles, you normally don’t need to register your bicycle with the DMV or your local government. 

However, you can still choose to register your bike with the following:

• Local government: Even if registration is not required in your area, some local governments around the country provide optional services for bike owners.

• Public database: You can register your bicycle with a public database, which you may need to pay a fee for. 

Registering your bike will help you recover it in the event it is stolen or lost.
