My apologies if this is a daft question but I have an old scooter that I no longer need, for me it’s past economical repair needing a new carb, sorting a minor fuel leak, needs new tyres etc.

 

any suggestions as to what I can do with it? I see plenty dumped at the roadside but I am NOT going to do that. I would happily give it to a motorbike shop for them to fix up and use or sell on, but what can I do about the green book? The scooter is in my name, and to transfer it to anyone else is a real hassle as the bike doesn’t run, but if I just give it to someone with the book, and they rack up tickets / fines / run around committing crimes with it etc I clearly don’t want to be responsible for that.

 

Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this please?

 

or anyone want a scooter ? ????

 

many thanks 

Leave it by the road side - lol

If you want to do it correctly...

Visit your local DLT and hand in green book and number plate for them to cancel...

 

 

 

 

 

Then leave it by the roadside !

Best to cancel the registration to avoid troubles coming back to you being the owner, and than maybe give to a motorcycle repair shop to try to salvage what ever they can out of it...

Thank you ezzra, I think this is the best solution. It’s a shame as I think it could go back on the road as a cheap runaround for someone but I don’t want the hassle. 
 

thanks everyone !

I wanted to give 2 old bikes to a local repair shop thinking he'd use them for spares, he gave me 5k b. I have seen both back on the road unlicensed.
