We buy old motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds of every make and condition — non-running, accident-damaged, or simply aged. Serving households, dealerships, garages, and fleet operators across India's major cities and industrial zones.
Call Now: +91 82978 65751India is the world's largest two-wheeler market, with hundreds of millions of motorcycles and scooters registered across the country. Every year, a significant proportion of this fleet reaches end-of-life — through age, damage, obsolescence, or simply becoming uneconomical to repair. The question most owners face is not whether to scrap their old two-wheeler, but how to do so in a way that recovers the maximum value and completes the process legally and without hassle.
At A S Traders, we are specialist two-wheeler scrap buyers with the expertise to accurately assess, dismantle, and recycle every component of your old motorcycle or scooter at fair market rates. Whether you have a single aged Hero Splendor that stopped running years ago, or a fleet of end-of-life delivery scooters from a commercial operation, we handle every collection the same way: a site visit, transparent weighing, component-by-component pricing, and same-day payment.
We serve individual households, automotive workshops, used vehicle dealers, garage owners, corporate fleet operators, and delivery companies across India's major cities and industrial zones — Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Noida, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh. Our process covers the entire end-of-life two-wheeler journey — from scrap assessment and collection to RC cancellation guidance and Certificate of Destruction from our authorised RVSF partners.
India's vehicle scrapping policy has significantly changed the two-wheeler end-of-life landscape. Under the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy, end-of-life vehicles are required to be processed through Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs), with proper documentation including a Certificate of Destruction (COD) as the legally recognised proof of scrapping. Vehicles scrapped without a COD remain on the registration records and continue to generate liability for the owner — including traffic violation penalties, insurance liabilities, and potential legal complications.
Working with a professional two-wheeler scrap buyer like A S Traders ensures you receive the correct scrap value for your vehicle while completing the process correctly — with the COD issued, the RC cancellation initiated at the RTO, and all material processed through legitimate recycling channels. This protects you from ongoing registration liability while ensuring the vehicle's materials — ferrous metals, aluminium, copper, batteries, and plastics — are directed into appropriate recycling streams rather than informal disposal channels.
From a single scooter rusting in a corner to a bulk fleet disposal, A S Traders brings professionalism, documentation support, and immediate settlement to every two-wheeler scrap transaction.
A two-wheeler is not a single material — it is a collection of distinct component streams, each with its own recycling value and processing pathway. A S Traders has the expertise to correctly identify and price every component. Here is a complete guide to what we assess when buying a two-wheeler for scrap:
| Component / Material | Common Materials | Found In | Value Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frame & Chassis | Mild steel, high-tensile steel tubing | All motorcycles and scooters; primary structural element; major source of ferrous scrap by weight | High Volume Ferrous |
| Engine Block & Components | Aluminium alloy (most modern engines), cast iron (older engines), steel internals | All powered two-wheelers; aluminium-heavy in modern 100–200cc engines; cast iron in older models | High Value Aluminium |
| Alloy Wheels & Rims | Aluminium alloy, steel (spoke wheels) | Most premium and mid-range motorcycles and scooters; alloy wheels command strong aluminium scrap rates | High Value Aluminium |
| Lead-Acid Battery | Lead plates, sulphuric acid electrolyte, polypropylene case | All petrol two-wheelers; standard 12V sealed lead-acid units; significant lead content per kg | Regulated Recycling |
| Lithium-Ion Battery | Lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, aluminium | Electric two-wheelers — Ola, Ather, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Hero Vida and similar; high-value materials | High Value EV |
| Electrical & Wiring | Copper wiring, aluminium alternator windings, steel connectors | All two-wheelers; wiring harness, starter motor, alternator, ignition system | Copper Value |
| Exhaust System | Mild steel, stainless steel (premium models) | All petrol two-wheelers; muffler, headers, and exhaust pipes; stainless commands premium over mild steel | Standard Ferrous |
| Tyres & Rubber | Natural and synthetic rubber, steel wire bead | All two-wheelers; directed to tyre recyclers for devulcanisation or crumb rubber production | Tyre Recycling Stream |
| Body Panels & Plastics | ABS, polypropylene, polyethylene plastics | Scooters and modern motorcycles; fairings, mudguards, side panels, instrument clusters | Plastic Recycling |
Not sure what your old two-wheeler is worth for scrap? Our team assesses every component on-site before confirming any price — you are never locked into a rate before you understand exactly what your vehicle contains and what each part is worth.
We purchase all categories of end-of-life two-wheelers regardless of make, model, year, or condition. Here are the most common vehicle types we collect:
Standard commuter motorcycles (Hero Splendor, Honda Shine, Bajaj Platina), sports and performance bikes (KTM, Yamaha R series, TVS Apache), cruisers and touring bikes (Royal Enfield Bullet, Classic, Meteor), and superbikes of any displacement. Any make, any year, running or non-running, cosmetically damaged or complete — we assess and price every motorcycle fairly at current scrap rates.
Gearless commuter scooters (Honda Activa, TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access, Yamaha Fascino), older mopeds and step-throughs, and vintage geared scooters (Bajaj Chetak, LML Vespa). Scooters typically yield strong aluminium content from engine blocks and alloy wheels, making them one of the better-value two-wheeler categories for scrap. We collect all sizes and conditions.
End-of-life electric scooters and motorcycles including Ola S1, Ather 450, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak Electric, Hero Vida, Revolt RV, and all other EV brands. Electric two-wheelers require specialist handling due to the lithium-ion battery pack — which contains high-value materials including lithium, cobalt, and nickel. A S Traders ensures EV batteries are handled by licensed battery recyclers in full compliance with environmental regulations.
Accident-damaged, insurance write-off, and total-loss two-wheelers from individual owners, insurance companies, and garages handling salvage vehicles. Write-off bikes often retain significant scrap value in intact mechanical components — engines, alloy wheels, electrical systems — even when the frame or body is beyond economic repair. Our team identifies and values all recoverable material accurately.
End-of-life delivery motorcycles and scooters from e-commerce delivery companies, food delivery fleets, courier operators, and corporate two-wheeler fleets. High-mileage commercial fleet vehicles reaching end-of-life in bulk require efficient coordinated collection — we provide scheduled bulk pickups aligned to your fleet replacement cycle with full documentation for each vehicle.
Abandoned vehicles left with workshops, non-claimed accident vehicles from garages, and old display or test vehicles from dealerships. Automotive workshops and dealers frequently accumulate vehicles that are uneconomical to repair and uncollected by owners. We provide structured clearance collections with full documentation, helping you reclaim workshop space while recovering scrap value.
Old motorcycles and scooters stored in garages, sheds, and compounds for years — including seized engines, missing documents, or incomplete vehicles. Age and non-running condition do not eliminate scrap value. Old vehicles with no market value for resale often retain significant metal value when assessed correctly. We organise convenient household collection across all major cities with same-day or next-day pickup.
Motorcycle or scooter frames without engines, individual engine blocks, bare alloy wheels, exhaust systems, fuel tanks, and other isolated components from dismantling operations or workshop part-outs. We purchase individual components as well as complete vehicles — no two-wheeler material is too fragmentary for us to assess and value accurately.
Scrapping a two-wheeler with A S Traders is designed to be completely hassle-free — from the initial call to the final payment and documentation. No confusing paperwork, no undisclosed deductions after pickup, no delays in payment or documentation.
Contact us at +91 82978 65751 with your vehicle's make, model, approximate year, and condition. We will provide an immediate response and schedule a pickup at your convenience — same day or next day for most locations.
Our team visits your home, garage, or workplace. We assess the vehicle, weigh it using certified digital scales, and evaluate individual components — engine, battery, alloy wheels, electrical system — to arrive at the most accurate and fair scrap valuation.
We present a clear, itemised offer based on the vehicle's total scrap weight and component values. You receive a written weight slip with a full breakdown. No post-collection adjustments, no renegotiations after the vehicle is loaded.
Payment is made immediately on-site — cash, UPI, or bank transfer. Our team loads and transports the vehicle at no charge. You receive your payment before the vehicle leaves your premises.
We guide you through the Certificate of Destruction process via our RVSF partners and provide assistance with RC cancellation at the RTO. The COD protects you from ongoing registration liability — it is the legal proof that the vehicle has been properly destroyed and is no longer on road.
Most scrap buyers treat a two-wheeler as a single weight to be priced at the lowest blended rate. A S Traders assesses each component stream correctly — ensuring the aluminium in your engine and alloy wheels is priced as aluminium, not averaged with steel.
India's National Vehicle Scrappage Policy has made proper documentation essential for anyone scrapping a two-wheeler. Understanding the process protects you from ongoing liability and ensures you complete the transaction correctly.
A Certificate of Destruction is the legally recognised document confirming that a vehicle has been processed for scrapping at a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF). It is the definitive proof that the vehicle no longer exists as a roadworthy unit and that the owner has discharged all obligations associated with it.
Without a COD, your scrapped two-wheeler technically remains on the RTO registration records — meaning you can continue to receive traffic violation notices, face insurance renewal demands, and in some cases remain liable for incidents involving the vehicle if it is unlawfully repurposed. The COD closes this liability permanently.
A S Traders works with RVSF partners to issue CODs for all two-wheelers processed through our collection network. The COD is typically issued within 7 working days after vehicle pickup and processing, and we provide guidance on using it for RTO deregistration.
RC cancellation is the process of formally deregistering a two-wheeler at the Regional Transport Office (RTO) once it has been scrapped. While the COD confirms the vehicle has been destroyed, the RC cancellation is the administrative act of removing the vehicle from the live registration database.
The process typically involves submitting the COD, the original RC book, insurance documents, and a cancellation application to the issuing RTO. In many states, this can now be initiated through the Vahan portal online, reducing the need for physical RTO visits. Our team provides step-by-step guidance tailored to your state's RTO procedures.
Under the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy, owners who scrap end-of-life vehicles through registered facilities receive a Scrap Value Certificate — entitling them to a registration fee waiver when purchasing a new vehicle. The specific benefit amount varies by state and vehicle class, but for most two-wheeler owners this represents a meaningful financial incentive that partially offsets the cost of upgrading to a new vehicle.
To claim this benefit, the scrapping must be done through an RVSF, and the Scrap Value Certificate must be submitted to the dealer at the time of purchasing the new vehicle. Scrapping through unregistered channels — roadside scrap dealers with no documentation — disqualifies you from this benefit. A S Traders' RVSF-linked process ensures you receive all benefits you are entitled to.
For a standard two-wheeler scrap transaction, the following documents are helpful: the original Registration Certificate (RC book), a valid identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN card, or driving licence), and the vehicle insurance details if available. If the RC book has been lost, alternative documentation processes exist — our team will advise on the appropriate route for your specific situation. For commercial fleet vehicles, company authorisation letters may also be required alongside the standard documents.
The most important principle is to never scrap a two-wheeler through a channel that does not provide a COD and does not assist with deregistration — the ongoing liability is real and avoidable when you work with a legitimate buyer like A S Traders.
We serve the full spectrum of two-wheeler scrap sellers — from individual household owners with a single old bike to large fleet operators with hundreds of end-of-life vehicles to process. Here are the main client types we work with on a regular basis:
Single bike or scooter owners with an aged, non-running, or simply unused two-wheeler taking up space in a garage or compound. The most common source of two-wheeler scrap in India — we make the process completely convenient with free doorstep pickup, same-day payment, and full documentation guidance. No lot is too small.
Repair garages and service workshops that have accumulated abandoned vehicles — bikes left by customers who never returned, vehicles written off as uneconomical to repair, and old workshop test bikes. We provide structured clearance collections, freeing up valuable workshop floor space and recovering scrap value from idle inventory.
New and used two-wheeler dealers exchanging old bikes in trade-in deals, clearing aged unsold inventory, or processing demonstration vehicles at end-of-display-life. We provide bulk collection for dealership scrap with full documentation for GST and audit purposes, and can offer structured programmes for regular exchange vehicle processing.
Logistics companies, e-commerce delivery operators, and food delivery platforms retiring high-mileage delivery motorcycles and scooters. Fleet replacement cycles generate consistent volumes of end-of-life two-wheelers requiring coordinated collection, documentation, and recycling. We provide fleet-scale programmes with agreed collection schedules aligned to your replacement cycle.
Insurance companies and salvage management firms handling total-loss two-wheeler write-offs that have been stripped of reusable parts and need to be processed for material recycling. We handle write-off vehicle scrap collection with the required documentation trail for insurance records and regulatory compliance.
Owners of end-of-life or battery-damaged electric scooters and motorcycles requiring specialist handling for the lithium-ion battery pack. EV two-wheeler scrapping requires compliance with battery recycling regulations — we ensure full environmental compliance for all EV two-wheeler collections, with batteries directed to licensed recyclers.
Companies with employee two-wheeler allowance schemes or company-owned delivery bikes reaching end-of-life. Corporate fleet scrapping requires GST-compliant documentation, COD issuance for each vehicle, and a structured audit trail. A S Traders provides fully documented bulk two-wheeler scrap collections for corporate clients with all required compliance records.
Residential complexes with abandoned or unclaimed two-wheelers in parking areas. We assist housing society management committees with identifying, documenting, and clearing end-of-life two-wheelers from compound parking, recovering scrap value and reclaiming parking space through a compliant, documented process.
The scrap value of a two-wheeler depends not just on its weight, but on the condition and completeness of its high-value components. These practical steps can meaningfully improve your total payout:
The components that add the most value above basic frame weight are the engine block (aluminium in most modern bikes), alloy wheels, the battery, and the wiring harness. Before calling for pickup, avoid stripping the bike of these components for separate sale unless you are confident you can achieve better value independently — a complete vehicle assessed by a specialist buyer will often yield a better combined total than individual part sales on the open market, with significantly less effort.
Lead-acid batteries from petrol two-wheelers contain significant lead content and command a measurable standalone scrap value. Lithium-ion packs from electric two-wheelers contain valuable rare and transition metals. In both cases, the battery should be handled as part of the overall vehicle assessment — disposing of it separately through informal channels is both legally non-compliant (under battery waste management rules) and financially counterproductive. Let our team assess and recycle the battery through the correct licensed pathway.
The RC book, your identity proof, and insurance documents (if available) should be gathered before our team arrives. Having these ready speeds up the transaction, enables the COD process to begin immediately, and ensures you can claim the registration fee waiver benefit under the Vehicle Scrappage Policy when purchasing your next vehicle. If the RC book is unavailable, inform us when booking — our team will advise on the alternative documentation route for your state.
Some sellers attempt to remove copper wiring from the wiring harness or aluminium from the engine before bringing a vehicle in for scrap. This approach almost always reduces total realisation — because our team values the complete vehicle on a component-by-component basis, and complete systems are assessed more accurately than stripped remnants. Remove obvious non-attached contaminants, but keep the vehicle's mechanical systems intact for best results.
The most efficient collection happens when you give us an accurate description of the vehicle's condition when booking — whether the engine is seized, whether the fuel tank is present, whether alloy or spoke wheels are fitted, and whether the battery is functional. This allows our team to bring appropriate tools and logistics for the collection, avoiding delays on the day. There is no downside to complete honesty — we buy two-wheelers in every condition, and knowing the situation in advance just makes the collection smoother for everyone.
If your electric two-wheeler has a damaged, swollen, or leaking lithium-ion battery pack, do not attempt to remove it or store it in enclosed spaces — damaged lithium batteries are a thermal runaway and fire risk. Inform our team of the battery condition when booking the collection, and we will ensure the appropriate specialist handling is arranged for safe transport and disposal through a licensed EV battery recycler.
A S Traders collects end-of-life two-wheelers across India's major cities and urban regions. Our logistics and documentation network covers:
Not sure if we cover your area? Call us directly — we confirm coverage and arrange collection for all qualifying two-wheeler scrap lots across India.
A S Traders buys all types of end-of-life two-wheelers for scrap — motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, and electric two-wheelers of every make and model including Hero, Honda, Bajaj, TVS, Yamaha, Royal Enfield, Suzuki, KTM, Ola, Ather, and all other brands. We accept vehicles in any condition: non-running, accident-damaged, flood-affected, seized engine, missing parts, or simply aged. Individual components — engines, batteries, alloy wheels — are also purchased separately.
Two-wheeler scrap value is assessed on a component-by-component basis: the steel chassis and frame, the aluminium content of modern engines and alloy wheels, the copper in the wiring harness, the battery value, and the weight of remaining ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Vehicles with complete, intact mechanical systems typically yield better combined scrap values than stripped frames. Our team provides a transparent, itemised assessment on-site before confirming any price — you are never locked into a rate before you understand exactly what your vehicle is worth.
Yes. A S Traders provides free doorstep pickup for all two-wheeler scrap collections across India. For non-running or immobile vehicles, our team brings appropriate loading equipment. There is no charge for collection, transportation, or loading — the pickup is entirely at our cost.
Yes. A S Traders provides guidance on the Certificate of Destruction (COD) process through our RVSF partners — the COD is typically issued within 7 working days after vehicle pickup. We also provide step-by-step guidance on RC cancellation at the RTO using the COD. The COD is essential to close your vehicle's registration record and protect you from ongoing liability — we strongly advise all sellers to complete this step and we make the process as simple as possible.
Having the original RC book makes the process fastest and most straightforward. If the RC book is lost — for example on old vehicles, inherited bikes, or vehicles purchased second-hand without complete paperwork — alternative documentation routes exist depending on the state RTO's procedures. Contact us with your specific situation and our team will advise on the most practical approach for completing the sale and deregistration without the original RC.
Yes. Under India's National Vehicle Scrappage Policy, owners who scrap eligible end-of-life two-wheelers through a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) receive a Scrap Value Certificate entitling them to a registration fee waiver when purchasing a new vehicle. The exact benefit varies by state. Scrapping through unregistered channels disqualifies you from this benefit — working with A S Traders through our RVSF-linked process ensures you can access this entitlement.
Lithium-ion batteries from electric two-wheelers are handled by licensed EV battery recyclers in full compliance with the Battery Waste Management Rules. We do not process EV batteries through general ferrous or non-ferrous recycling streams. If your electric two-wheeler's battery is damaged, swollen, or leaking, inform us when booking — our team will arrange specialist handling for safe collection and transport. Do not attempt to remove a damaged EV battery yourself.
For single households and small lots across India's major cities, we typically arrange same-day or next-day collection. For bulk fleet collections or vehicles requiring specialist handling (EV batteries, very heavy machinery), we schedule a brief prior assessment and then confirm a collection date that works for your operation. Contact us at +91 82978 65751 and we will confirm availability immediately.
All makes accepted. Any condition. Free doorstep pickup. Instant payment. COD & RC assistance. Serving sellers across India.
