We understand that life changes—maybe you’re downsizing or facing a difficult transition like divorce. Whatever the reason, our motorcycle donation process is simple and hassle-free. Located right here in the heart of Denver, Ride Revive is committed to making your donation experience smooth. With just a signed title and a quick pickup, you can turn your bike into a valuable asset for those in need.
What we accept
- Cruisers (running or non-running, any condition)
- Sportbikes (full or partial operational status)

- Mopeds (working or for parts, as long as the title is signed)
- ATVs (running or not, titles must be signed)
- Dirt bikes (any condition, just need the title signed)
Condition & logistics
Running vs Not
Whether your motorcycle is on the road or in need of repairs, we accept donations in both conditions. A running bike is great, but even non-running models can help – just sign over the title, and we’ll handle the rest.
Title Issues
Be sure to have the title signed over with the odometer reading. If your title is missing, we can help you with the process to obtain a replacement so you can still donate your motorcycle.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
We offer free pickup services for your motorcycle anywhere in Denver and the surrounding areas. Just let us know where your bike is stored, and we’ll coordinate a convenient time to collect it.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating a motorcycle in Colorado, it’s crucial to ensure that the title is correctly transferred. You’ll need to fill out the standard DMV form for the transfer, and in Colorado, it’s advisable to have the title notarized. Remember to return your license plates to the DMV. This not only protects you but also ensures a smooth transition for the new owner.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your motorcycle could provide a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the actual sale price if sold by Ride Revive. Don’t forget to request a Form 1098-C, which details your donation and its value for tax purposes. Always check with a tax professional to understand how this might affect your finances!
Local context — Denver
Motorcycles in Denver often come from the city’s vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts and urban adventurers. Many residents donate their bikes due to relocation, such as moving from trendy areas like RiNo to quieter neighborhoods. Others might be downsizing their collection or simply facing life changes that make it hard to keep their ride. Whatever the reason, Denver's culture of giving means that your bike can continue to serve a purpose even after your last ride.
