At Arkansas Auto Bridge, we believe in giving back to our community while making it easier for you to part with your motorcycle. Whether you’re cruising through the scenic Ozark Mountains or tackling the backroads of Little Rock, your motorcycle could be doing more than just collecting dust. When you donate your motorcycle through our program, you’re not only decluttering your life, but you’re also funding local initiatives that benefit those in need.
Imagine the thrill of knowing your old bike, whether it's a trusty cruiser or that ATV you only used during camping trips at Lake Ouachita, is helping others. Our donation process is straightforward and hassle-free, ensuring that you can focus on what matters while we handle the logistics. Plus, we accept motorcycles in any condition — running or not!
What we accept
- Cruisers (running or not, great for local charities)
- Sport Bikes (even if they’ve seen better days)
- Dirt Bikes (ideal for the adventurous spirit)
- Scooters (perfect for quick city commutes)
- Mopeds (small but mighty; every bit counts)
- ATVs (running or not, great for outdoor enthusiasts)
Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We accept motorcycles whether they are running or not. Don’t let a minor mechanical issue stop you from donating; your old ride can still make a positive impact!
Title Issues
Make sure the back of the title is signed with the odometer reading. If you encounter any issues, we’re here to help guide you through the process.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We offer free pickup services across Arkansas. No need to worry about towing costs or finding space in your garage — we handle all of that!
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title of your motorcycle in Arkansas is straightforward. You’ll need to sign the back of the title, including the odometer reading. If you’ve lost your title, you can apply for a duplicate through the Arkansas DMV. Note that you don’t need to return your license plates, but it’s wise to remove them before pickup. In some cases, notarization might be required, especially if the motorcycle is co-owned. We’ll ensure you have the correct forms and guidance throughout the process.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your motorcycle can also provide you with a tax deduction. Typical deductions range from $500 to the full sale value of the motorcycle, depending on its condition and the value it brings to Arkansas Auto Bridge. You'll receive a 1098-C form, which details your donation and can help you claim your deduction. It’s always a good idea to consult with a tax professional for specific advice regarding your situation.
Local context — Arkansas
In Arkansas, motorcycles are more than just a mode of transportation; they're part of our culture. From the winding roads of the Ozarks to the bustling streets of downtown Little Rock, bikers unite during events like the annual Arkansas Bike Rally. Many donations come from individuals looking to downsize, those facing life changes like divorce, or even folks relocating to new states. As you navigate these changes, consider how your motorcycle can play a role in supporting your community.
