I am selling a 80cc 2-stroke bicycle on eBay and the buyer is from California. I told him he needs to register it or whatever they need to do, but am I legally allowed to ship the bike there or not?
I purposley took it for a ride to drain the gas. And I was thinking of having UPS package it then ship it, should I just pack it myself?shipping a 2 stroke to california is legal. it's importing them for sale by a dealer that has restrictions. a one time deal from a private seller is fine.
the only problem is gas and oil. technically, everything has to be drained and cleaned, if it smells like gas, they won't take it.
if it's new and never been run, you won't have any problems.
pack it up really good, and label it as a bicycle. if you tell them it's got a motor, you're just asking for trouble.
Yeah, you can ship the bike to CA.I am selling a 80cc 2-stroke bicycle on eBay and the buyer is from California. I told him he needs to register it or whatever they need to do, but am I legally allowed to ship the bike there or not?
California does not have a 50CC law. Some other states do, but California does not.Your purchaser is not allowed by California law to operate an 80cc engine on a bicycle or moped - although you can sell it to him. The most California will allow is 50cc.
