Sell Your Scooter in Canada

Used scooters in Canada typically sell for C$28 to C$170 (about $20 to $120). Kick scooters are outgrown quickly by children and used hard by commuters, so the deck and wheels tell the story.

Selling a scooter in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Working out what yours is worth

• Roll it and listen for wheel bearing noise
• Fold and unfold it checking the lock holds

Getting it ready

• Establish the type: children’s push, adult commuter, stunt or electric, and the age or weight rating.
• Check the deck for cracks and the bars for play at the clamp.

Put in the description

• Age or weight rating
• Wheel size and material, and whether it folds
• Deck, clamp, brake and bearing condition

Type, brand and age suitability: “Micro Maxi Deluxe Scooter, Ages 5-12, Folding”. Type is the first filter and prevents wasted messages. For electric models put the range and battery in the title instead — that is what those buyers search.

Folds small enough to post for children’s and commuter models. Electric scooters have battery shipping restrictions — check with your courier before promising anything.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$170 a buyer pays is the C$170 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a scooter in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Is there play in the bars?

Grip the deck and twist the bars. Clamp play is the standard fault and is usually a simple tighten, but should be mentioned.

What should I check on a used scooter?

The folding joint and the wheels. Cracks at the joint are a safety issue and flat-spotted wheels make it unpleasant to ride.

Do children’s and adult scooters differ?

Considerably in weight rating and deck size. State which it is and the maximum rider weight if marked.
