Ready to part ways with your motorcycle? At Hoosier Wheels, we make donating in Indiana easier than a Sunday ride down the back roads. Whether your bike’s parked in a garage in Bloomington or by the marina in Michigan City, we accept motorcycles in any condition—running or not. Your donation helps support local charities that work tirelessly to improve our communities.
Indiana is home to some of the best motorcycle trails and events in the Midwest, from the winding roads of the Hoosier National Forest to the bustling crowds during the Indianapolis Motorcycle Expo. Donating your motorcycle not only clears your clutter but also means you’re contributing to something greater. Let’s get your bike on the road to making a difference!
What we accept
- Cruisers (running or not, we love them all)
- Sport Bikes (even if they’ve seen better days)
- Scooters (small but mighty, please)
- Mopeds (every little bit helps)
- ATVs (let's tackle those trails together)
- Dirt Bikes (ready for a new adventure)

Running vs Not
Whether your motorcycle roars to life or needs a little TLC, we accept bikes in any condition. Don’t hesitate to reach out, even if it’s been sitting a while!

To ensure a smooth donation, make sure the title is available and properly signed, noting the odometer reading. Don't worry if the title is lost; we can help navigate that process.

We offer convenient pickup options across Indiana, whether your bike is in a garage or a storage unit. Just let us know, and we’ll get it sorted out.
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title for your motorcycle in Indiana is straightforward. You’ll need to complete the Certificate of Title (Form 205) and have the back signed off with the odometer reading by you. Notarization isn’t required unless there are multiple owners. Don’t forget to return your license plates to the local BMV once the bike is out of your hands!
Tax deduction for this donation
When it comes to tax deductions, you can typically expect to receive a deduction between $500 and the final sale price of your motorcycle if sold by Hoosier Wheels. We’ll provide the IRS Form 1098-C to help you document your donation with ease.
