Frequently asked questions
Can I sell my motorcycle on eBay to support the charity?
If you’ve got a bike you no longer use we would be delighted if you donated the proceeds to us! eBay is the most popular platform for selling used vehicles in the UK so a great place to list your beloved bike or car.
Is it safe to list or buy used motorcycle helmets?
Helmets are not recommended for buying secondhand as sellers can’t guarantee their safety, so we don’t recommend this.
Do you send used motorcycles or riding gear to Africa?
Ebrima Ceesay, a motorcycle health worker in The Gambia, monitoring underweight babies in a remote village and ensuring they have the correct nutrition with the support of Two Wheels for Life.
Lots of people kindly offer to give us used riding gear or motorcycles to offer to health workers. But unfortunately there are a number of reasons why this isn’t a great option.
Firstly shipping costs are very high, so the only way to make postage economically viable is to to send a full container which is expensive with costs running to many thousands.
Also, gear needed needs to be specific to the environments where it will be used. So size, warmth and quality and consistancy are important, and very hard to control with second hand gear. And bikes need to come with spare parts to ensure they can be kept on the road.
How will the money I raise be spent?
The money raised from the sales of your leathers, boots, gloves, protective gear, bike parts, luggage and more is extremely valuable. You’ll be helping health workers access hard to reach villages across Africa with vital, life-saving health services.
