Certified handovers for bike resale
Sell your bike with proof buyers can trust.
RideTag creates a certified handover record so buyers know the sale is legitimate — without sharing your personal details.
If your bike is stolen, RideTag makes it harder to resell.
RideTag can certify this sale only if the seller completes a certified handover with you.

What is a certified handover?
A certified handover is how RideTag records a bike sale without showing personal data.
How it works:
1. The seller initiates the handover from their RideTag account (this proves they are the last accountable holder).
2. The buyer accepts the handover via a secure link.
3. The seller completes the handover, and RideTag records a timestamped receipt.
Why it matters:
Only the last accountable holder can complete the final step.
This creates a public, tamper-proof record of the sale—without revealing names, emails, or addresses.
What you get when you sell
- A certified handover record buyers can verify
- Timestamped proof that you were the last verified holder
- A shareable verification link for the buyer
- Theft alert visible to anyone checking the bike
Your name and contact details are never public.
Built for sellers — and trusted by buyers.

Bikes have no public record by default
RideTag gives your bike a verifiable identity you control. You decide what's visible, while keeping personal details private.
Your bike deserves more than trust by word
Stolen bikes get resold because buyers can't check them. RideTag gives honest sellers a way to show theft alerts, documents, and certified handovers — so resale doesn't rely on promises.
Key takeaway
Make your bike checkable by anyone, without sharing personal details or changing how you ride.
