ralphvfr Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 This has probably been asked before if it has I'm sorry. If I buy a trials bike that is not road registered how do I go about getting it road legal. Is it an easy process. Thanks Ralph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Depends on the bike and if you have a sympathetic MOT station. You need a signed bill of sale, and proof that VAT was paid on the bike when it was sold new (a NOVA certificate I think) ... the latter is reasonably easy on a common model of classic bike if you get in contact with the relevant owner's register, I guess with a new-ish bike you'd have to talk to the official UK importer and you might need an EU certificate of conformity too. Also, I think copies of clear photos of the bike are required. Then you fill out the relevant form, get a V5, and buy a number plate. I'd suggest looking up how this is done on google though, just to be on the safe side. As for the bike itself, you can get a daytime MOT on a classic as long as you have a legal number plate (mildly undersize or flexible might be ok with some MOT stations) and an electric horn fitted - I used a battery powered one for kid's bicycles when I was in the UK. Modern bikes might need other things, but that's outside of my knowledge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
