Built for bike breakers

Software for motorcycle
dismantlers

PartsCloud auto-detects motorcycles from the DVLA database, seeds a bike-specific stripping checklist (frame, fairings, forks, chain and sprockets, airbox, ECU), and picks the right eBay motorcycle category for every part. Stop wading through car-only fields on a bike strip.

Everything you need to strip and sell bike parts

Auto-detected vehicle type

Enter a plate and PartsCloud reads DVLA typeApproval. L1e through L7e flag instantly as Motorcycle. You do not touch the type field.

Engine CC and bike style

Motorcycle-only fields appear on the vehicle form. Record engine CC (125, 600, 1000, whatever you have), bike style (Sport, Cruiser, Naked, Tourer, Scooter, Adventure, Off-road, Classic), and keep them on the invoice when you sell.

Bike-specific checklist

Fresh motorcycle stripping checklist: frame, fairings, fuel tank, seat, forks, shock, swingarm, wheels, chain and sprockets, exhaust, instruments, handlebars, brakes, airbox, ECU, wiring loom. No car bits to ignore.

eBay motorcycle categories

Category picker scopes to motorcycle parts when you list from a bike. No more scrolling past car headlights to find the right moto one. Covers all six eBay moto root categories.

Barcode labels for bike parts

Print your own parts labels, scan them on the phone in the workshop. Pull up any part by registration, chassis or part ref in seconds.

Sell the whole bike or strip it

Sell a complete runner, a crashed donor, or strip and move parts individually. Every sale lands in the same revenue report so you see the real margin per bike.

Questions about motorcycle support

Will PartsCloud know a bike from a car automatically?

Yes. The DVLA lookup returns a typeApproval code. Anything starting with L (L1e mopeds, L3e bikes, L7e light quads) is flagged as Motorcycle. The bike-only fields appear and the car-only fields disappear.

What if I have an old bike with no DVLA typeApproval on file?

Override the Vehicle Type dropdown on the form. The extra fields appear or disappear instantly. PartsCloud remembers your choice for that record.

Does eBay integration support motorcycle categories?

Yes. PartsCloud syncs all 360+ eBay UK motorcycle parts categories. When you list a part from a bike, only moto categories show in the picker.

Can I run a mixed yard (cars and bikes)?

Yes. Most PartsCloud users do. Each vehicle has its own type. Checklists, fields and eBay categories adapt per-vehicle.

Do I get engine CC and bike style fields for every bike?

Yes. They are standard Motorcycle-type fields. DVLA sometimes fills engine CC automatically; you always can edit or set manually.

What about scooters and mopeds?

Same workflow. A scooter lookup comes back as Motorcycle with bike_style set to Scooter where DVLA data allows.

Can I sell a whole bike without stripping it?

Yes. On the bike page hit Sell Vehicle, enter the price and platform (eBay, trade, walk-in), and PartsCloud marks it sold and creates an invoice. Profit vs cost goes into your reports.
