Verification Terms

What verification is

"Bikepick Verified" is a limited, three-point check on a used-bike listing:

• Documents — RC book and key documents are checked for internal consistency and match with the listed vehicle
• Ownership — the seller's claim of ownership is checked against the documents provided
• Condition — a basic physical or photo-based condition check of the listed vehicle

What verification is not

• It is not a full mechanical inspection, crash test, or certification by any authority
• It does not guarantee that the vehicle is free from defects, prior accidents, or odometer tampering beyond what is evident
• It does not confirm the market value of the vehicle
• It is performed at a point in time and does not cover changes after verification

How it is applied

• Verification is initiated for listings that opt in (or where we proactively check) and is completed by authorised staff or a verified partner
• The badge is shown only after our team has approved the check; we do not auto-badge listings
• Sellers must provide genuine documents. Providing false documents is fraud and may lead to removal and reporting
• Proof documents are stored in a private bucket and are visible only to the owner and authorised staff

If you rely on it

Verification is one input. You should still complete your own due diligence: physical inspection, document verification, and, where appropriate, a professional inspection.
