Ever thought selling your Tern bike could be easy — and worth more? Now it is. With Tern’s transferable warranty, any remaining coverage passes to the new owner. That’s good news for both sellers and buyers.
Tern now officially supports a warranty transfer system. If you sell your bike before the warranty expires, the buyer can inherit the rest of the coverage. This only works if the bike was originally bought from an Authorized Tern Dealer in Canada, like Scooteretti.
How It Works for Sellers

According to Tern’s official Seller’s Guide, transferring the warranty includes:
- Proof of purchase and ownership
- A quick condition check by an Authorized Tern Dealer
- Paperwork handled by the customer and uploaded to the portal
Once approved, the new owner receives the remaining warranty.
How It Works for Buyers
From the Buyer’s Guide:
- Get a copy of the original purchase receipt
- Make sure the bike passes the dealer’s inspection
- Receive formal transfer of ownership and warranty coverage
