🛴 $200+ Flipping These Trending Items Locally

Today’s hustle is all about fixing and flipping broken electric scooters and e-bikes, and the best part? You don’t need to be a mechanic to do it.

One guy figured out that consumers and rental companies like Bird and Lime regularly sell broken scooters and bikes online or in bulk. He buys them for as little as $30–$100, repairs them, and resells them for $200–$600 each.

🔧 How He Gets Used Bikes & Scooters

People are quick to get rid of an e-bike or scooter the minute something goes wrong. Even rental companies retire scooters when they have minor issues, like dead batteries or small frame damage.

🛴 Where to Find Them:

• Bird & Lime Auctions – Check directly with local fleet managers.

• GovDeals & Liquidation.com – Online surplus auctions.

• Facebook Marketplace & Craigslist – People selling old or broken scooters and bikes.

📢 Where He Sells

Once the scooters are repaired and tested, they sell fast because brand-new models go for $800–$1,500.

✅ Facebook Marketplace – “Like new electric scooter – 50% off retail.”

💵 What It Costs & How Much He Makes

• Fixing Cost: $30–$100 per scooter.

• Selling Price: $200–$600 per flip.

• Profit Per Scooter: $200+

♻️ Why This Works So Well

✅ Low competition – Most people don’t know these are available for cheap.
✅ High demand – E-Bikes and scooters are everywhere today and people are always looking for affordable options.
