National Bicycle Registry South Africa

Site Features

The National Bicycle Registry site has two major sections, a Public and Registered Users. Creating an account within the ‘login’ box takes your status to Registered User. Registration is FREE. Your South African ID number will be your Username. As is custom you will be asked to go through a verification process for security reasons. Registered Users have access to the core of the Registry i.e. registration and management of their bicycle/s data. Most Bike management features may be actioned via the icons displayed on the My Bike menu link. This includes ...

ADD BIKE : You can add as many bikes under you Username as you wish. Each addition allows for one photograph upload. Information required covers all the basic identification attributes of your bike.

EDIT BIKE : Bike data may be Edited ... Bike identification attributes which cannot be changed without fundamentally changing the Bike may not be edited. You may edit Colour, Group Set, Other Descriptors and Photo. 

MAINTENANCE LOG : Your Bike maintenance or component additions can be logged. Over time this log can be used like any vehicle service book and will be transferred with the Bike when sold. It also helps in Bike identification when needed.

DELETE BIKE : Bikes cannot be ‘deleted’ off the system in the true sense but can be Scrapped, made unrecoverable after theft  or Transferred to a new owner. This removes the Bike from your Bike and its Maintenance Log from the list. The Registry will keep the basic Bike data on archive for future referencing if needed.

STOLEN : You can list your Bike as stolen. When reported stolen the Bike data will remain on your Bike list but its Status will show it has been stolen. In such a case basic Bike [only] data will be made available to the public and law enforcement officials. On submitting a Stolen Bike Report, emails will be sent to various bike shops and dealers around the country for reference.

TRANSFER : This feature allows the Bike to be Transferred to a new owner who should first be registered with the National Bicycle Registry.

Public domain features include the Stolen Bike and Recovered Bike list. The Stolen Bike list displays Bikes that have been stolen and reported via the Registry. This information is available to the general public and law enforcement agencies inland and on our borders. The Registry will, from time to time [from official sources], receive confiscated Bikes suspected stolen. Hopefully we can find the original owners by making this data public.

We hope the above gives some insight. Please feel free to navigate the site. Your feedback will be most appreciated. You may do so via the Contact Us page...
