Motorcycle Scrap Metal Buyer Singapore
Per-kg pricing for stripped scooter and motorcycle metal — for dealers, workshops and dismantlers
What Molten Steel actually buys
We buy scrap metal — not whole vehicles. Molten Steel is a licensed scrap metal dealer, not an LTA-appointed scrap car dealer. We do not deregister cars and we do not handle COE rebates. Our customers are scrap car dealers, yards, mechanics and workshops who already strip vehicles down to recoverable metal.
We buy
- Stripped car bodies (metal shell only)
- Catalytic converters
- Engine blocks, gearboxes, drivetrain
- Copper wiring harnesses
- Aluminium rims, brass fittings
- Loose ferrous + non-ferrous parts
Strip and remove first
- Tyres
- Seat cushions and foam
- Wool, fabric, carpet
- Steering wheel (plastic + airbag)
- Windscreen and side glass
- Plastic trim, dashboard
Are you a car owner trying to deregister an end-of-life vehicle? Use an LTA-appointed scrap car dealer first. Once they strip the vehicle to metal, Molten Steel buys that metal at LME-benchmarked per-kg rates.
Where motorcycle metal goes after deregistration
Motorcycles in Singapore follow the same end-of-life path as cars. An LTA-appointed scrap car dealer handles the deregistration, then the bike is stripped down. The recovered metal — frame, engine castings, exhaust, copper harness, lead-acid battery, and catalytic converter where fitted — comes to a scrap metal yard like ours.
Molten Steel buys that metal stream from motorcycle dealers, workshops, and dismantlers. We do not deregister bikes and we do not buy whole running motorcycles. What we do is grade and pay per-kg by category, with separate per-unit pricing on catalytic converters.
What we buy from motorcycles and scooters
- Stripped frames and forks (steel + aluminium)
- Engine castings (aluminium engine cases, gearbox housings)
- Catalytic converters where fitted (smaller than car cats but still PGM-bearing)
- Copper wiring harness — small but recoverable on larger bikes
- Lead-acid batteries (12V or 6V)
- Alloy wheels and brake disc carriers
- Stainless and steel exhaust sections
Indicative per-kg rates — motorcycle stream
| Material category | Indicative SGD/kg | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed motorcycle ferrous (frame + steel parts) | S$0.18 – S$0.28 | Stripped of plastics, glass, foam |
| Aluminium engine castings | S$1.20 – S$1.80 | Drained, clean of bolts ideally |
| Aluminium alloy wheels | S$1.40 – S$2.00 | Tyres removed first |
| Copper harness (small) | S$4 – S$7 | Mixed grade typical of bike loom |
| 12V lead-acid battery | S$0.60 – S$0.90 | Per-kg incl. case |
| Catalytic converter (large bike, OEM) | S$30 – S$80 per unit | Per-unit, model-dependent |
Indicative only. Bikes are smaller than cars so the per-vehicle metal recovery is modest — typical stripped bike yields S$30–S$120 in metal value. Catalytic converters where fitted (common on larger bikes from 2008+) add the largest single line item.
Workflow for motorcycle dealers and workshops
- Strip the bike after deregistration — remove tyres, seat foam, fairings, plastic trim, fuel tank residual.
- Send a photo and rough weight on WhatsApp. For repeat-volume workshops we'll set up a standard pricing template.
- Drop off at 170 Gul Circle — bike metal is small enough that drop-off is usually simplest, even from a single van load.
- On-site weigh and grade — ferrous separated from aluminium, copper harness graded separately, cat and battery priced per unit.
- Same-day payment — cash for walk-ins, PayNow for trade accounts.
Who supplies us motorcycle metal
- Motorcycle dismantlers — pulling parts (engines, fairings, suspension) for the used market, then offloading the metal remainder
- Workshop and exhaust specialists — accumulating replaced exhausts, cats and brake components
- LTA-appointed dealers handling end-of-COE bikes — the metal stream from larger fleet disposals (delivery rider stock, ride-hailing scooters)
- Mobile mechanics and roadside operators — smaller volumes, drop-off at the yard
Frequently asked questions
Do you buy whole motorcycles?
No. We buy the metal stream from already-stripped bikes. Whole running motorcycles need to go through an LTA-appointed scrap car dealer for deregistration first.
What needs to be removed from a bike before it comes to your yard?
Tyres, seat foam, fairings, plastic trim, fuel tank residual, foam grips. The frame and engine castings should arrive predominantly metal.
Are catalytic converters on motorcycles worth anything?
Yes, for larger and newer bikes. Smaller scooters often run no cat or a very small one. Bikes from 250cc upwards (especially 2008+ Euro-compliant models) carry recoverable PGM content. We price per-unit on inspection.
Can a workshop drop off accumulated bike metal weekly?
Yes. Workshops with regular volume can move to a standing rate and consolidated payment cycle. WhatsApp us to set this up.
Do you collect, or is it drop-off only?
Drop-off is simplest for typical motorcycle metal volumes. For larger consolidated loads (a tipper or container after a fleet disposal) we arrange collection.
Do you handle the LTA paperwork for the bike?
No. We are not an LTA-appointed scrap car dealer. Deregistration is the LTA-appointed dealer's function; we buy the metal afterwards.
