Scrambler Seizure Fees Double | Belfast News

Starting August 14th, the cost to reclaim your seized scrambler doubles—aimed at deterring illegal riding and covering enforcement expenses. After a full ban took effect in April, Gardaí now have stronger powers to remove these bikes from roads, and higher fees ensure they stay off. Minister Seán Canney emphasizes accountability: riders must pay for their own removal and storage. Smaller bikes (up to 3,500kg) now cost €250 for seizure, transport, and first day, plus €70/day after. Larger bikes (over 3,500kg) start at €500 plus €100/day. This financial hit is a clear message: illegal scramblers won’t be cheap to keep on the street. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
