Bike Registration

Bicycles or E-bikes operated on campus must be registered and the permit affixed to the bike. Bike permits accepted on MSU’s campus include Bike Index, City of East Lansing, City of Lansing, Lansing Township, and Meridian Township. University ordinances must be followed such as being parked and locked at a bike rack, having the registration sticker displayed, and the bike being in operable condition. Failure to meet these requirements will result in bike impounded by Parking Services.

Personal E-scooters operated on campus must be registered with Bike Index and the permit affixed. E-scooters may be parked and locked at bike racks or designated moped parking areas once registered. Using the Bike Index link below, make sure to note during registration that the permit is for a scooter and not a bike.

Register to get your permit!

MSU Parking Services has partnered with Bike Index, the most widely used bicycle registration service in the world. By using your bike’s serial number, manufacturer, and component information, the bike is registered with a free permit that does not expire. Bike Index allows users to add photos of their bike to their account, update the bike registered to their permit, or transfer permit/bike ownership to another individual. Users can also report their bike as missing or stolen in the Bike Index system.

Select the button below to get started with your bike registration. Permits will be available for pickup after three business days from the Visitor Center on Trowbridge Road.
