Let's deal with the paperwork aspect first so we can get it out of the way.
You should always consider selling your bike yourself. Keep in mind that, if you "trade-in" your vehicle, any dealership is going to keep anywhere between 10% and 50% of the bikes value (meaning they're going to pay you that much less than what they ultimately sell it for). If they take on the risk of buying a bike in an unknown condition from you, you bet they are going to need to make a profit to make that worthwhile. Not only that, but they can't have your bike taking up space for months. They need to price it to sell fast to whoever walks through the door. It's not possible to wait for the ideal buyer who's looking for this exact bike, and is willing to pay dearly for it.
The moral of the story is that selling a vehicle yourself is always going to make you a substantially larger payday (provided you put in the effort). While you might be nervous or insecure regarding how to go about it, the process is pretty straightforward and it wasn't designed to make things difficult for you.
Regarding paperwork, there are a few documents you are going to want to have at hand. I'm simply going to post what I used should anyone want to use it as a reference.
While you're at it, get a FLHSMV Vehicle Information check (or your state's equivalent). All it takes is a title and VIN number, and it will let you know if there's any lien on the vehicle, number of previous owners, etc. This is something you want to check for errors, and then save as a PDF to give to the buyer or provide the link for them to check themselves. If you have a lien on the vehicle, get it settled and your title in hand before proceeding.

Finally, you may or may not have an up-to-date license plate for the vehicle. If you transferred the plate to another vehicle (or let it expire), but still need a license plate for test drives, you can request a Temporary License Plate at your local tag agency. In Florida it costs 10$ (currently), only lasts 1 month, and you can only request it once (allegedly). On the bright side, explaining why you have an expired temporary tag (if it expires before you sell it) is much easier then explaining why someone is test driving your bike with no tag at all.
Note: Tax-wise, there is seldom anything to worry about. I mean income tax here. You will rarely if ever get more for the vehicle than what you paid for it, so you shouldn't have to pay taxes on whatever is made (though check for your particular situation).
And so I don't know, for the manufacturers that do make bikes for kids, if their intention is to try to add more safety elements because as I see it now, there are no e-bikes designed for children. Because in reality, these manufacturers don't want children on e-bikes. And again, I'm referring to children, the ages of eight to 16. Now, a 15-year-old is going to be much better equipped to operate an e-bike obviously than an eight-year-old or a nine-year-old or a 10-year-old, but it still is going to have safety concerns regardless of the age, right? So the number one thing as a parent, if you're going to let your child ride an electric bike, is to take the time to educate them. Take the time to, number one, explain the rules of the road, and walk them through. Now, I know this is going to be difficult for an eight-, nine-, or 10-year-old to have the attention span to do this. In my opinion, if they can't learn the rules of the road, they can't operate an e-bike.
And I see so many children right now riding in the middle of streets, turning on busy streets, riding in the middle of a street that's 40 miles an hour. And there are certain elements that they need to understand: if there's a bike lane, they have to go in the bike lane. If they can't keep up with the speed of traffic, you can't ride in the middle of traffic. There are certain things about going through red lights, turning on yellows, and the way you stop at signs. If you're a bike on the street, you're a car, right? You need to stop at signs. So there are things that you need to spend time on. Perhaps there are some online courses you could administer to them or sit with them and walk them through. I would just say that's a very, very important thing if you want to do that.
Number two, if you're going to put them on an e-bike, spend time with them in a parking lot teaching them, and educating them. Don't throw them on an electric bike and hope that they're going to operate it. Watch them, learn with them, ride with them. Make sure you're witnessing them, and operating them in a safe manner. Watch how they go up curbs. Watch how they use the throttle. Watch how they use the pedal assist. Now, there's no government-mandated training for electric bikes, but as an adult, we can watch other riders and say, "That's not safe." Or "He's not operating that safely." Or "You know, that's stupid. Don't do that," right? Now, I'm not saying that to your child, but we'd be thinking in our head that it's a bad decision to turn left into an opposite incoming traffic or whatever it may be. So yeah, I think it's important. Ride with them, educate with them. Take it slow, right? Don't wrap up an electric bike, put it under the Christmas tree and all of a sudden say, "Cool. You're off and running. Go do whatever you want," right?
