Motorbikes and scooters are not only expensive, but also not easy to secure when transported. Though, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with transport we had gathered. It is possible to transport a motorbike or a moped without problems, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the method of transportation. Thanks to some helpful tips you can avoid any damages, and dents that are likely to happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are moving your motorcycle using a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially dedicated for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only 2 strapping belts. It is essential to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up accidentaly during the transport.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or objects that may possibly cut the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also doable to transport a motorcycle inside a van. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorcycle resting safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing worth considering will be the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the truck and other objects that might be transported with the motorbike.

There are also platforms that attached to a truck or van, can let you transport your motorbike without occupying the whole space in the truck.

Remember to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to transport your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorcycle and loading it in a van could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
