Motorbikes and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also difficult to secure when transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with transport we have. It is doable to transport a motorbike or a moped without hussle, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the method of shipment. Owing to some valuable tips you could prevent any scratches, and dents that could happen when a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are moving the motorcycle on a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only two strapping belts. It's crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one should not open up accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or items that may possibly tear up the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also reasonable to transport a motorbike in a van. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorcycle standing safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the car and other objects that may be transported just next to the motorbike.

There are also platforms that hooked to a car or another vehicle, can let you ship your motorcycle not occupying the entire space in the van.

It is important to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be enough to ship your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden platform for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a van could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause substantial damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
