Motorcycles and scooters are not only valuable, but also difficult to protect when transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we gained. It is doable to ship a motorbike or a scooter without problems, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the method of transportation. Owing to some useful advice you could avoid any damages, and dents that are likely to happen when a scooter or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are transporting the motorcycle on a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only 2 belts. It is crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up by accident during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or objects that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also doable to transport a motorbike in a truck. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle resting safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing worth considering will be the installation of the side pads to secure the insides of the truck and other objects that might accompany the motorcycle.

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

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