Motorcycles and scooters are not only valuable, but also difficult to secure when transported. Although, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we gained. It is doable to transport a motorcycle or a moped without hussle, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the mean of transportation. Thanks to some valuable tips you can prevent any scratches, and dents that often happen if a moped or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are transporting the motorbike on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only 2 belts. It's important 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 transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or objects that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also possible to transport a motorbike inside a van. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorcycle resting safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be installing the side pads to secure the insides of the truck and other objects that might be transported just next to the motorcycle.

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

It is important to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be enough to ship your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
