Ducati Multistrada (No. 6525642)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only expensive, but also not easy to protect while being transported. Although, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with transport we have gathered. It is feasible to transport a motorcycle or a moped without obstacles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of transportation. Owing to some valuable tips you could avoid any scratches, and dents that often happen if a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are transporting your motorcycle using a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is created for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only two strapping belts. It is neccessary to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one should not open up by accident during the transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or items that may possibly cut the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also doable to transport a motorcycle in a van. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorcycle mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration is installing the side pads to protect the insides of the truck and other objects that will be transported just next to the motorcycle.

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

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to transport your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a truck could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.

Many of these companies can organise the transport, so that they can use the full capacity of their cars. Thanks to that, transport gets cheaper and more eco-friendly with decreasing number of ”empty running”.
