Motorcycles and scooters are not only valuable, but also hard to secure when transported. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with transport we had gathered. It is feasible to transport a motorcycle or a scooter without troubles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the type of transportation. Thanks to some useful tricks you can avoid any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen if a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are transporting the motorbike on a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially created 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 essential 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 cut the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also doable to transport a motorcycle in a truck. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorbike installed safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing to be considered will be installing the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the car and other objects that might be transported just next to the motorbike.

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

Check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be enough to ship your motorcycle. For instance, 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.
