Motorbikes and scooters are not only expensive, but also difficult to protect when shipped. Though, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with transport we had gathered. It is feasible to transport a motorbike or a moped without problems, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of transportation. Thanks to some valuable tricks you can prevent any damages, and dents that often happen if a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are moving the motorbike on a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is created for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only 2 strapping belts. It is important 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 transport.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or parts that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also feasible to transport a motorcycle in a truck. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing to be considered is the installation of the side pads to secure the insides of the car and other objects that will be transported next to the motorbike.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or another vehicle, can let you transport your motorbike without occupying the entire space in the truck.

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