Motorcycles and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also not easy to protect when transported. However, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with transport we have. It is feasible to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without troubles, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the type of transportation. Owing to some valuable tricks you will avoid any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are moving your motorcycle on a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially created for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only two strapping belts. It is 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 shipment.

It is also worth looking at the sharp angles or elements that may possibly rip the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also doable to transport a motorbike in a truck. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing worth considering will be installing the side pads to secure the insides of the van and other objects that may be transported next to the motorbike.

There are also platforms that hooked to a car or van, can let you ship your motorbike not occupying the whole space in the van.

Remember to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to carry your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a van could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
