Motorcycles and scooters are not only expensive, but also hard to protect while being shipped. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with transport we have gathered. It is doable to transport a motorbike or a moped without obstacles, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the type of transportation. Owing to some useful tricks you could prevent any damages, and dents that often happen when a scooter or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are moving your motorcycle on a trailer you will need four 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 case you will need only two belts. It is important to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook 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 hinder your efforts. It's also doable to transport a motorcycle inside a van. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorbike installed safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing to be considered will be the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the truck and other objects that might accompany the motorbike.

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

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

Many of these providers can organise the transport, so that they can utilise the full capacity of their cars. Thanks to that, the service gets cheaper and more eco-friendly with less and less ”empty running”.
