Moto Guzzi California EV (No. 7157367)

Motorbikes and mopeds are not only worth a lot, but also hard to protect when shipped. Although, it turns out that the majority depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with transport we got. It is doable to transport a motorcycle or a moped without problems, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the mean of transportation. Owing to some useful advice you can avoid any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen if a scooter or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are shipping your motorcycle using a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is created for motorcycles or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only 2 belts. It's 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 checking the sharp edges or parts that may possibly rip the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also doable to transport a motorbike inside a van. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle resting safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration is the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the car and other objects that will be transported just next to the motorbike.

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

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to carry your motorbike. For example, using a wooden stand 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 severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
