Motorbikes and mopeds are not only expensive, but also difficult to protect when transported. Though, it turns out that most of it depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we gained. It is feasible to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without problems, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the mean of shipment. Owing to some helpful tips you will avoid any damages, and dents that are likely to happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are shipping your motorbike on a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is designed for motorcycles or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only two belts. It's neccessary 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 parts that may possibly cut the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also possible to transport a motorbike inside a van. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorbike installed safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing worth considering will be the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the car and other objects that might be transported with the motorbike.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or another vehicle, can help you transport your motorcycle without occupying the entire space in the car.

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be enough to ship your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden platform for lifting your scooter and loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause substantial damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
