Piaggio Beverly Sport Touring (No. 7263013)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only expensive, but also difficult to protect when transported. However, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with transport we have gathered. It is possible to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without obstacles, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the type of transportation. Owing to some helpful advice you can prevent any damages, and dents that often happen if a moped or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are transporting the motorcycle on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only two strapping belts. It is essential 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 transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or items that may possibly cut the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also reasonable to transport a motorcycle inside a van. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorcycle standing 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 protect the insides of the car and other objects that may be transported next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or van, can let you transport your motorcycle not occupying the entire space in the van.

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