Piaggio vespa LX 50 cc (No. 5893774)

Motorcycles and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also hard to secure when shipped. Although, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with transport we had gathered. It is possible to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without troubles, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the method of shipment. Owing to some useful tips you can prevent any damages, and dents that may happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are moving your motorbike using a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially created for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only two belts. It is 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 items that may possibly rip the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also possible to transport a motorbike inside a van. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle standing safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing worth considering will be the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the car and other objects that will be transported with the motorcycle.

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

Check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be enough to ship your motorbike. For instance, 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.
