Motorbikes and mopeds are not only valuable, but also hard to protect while being transported. However, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we have. It is feasible to ship a motorcycle or a moped without problems, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the method of transportation. Thanks to some valuable advice you could prevent any scratches, and dents that may happen when a scooter or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are transporting your motorcycle on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is designed for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only 2 strapping belts. It is crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook will not open up accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or elements that may possibly cut the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also possible to transport a motorbike in a van. The protection and equipment obligatory to keep the motorbike standing safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing to be considered will be installing the side pads to protect the insides of the van and other objects that might be transported just next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or van, can help you transport your motorcycle not occupying the entire space in the truck.

Check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to ship your motorbike. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your scooter 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.
