Vespa ET4 125 (No. 7302694)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only valuable, but also hard to protect when shipped. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we gained. It is feasible to transport a motorcycle or a moped without problems, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the type of transportation. Thanks to some helpful advice you will prevent any scratches, and dents that often happen if a scooter or motorbike is not properly cared for.

When you are moving the motorcycle using a trailer you will need 4 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 2 strapping belts. It is crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up accidentaly during the transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or elements that may possibly tear up the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also doable to transport a motorcycle inside a truck. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorbike resting safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration 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 just next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or another vehicle, can let you ship your motorcycle without occupying the whole space in the truck.

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