Vespa GTS 300 x 2 (No. 6683095)

Motorcycles and mopeds are not only expensive, but also difficult to protect while being shipped. However, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with transport we gained. It is doable to ship a motorcycle or a moped without problems, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of transportation. Thanks to some valuable tricks you will prevent any damages, and dents that may happen if a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are transporting the motorcycle using a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially created for motorbikes 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 will not open up accidentaly during the transport.

It is also worth looking at the sharp angles or parts that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also possible to transport a motorcycle 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 before. One thing to be considered will be the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the van and other objects that might be transported next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a truck or another vehicle, can let you ship your motorbike not occupying the whole space in the truck.

Remember to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will suffice to transport your motorbike. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
