Bike Transport

There are three main methods for bike transport:

Driving – Simply driving the motorbike to its destination may be the quickest option – but when time or mileage is of the essence, it might be best to look into bike movers.

Shipping – If the motorbike is to be shipped internationally, shipping it as a standard crate may be cheaper than a motorbike transporter. To do this, the motorbike is secured into a large crate, and delivered to a shipping depot. For short journey distances, this option may be overkill as packaging a motorbike into a crate can be difficult and time consuming.

Bike transport company – Bike movers are much like any other courier company, but instead specialise in bike delivery. They can often be organised quickly and can complete the bike transportation from A to B. Motorcycles need to be handled and transported in a particular way and with the right precautions. Bike transportation companies are experienced in packaging and securing motorcycles securely. They will also have professional equipment at hand including loading ramps, wheel clamps and ratchet straps to ensure a safe journey. Bike transport will be carried out either in a dedicated van, or it will be securely placed alongside other motorbikes, allowing the cost to be split between customers, thus lowering the final price.
