Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle
When shipping your bike, we may use the following methods:
- Shipping via road: Most common option for interstate shipping.
- Shipping via water: Best for destinations that have a port.
- Shipping via air: Best option when delivery is required as fast as possible. We do our best to negotiate for affordable air freight charges.
- Shipping via rail: Cheap but slower method of transportation.
You may opt to have your bike shipped in a wooden crate, open container or an enclosed container. We support requests to have bikes delivered via door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal services.
How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping
The preparation of your motorcycle includes the following activities:
- Having professionals to do maintenance on it.
- Washing your bike thoroughly.
- Disabling the alarm system.
- Checking the tire pressure.
- Checking the engine.
- Checking the fluid levels.
- In case you will be using the crated shipping option, you will have to disconnect the battery and drain the fluids.
The above-mentioned activities are the basic motorcycle preparation activities. In some cases, different motorcycle shipping companies may have their additional requirements for the preparation of a motorcycle for shipping.
