Shipping A Trike

How to Ship a Trike

When shipping a trike, there are a number of details you must attend to, from finding a shipper, to negotiating costs, setting a shipping date, and preparing the documentation.

By Air

According to customer feedback, when it comes to international shipping, doing it by air is the cheapest option. Unfortunately, transporting a trike or motorcycle is currently considered dangerous by many U.S. airlines, so you’ll rarely find one willing to carry it. You can try calling each one by phone, but the general immediate answer tends to be NO.

By Sea

On the other hand, shipping by sea is still a viable option, though subject to higher costs and longer travel times. The cost of transportation is usually determined by your ride’s weight and the distance across which it will be shipped. For example, heavy duty trikes may cost more to transport due to their construction.

Shipping by sea is often the only way to transport your mount from Europe or Asia, but delays are prevalent due to weather conditions and other complications.

By Land

Shipping a trike by land is made much easier by professional transporters. They take care of most of the hassle and inform you on how to get past customs. Importing a Spyder, Harley or Honda trike poses no problems to our A1-Auto Transport team, but to get past the border, it must respect U.S. safety, bumper and pollution standards.
