Secure movement for motorcycles

Motorcycle Recovery and Transport

Recovery and planned transport for motorcycles subject to condition, access and secure-loading requirements.

Motorcycles require a different securing approach from cars. AtWheel can review broken-down, non-running and planned motorcycle movements across Hampshire, including collection from homes, garages, dealers and suitable roadside positions.

Tell us the make and model, whether the bike rolls, whether the steering is free and whether there is accident damage. Side cases, top boxes, lowered suspension and large touring models can change the space and securing points required.

When this service is useful

  • Broken-down motorcycles
  • Dealer and private-sale collections
  • Non-running project bikes
  • Accident-damaged motorcycles once safely released
  • Planned delivery to a home, garage or specialist

Information for secure motorcycle loading

Confirm whether the wheels rotate, the steering turns and the machine can be held upright. Mention flat tyres, locked steering, damaged handlebars, leaking fluids or broken stands.

Remove or secure loose luggage and accessories. Where keys are missing or steering is locked, tell us before collection.

The collection point should provide enough safe working space. A motorcycle down a narrow side passage, in a basement or behind steps needs individual assessment.

Motorcycle Recovery & Transport questions

These answers are general. The live vehicle, position and access still need to be checked.

Can you recover a motorcycle after a puncture?

Yes, subject to a safe collection position and the motorcycle's condition.

Can you collect a bike with locked steering?

Possibly, but this must be known in advance so the loading method can be assessed.

Can you collect from a dealer?

Yes. Supply the dealer contact, release authority and opening hours.

Do you transport scooters?

Scooters and other motorcycles can be reviewed using their size, weight, condition and access details.
