The motorcycle shipping methods we use in transporting bikes
To deliver bikes to various destinations, we can use any of the following methods:
- Shipping via rail, which is an in-land method of transportation. The bike is transported in a cargo train and it may then be picked at the terminus or delivered to an address, depending on the preference and convenience of the recipient.
- Shipping via road, another in-land transport method which is commonly used to make deliveries to various locations. Since there is a good road network, our drivers can make deliveries with relative ease. The bike may be transported in an open truck, a flatbed truck or on a motorcycle trailer.
- Shipping via air, which is the fastest means of transportation yet the most expensive option. Cargo planes are used to transport the bikes.
- Shipping via water, which is a cheaper but slower alternative to shipping via air. Cargo ships transport the bike from port to port.

This can be done by removing the bike accessories, cleaning the bike, checking the engine, the tire pressure and the fluids levels. You should also ensure that any faulty parts are fixed by a professional. It is also expected that you ensure that the gas is at a maximum level of a quarter of the tank capacity.
