What Is Motorcycle Towing?

Motorcycle towing requires specialized equipment and techniques that differ completely from standard vehicle recovery. Our crews use hydraulic loading ramps and wheel chocks specifically designed for bikes, along with soft straps that won't scratch fairings or damage delicate components. The process starts with securing the motorcycle in an upright position using our trailer's integrated tie-down system — we never drag or winch a bike onto our equipment like some operators do.

When you call for motorcycle towing, our driver arrives with a dedicated bike trailer or flatbed equipped with motorcycle-specific restraints. We'll assess your bike's condition, check for fluid leaks, and document any existing damage before loading. The loading process involves rolling or winching your motorcycle up our low-angle ramp, then securing it with multiple tie-down points that distribute pressure across the frame rather than the handlebars or footpegs.

Our EV-certified crews are trained on electric motorcycle systems from Zero, LiveWire, and other manufacturers — we know how to safely disconnect high-voltage systems and transport these bikes without triggering error codes. For sport bikes, we use bar harnesses that protect clip-ons and rearsets. Cruisers get frame-specific tie-downs that work around saddlebags and touring accessories.

Every motorcycle transport includes wheel chocks fore and aft, plus side stabilization to prevent the bike from shifting during transport. We carry extra straps, soft loops, and protective padding because every bike has different attachment points and vulnerable areas that need protection during the tow.

When Do You Need Motorcycle Towing?

Freeway Breakdown During Commute

When your bike dies on the 805 or I-15 during rush hour, we can safely extract you and your motorcycle from live traffic lanes.

Post-Accident Recovery

After a collision, damaged motorcycles need careful handling to prevent further harm to bent forks, cracked fairings, or twisted frames.

Dead Battery Won't Start

Modern bikes with complex electronics often won't push-start, requiring towing when the battery dies at work or on weekend rides.

Electric Motorcycle Transport

EV bikes need specialized handling to avoid damage to charging ports, high-voltage systems, and sensitive electronic components.

Track Day Trailer Service

When your sport bike breaks at the track, we can transport it safely without risking additional damage from makeshift loading.

Seized Engine Won't Roll

Motorcycles with locked-up engines require winch loading since they can't be pushed or rolled onto our trailer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you tow motorcycles without keys?
Yes, we can tow motorcycles without keys as long as you can prove ownership through registration or title. We'll need to winch the bike onto our trailer since we can't release the steering lock or put it in neutral.
Can you transport motorcycles with aftermarket modifications?
We regularly handle modified bikes including lowered suspensions, extended swingarms, and custom fairings. Our crews adjust tie-down points and use additional padding to protect aftermarket components during transport.
Do you provide motorcycle towing during rush hour traffic?
Our trucks are pre-positioned along major commuter routes during peak hours specifically for rapid motorcycle recovery. We average 18 minutes response time even during heavy traffic on the 805, I-15, and SR-52 corridors.
How do you secure motorcycles during transport?
We use a minimum of four tie-down points with soft straps, plus wheel chocks and side stabilizers. The bike stays upright and secure throughout transport, with additional padding protecting vulnerable areas like mirrors and fairings.
