Safe Bike Transportation
With Careful Protection
A motorcycle might be smaller than a car, but its exposed parts scratch far more easily during loading or transit. Mirrors, headlights, painted panels, fuel tanks, chrome exhausts - all of it needs the right kind of protection. OM Relocation's bike transportation service covers that with multi-layer packing, specialized carriers, safety straps, GPS tracking, and delivery right to your door.
It works well whenever you're moving to another city, switching jobs, relocating with the family, or just don't want to ride the bike across a long distance yourself.
Pre-Move Inspection & Multi-Layer Protection
1. Pre-Move Inspection
Everything starts with a pre-move inspection. Before loading, the bike's condition gets documented, and fuel and battery safety checks are run through as well. Paperwork-wise, expect to have the RC Book, valid two-wheeler insurance, a PUC certificate, and a government photo ID for the owner ready to go. That leaves both sides - customer and transport team - with a shared, clear picture of the bike's condition before anything gets packed.
2. Four Layers of Protection
Motorcycles go through a 4-layer protection system at OM Relocation. First, protective stretch film covers the paintwork. Thick foam padding follows around mirrors, exhausts, and headlights. Then comes heavy bubble wrap around the fuel tank, topped off with a sturdy corrugated outer cover. Each layer is suited to the specific part it's protecting - shape and surface both factored in.
For premium motorcycles, luxury cruisers, and sports bikes, custom wooden crating is also on the table. Internal wheel-locking clamps and heavy foam cradling keep the bike stable inside the crate.
3. Secure Positioning During Transit
Once it's packed, a specialized motorcycle stand holds the bike upright. High-tensile nylon ratchet straps take over from there, attaching to dedicated anchor points so the motorcycle can't tip or knock into other cargo along the way. For most jobs, purpose-built two-wheeler carriers get the call - though enclosed carriers are there too, for moves that need that extra layer of protection.
GPS Tracking, Doorstep Delivery & Fuel Guidelines
GPS Tracking and Doorstep Delivery
Wherever the bike is in transit, GPS tracking runs continuously so you can keep tabs on it. Doorstep pickup and delivery are both built into the service - the team picks the bike up from the agreed location, takes care of packing and loading, then gets it to the destination.
On arrival, the bike gets unloaded and uncrated, and a final joint inspection happens right at the customer's doorstep. Transit insurance is also an option for anyone wanting extra financial protection along the way.
Fuel Requirements
For safety and to stay compliant with carrier rules, the petrol tank should be nearly empty before loading - the website recommends keeping it under roughly 0.5 to 1 litre.
Worth checking your fuel level before the packing team shows up.

Case Study: A Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Moved 1,500 KM
One of OM Relocation's motorcycle case studies follows a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 that travelled from Pune to Gurgaon - around 1,500 km. Double-layer foam protection went around the fuel tank, mirrors, and exhaust, while the tyres were anchored down with heavy-duty ratchet tie-downs. The bike made the trip inside an enclosed two-wheeler carrier.
“Rohan Ghosh mentioned he'd been especially worried about the chrome silencers. According to his review, the wrapping team covered every chrome and painted surface with multi-layer bubble wrap and foam, and the bike arrived at his society gate in Gurgaon without a single issue.”
