Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles require specialized towing equipment and techniques that are completely different from car towing. You cannot simply hook a bike to a standard tow truck and drag it down the road. Motorcycles are lighter, have only two wheels, and can easily tip over or sustain damage if not secured properly. At EliteEdge Edina Towing, we understand these unique challenges and have the right equipment to transport your motorcycle safely. Whether you ride a cruiser, sport bike, touring bike, or dirt bike, we provide professional towing services in Edina, MN designed specifically for two-wheeled vehicles.

Standard car towing methods do not work for motorcycles because bikes need to be secured upright and balanced during transport. If a motorcycle tips over or shifts during the tow, it can suffer scratched paint, bent handlebars, damaged fairings, or even frame damage. Our drivers are trained in proper motorcycle loading and securing techniques. We use wheel chocks, soft straps, and tie-down systems that hold your bike firmly in place without causing any damage. We also understand the importance of protecting chrome, painted surfaces, and delicate components during transport.

Another key difference is the loading process itself. Motorcycles need to be rolled or winched onto a flatbed or trailer using a ramp. The angle of the ramp, the speed of loading, and the balance of the bike all matter. Our drivers have experience handling all types of motorcycles, from lightweight sport bikes to heavy touring bikes that weigh over 900 pounds. We take the time to load your bike carefully and secure it properly, so you can trust that it will arrive at its destination in perfect condition.

There are many situations where motorcycle towing becomes necessary. Breakdowns are one of the most common reasons. If your bike will not start, overheats, has engine problems, or suffers a mechanical failure while you are on the road, you need a way to get it home or to a repair shop. Trying to push a heavy motorcycle any distance is dangerous and impractical. Calling us for motorcycle towing is the safe and smart choice. We arrive quickly, load your bike professionally, and take it wherever you need it to go.

Accidents are another reason riders need motorcycle towing. Even minor accidents can leave a bike unrideable due to bent forks, damaged wheels, or broken controls. If you have been in an accident, do not attempt to ride your motorcycle away from the scene. The damage may be more serious than it looks, and riding a compromised bike puts you at risk of further injury. We work with insurance companies regularly and understand the documentation needed for claims. Our team can coordinate with law enforcement and help get your bike to a repair shop or storage facility while you focus on your safety and recovery.

Here are some common situations when you should call for motorcycle towing:

• Your motorcycle will not start or has engine failure
• You were involved in an accident and your bike is not safe to ride
• You need to transport a bike you just purchased
• Your motorcycle ran out of gas and you are far from a station
• You are moving and need to transport your bike to a new location
• Your bike needs to go to a shop for major repairs or maintenance
• You want to take your motorcycle to a rally, event, or track day

Motorcycle towing is also useful for planned transport. Maybe you bought a bike from a private seller and need it delivered to your home. Or you are taking your motorcycle to a track day and do not want to ride it there on the street. We provide both emergency towing and scheduled transport services, so you can call us whenever you need reliable motorcycle towing.

When you call EliteEdge Edina Towing for motorcycle transport, we start by asking about your bike and your situation. We need to know the make and model, the current location, and where you want it taken. This helps us send the right equipment and give you an accurate price estimate. Our pricing is upfront and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Once you approve the quote, we dispatch a truck to your location. Most calls are handled within 30 minutes, depending on your location and current traffic conditions.

When our driver arrives, they assess your motorcycle and prepare for loading. We use specialized equipment including wheel chocks, ratchet straps, and soft tie-downs designed for motorcycles. The bike is carefully rolled or winched onto the flatbed or trailer using a low-angle ramp that minimizes stress on the suspension and frame. Once the bike is positioned, we place wheel chocks to hold the front wheel steady. Then we attach soft straps to secure the bike upright. These straps are tightened evenly to keep the motorcycle stable without compressing the suspension too much.

During transport, your motorcycle is monitored to ensure it stays secure. Our drivers avoid sudden stops, sharp turns, and rough roads whenever possible. We treat your bike like it is our own because we know how much it means to you. Whether you ride a vintage Harley, a modern sport bike, or a custom cruiser, we handle it with the care and respect it deserves. When we arrive at the destination, we carefully unload your bike and place it exactly where you want it.

We also provide long-distance towing for motorcycles if you need to transport your bike across state lines or to a distant location. Whether you are relocating, attending a rally, or buying a bike from another state, we have the experience and equipment to get your motorcycle there safely. Our long-distance motorcycle transport follows the same careful procedures as local jobs, ensuring your bike arrives in perfect condition no matter how far it travels.
