How to transport multiple motorcycles at once

Is it legal to use a trailer to transport multiple motorcycles? Is it safe? These are some of the most common questions surrounding this activity. There are various reasons why someone may want to transport several motorcycles in a single trip. But it's essential to understand that you must comply with a series of regulations and stipulations established by law to primarily ensure safety on the road.

Whether you’re out of town, need to move one or more motorcycles to a workshop, transport brands or models with higher engine capacities or off-road bikes, or need to take it to a racing circuit, these are just some of the scenarios where using an appropriate trailer becomes necessary. But which trailer is recommended?

Legality and Safety

Everyone knows that just by driving on a road, they are subject to restrictions and traffic rules. Certain safety measures prevent some decisions from being made freely. This is the case with vehicle transport—carrying a motorcycle in a van can result in a fine of over €3,000 or leave you without any insurance coverage in case of an accident. This situation could be quickly resolved by using one of the trailers specifically designed for these purposes.

Transporting a motorcycle is not simply about placing it in a van or trailer to reach its destination; it also requires taking measures to ensure it is transported in the best conditions.

We are referring to special mixed vehicles that incorporate a trailer attached to the car with a secure hitch. These safety measures in driving must be followed by all drivers, whether transporting one or more motorcycles.

Preparatory Measures for Transporting Two Motorcycles

It’s essential to follow the necessary instructions to secure two motorcycles on the same trailer. The first priority is ensuring the trailer has the technical features required to safely transport multiple motorcycles. Once you are confident that the manufacturer provides this option, follow the specific instructions to keep the motorcycles secure with the correct straps, supports, and anchors.

An important point to note is the maximum weight limit for these vehicle and trailer combinations, which must not exceed 3,500 kg under any circumstances. The trailers we manufacture at Littleway are categorized as light trailers, so you won’t encounter issues regarding weight limits on the road. Additionally, they meet homologation standards and certifications to guarantee their safe use.
