Motorcycle Towing Ottawa

Motorcycle towing in Ottawa requires a completely different approach than towing a car. You cannot hook a chain to a motorcycle and drag it behind a truck. That is how fairings get cracked, handlebars get bent, and a $500 tow turns into a $3,000 repair bill. Ontario Towing uses flatbed trucks with soft straps and wheel chocks for every motorcycle we move. No exceptions.

How we keep your bike safe during towing

Our motorcycle towing method

1
Flatbed truck onlyYour bike rides on a flat platform. It never touches the road during transport.
2
Front wheel locked in a chockA steel chock holds the front wheel straight and prevents the bike from rolling or tipping.
3
Soft ratchet straps at four pointsFabric straps attach to the handlebars and rear frame. No metal hooks touch your paint, chrome, or plastics.
4
Slow, careful loadingWe walk the bike up a ramp or use the flatbed's hydraulic tilt. No dropping, no rushing.

Types of motorcycles we tow in Ottawa

We tow sport bikes like the CBR600, R6, and Ninja 650. Cruisers like the Harley-Davidson Softail, Indian Scout, and Vulcan. Touring bikes like the Gold Wing and Road Glide that weigh over 400 kg. Dual-sport and adventure bikes like the KLR650 and Africa Twin. And scooters like the Vespa and Honda PCX. Every bike gets the same careful flatbed treatment regardless of size or value.

If a tow company shows up with a wheel-lift truck for your motorcycle, send them away. Wheel-lift trucks are built for cars. Using one on a motorcycle is how bikes tip over in transport. Always ask for a flatbed with soft straps before agreeing to a motorcycle tow.

When Ottawa riders call us most

Spring and fall are our busiest motorcycle seasons. Riders pulling bikes out of winter storage in April find dead batteries, flat tires, and seized chains. In October, bikes head back to garages and storage units. Between those bookends, we handle breakdowns on Calabogie Road, accident recoveries on the 417, and dealership pickups across the city.
