Motorcycle Towing in Surrey & Metro Vancouver — Specialist Equipment
Tow Jet Towing
Motorcycle Towing
Motorcycles are not small cars. A standard tow truck treats them that way — and that’s how you end up with exhaust pipes dragged across a loading ramp and tank paint scratched by an improperly placed strap. Tow Jet Towing dispatches motorcycle-specific carriers with front wheel chocks and soft frame straps. Your bike is transported upright, secured correctly, with no bodywork contact during loading or transit.
You’re riding eastbound across the Pattullo Bridge into New Westminster when your chain lets go completely. The rear wheel locks briefly, you get it stopped on the bridge shoulder — which is a dangerous place to be. Traffic is moving at highway speed 1.5 metres to your left.
You call Tow Jet Towing. We treat any bridge breakdown as a priority dispatch. Driver arrives in 30 minutes, parks correctly behind you for traffic protection, and loads your bike using the front wheel chock to hold it upright — no leaning against the truck, no improvised stands. Bike goes to your shop in Surrey. You’re off the bridge.
How the Process Works — Step by Step
From your call to Motorcycle Towing and getting you back on the road, our simple, fast process ensures help reaches you without delay.
1. (604) 217-8300 — tell us immediately it’s a motorcycle (affects truck type dispatched)
2. Provide your location, bike make, model, and year
3. Dispatcher quotes and sends the nearest GPS-tracked motorcycle carrier
4. Driver arrives, positions truck safely behind you
5. Front wheel chocked in the carrier — bike held fully upright
6. Bike transported to your mechanic, dealership, home, or storage
2. Cruisers and touring bikes (Harley-Davidson, Indian, Honda Gold Wing, BMW R-series).
3. Naked and standard motorcycles.
4. Dirt bikes and dual-sport/adventure bikes (KTM, BMW GS, Honda Africa Twin).
5. Scooters and mopeds.
6. Electric motorcycles (Zero, Energica, Harley-Davidson LiveWire).
7. Custom, chopper, and vintage motorcycles
A standard wheel-lift or flatbed tow truck without motorcycle-specific equipment will lean the bike on its side against the truck body during transport, drag the exhaust pipe on the loading ramp, or use straps attached to handlebars (which can crack controls and bend bars under load). None of this is acceptable for a vehicle worth thousands of dollars. Our motorcycle carrier solves all three problems by design.

Frequently Asked Questions — Motorcycle Towing
Will my bike be scratched during towing?
With a front wheel chock and soft straps at frame contact points, there is no metal-to-metal contact and no bodywork pressure during transport. When loaded correctly, towing leaves no marks.
Can you tow a bike that's fallen over?
Yes. We handle accident and tip-over recovery. Describe the situation when you call — if the bike is on its side, we’ll walk through the right approach for your model.
How do you secure the bike so it doesn't fall in transit?
The front wheel chock locks the front wheel in a fixed position. Soft straps are then attached at frame points — compressing the front suspension slightly to create downward preload tension. The bike cannot tip with the chock engaged.
Can you tow a dirt bike or off-road motorcycle?
Yes — most dirt bike frames and wheel sizes fit standard motorcycle carriers. Let us know the bike type when you call.
Can you tow my motorcycle long distance?
Yes. Long-distance motorcycle hauling across BC is available. Call for logistics and pricing.
I need to move my bike for seasonal storage — can you help?
Yes. This is a scheduled non-emergency transport. Call us to arrange a time. We handle end-of-season storage moves across Metro Vancouver.
What if the frame or wheels are damaged from an accident?
Damaged geometry changes how we load and secure the bike. Describe the damage when you call and we’ll determine the safest approach.
Do you transport bikes across the Province?
Yes — within BC. Call for a long-distance quote with your origin and destination.
