Do you tow all types of motorcycles?

Yes. We tow sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, dirt bikes, and scooters. Our equipment can handle everything from lightweight 250cc bikes to heavy touring models over 800 pounds.

Can you tow a motorcycle with custom parts?

Absolutely. We take extra care with custom bikes, especially those with aftermarket exhausts, fairings, or lowered suspensions. Just let us know about any special features when you call so we can prepare the right equipment.

How much does motorcycle towing cost?

Motorcycle towing typically costs less than car towing because bikes are lighter and easier to load. We provide upfront pricing based on your location and destination, so you know exactly what to expect before we start the job.

Why Motorcycles Need Special Towing Equipment

Motorcycles are not like cars. They are lighter, more balanced, and they have exposed parts that can be damaged easily if not handled correctly. Towing a motorcycle with the wrong equipment can scratch paint, bend forks, damage the frame, or ruin expensive components.

SmartLane Oak Park Towing provides specialized motorcycle towing services for riders in Oak Park, IL and the surrounding areas. We use wheel chocks, soft straps, and tie-down systems designed specifically for motorcycles. Our team knows how to secure bikes properly so they arrive at their destination in perfect condition.

Common Reasons Riders Need Motorcycle Towing

Bikes break down just like cars. Sometimes it is a mechanical issue. Other times, it is an accident or a flat tire that leaves you stranded. Here are the most common situations where riders call us for help:

Engine failure: Your bike will not start or shut off while riding.
Flat or damaged tires: You cannot ride on a flat, and not all bikes have spare tires.
Accidents: Even minor accidents can make a bike unsafe to ride.
Electrical problems: Dead batteries or wiring issues can strand you far from home.
Long-distance transport: Moving your bike to a new city or buying a bike out of state.

If your motorcycle just needs a quick fix, we also provide roadside assistance for motorcycles, including jump starts, fuel delivery, and tire repairs when possible.

How We Tow Motorcycles Safely

When you call us for motorcycle towing, we dispatch a truck equipped with the right tools to handle your bike. Our driver arrives with wheel chocks, soft tie-down straps, and a flatbed or trailer designed for motorcycle transport.

We secure your motorcycle using multiple tie-down points, making sure the weight is balanced and the suspension is slightly compressed. This prevents the bike from bouncing or shifting during transport. We never use hooks, chains, or rough straps that could scratch or dent your bike.

We also handle long-distance motorcycle towing for riders who need to move their bike across state lines or hundreds of miles. Whether you are relocating, buying a bike from another state, or recovering a bike after a breakdown during a trip, we can get your motorcycle where it needs to go safely.
