Motorcycle Towing in Brooklyn & Staten Island
A motorcycle cannot be loaded the way a car can. BK Towing & Collision takes motorcycle towing requests across Brooklyn and Staten Island and confirms how the bike will be secured before a truck is sent.
How this service works
Dropped bikes, seized engines, snapped chains and motorcycles left after a collision all need different handling than a car. The usual approach is a flatbed with the front wheel secured in a chock and soft straps over the bars, or an equivalent method suited to the machine. We ask what happened, whether the bike is upright or down, whether it is a low-slung sportbike or a heavy cruiser, and where it needs to go before deciding what to send.

Frequently asked questions
How is a motorcycle loaded?
Typically on a flatbed with the front wheel held in a chock and soft straps securing the bike, using fittings that avoid contact with fairings and exhaust. The exact method depends on the machine.
Can you tow a dropped bike?
In most cases yes. Tell us it is down on its side and we will plan for that rather than arriving expecting an upright vehicle.
Can you tow a scooter or moped?
Yes, subject to size and condition. Call with the type of vehicle and where it is.
Can you tow a trike or a heavy cruiser?
That depends on weight and access. Give us the model and the pickup location and we confirm what can be sent.
Where can the bike be taken?
To your repair shop, your home or another address you nominate — confirm the destination when you call.
Do you cover Staten Island?
Yes. Brooklyn is our primary service area and Staten Island is fully covered.
