Bike Shifting in Banashankari 3rd Stage
An older house with a narrow compound gate and a passage to the back yard was built when a bike was a lot narrower than today's scooters. Before the carrier arrives, a tape measure settles whether yours will go through. It takes two minutes and saves a dented mirror.

Bike Shifting in Banashankari 3rd Stage, Bangalore
Houses in Banashankari 3rd Stage carry their history in their openings. A spiral staircase or a mezzanine tells you a room was squeezed in later, and the same is true of the gate in the compound wall, the door into the passage and the turn round the corner of the house. They were cut for people and for the bikes of their day. A modern scooter, mirrors out and handlebar wide, is bigger than any of them expects.
This matters because a bike that does not clear the gate is a bike that has to be handled, and handling a two wheeler in a tight space is where scratches happen. A mirror catches the gate post, a footrest scrapes the wall, a handlebar end leaves a line across the door frame. None of it is serious, most of it is avoidable, all of it goes into an argument later if nobody wrote down what was there before.
So measure. Take a tape and a torch and do four things. Find the narrowest point between the bike's parking spot and the road, which may be the gate, a door or a pinch in the passage. Note its width. Then measure the bike across the widest part, handlebar end to end or mirror tip to mirror tip, whichever is greater. Finally check the height of anything overhead along the route, a lintel, a porch beam or a hanging pipe, against the tallest part of the bike, which may be a windscreen, a top box or a rear carrier. If the bike is narrower than the gap by a hand's breadth on each side it goes through without fuss. If it is narrower by less than that, say so when you call.
What happens then depends on the bike and the opening. Mirrors that fold should be folded. A handlebar can be turned to a slight angle. A gate leaf that is latched half open might swing wide if somebody unbolts it. And where none of that helps, the crew may tilt the bike carefully with two people, or ask you whether the gate post can give a little. We will not force a bike through a gap that scratches it. If it truly cannot pass, the carrier stops where it can, the wall is left alone and the conversation turns to whether the bike can leave another way.
The phone survey asks for exactly these details: the gap, the bike's width and the overhead height, written down. Our crew arrives knowing roughly what it is dealing with, and the quote can reflect an extra pair of hands if the passage is tight.
The spiral stairs and mezzanines that some of these houses have are a big question for furniture, and the Banashankari 3rd Stage packers and movers page covers them. This page keeps to the bike.
Scooter and Scooty Shifting in Banashankari 3rd Stage
Scooters and scooties carry the widest handlebars relative to their size, because the mirrors sit high and out. Measure from the tip of one mirror to the tip of the other with the handlebar straight. If you usually park the scooter nose in, tell us which way it faces, since turning it round in a yard is a job in itself. Empty the seat storage, take off any loose bag and leave the helmet indoors.
A motorcycle has a longer wheelbase, which makes turning in a passage harder even when the width is fine. If yours has panniers or crash bars, add their reach to the measurement, since those stick out further than most people remember.
Whichever you ride, stand it on its side stand or centre stand in the open yard for the tape. Measuring a bike that leans in a corner gives you the wrong number, and you will find out at the gate.
EV Scooter Shifting in Banashankari 3rd Stage
Electric scooters tend to be heavier than petrol ones of the same size, because of the pack, and they are wheeled by hand when the power is off, so a tight gate is more work than it looks. Name the scooter and say if the battery is the sealed kind or a pack you can lift out. Carrying details for it, and any ID the receiver has to show, are sorted on the booking call. A scooter with a removable battery is lighter to manoeuvre if the pack is taken out first, but only do that if the manual says it is safe.
Two Wheeler Transport from Banashankari 3rd Stage to Other Cities
A bike leaving a 3rd Stage house for another city goes by carrier. Bike transport to Chennai, Hyderabad or Kochi is charged by the kilometre according to the size class of the vehicle and is fixed on paper ahead of time. We agree timing by phone and do not print a count of days. The measuring you did at home is also useful at the other end, so ask the new place about its gate and its parking bay.

Getting Your Bike Ready in Banashankari 3rd Stage
Measure twice, once yourself and once with the person who will be at home on the day. Write the three numbers on a slip of paper: the narrowest gap, the bike's widest point and the tallest overhead height.
Clear the route. A bucket of water, a flowerpot or a cycle leaning on the passage wall can be the difference between clean passage and a mirror scrape, so move them the evening before, not while the crew is standing in the lane. Ask the neighbours not to park a car across the gate mouth that morning, since a car nobody can move is a blocked gate whatever the tape measure says.
Look at the gate itself. Old gates sag on their hinges and open only partway, and a bolt that has not been drawn for years may need oil. Try it a day before, not while the crew waits.
Take a photograph of the bike standing in its spot and another of the route to the gate, they help us plan the crew.
And leave the steering free if you can do so safely, because a locked handlebar is a stiff fight in a narrow passage.

Before Your Bike Is Collected in Banashankari 3rd Stage
Fuel
Ride the tank down to reserve in the days before collection. A small amount is fine; a full tank is not wanted on a loaded vehicle.
Papers
Photocopies of the RC, the insurance policy and your photo ID travel with the bike. Keep the originals, especially the RC, with you. If the RC is not in your name, mention it when you book.
Condition record
Photograph the bike from every side and at the odometer. The crew also notes its condition at pickup, and you keep a copy of that note.
Insurance
Transit insurance is available on a value you declare. Keep the bike's own motor insurance valid for the journey as well.
At delivery
Check the bike against the pickup note and your photographs before signing, and point out anything new while the crew is still there.
Handover
If someone else will hand over or receive the bike, tell us who when you book, and we will confirm what they need to have with them.
What a Bike Move Does Not Include
- We do not ride your bike to the new address. It travels on a vehicle, standing upright and strapped at the frame.
- Ride the tank down to reserve before pickup. A near empty tank is safer on a loaded vehicle.
- We do not repair, service or start a bike that will not start. Tell us at booking so it is loaded the right way.
- Helmets, jackets and tools travel in a carton or with you, never strapped to the bike.
- RC transfer, address change and re-registration in a new state are yours to do, or an agent's.
Bike Shifting in Banashankari 3rd Stage: Questions People Ask
Measure the narrowest gap between the bike and the road, then measure the bike across its mirrors or handlebar, whichever is wider. Also check the height of anything overhead along the route.
A city move is priced somewhere between the two ends of the local band, which are Rs 2,500 and Rs 5,500, and a tight passage that needs an extra pair of hands pushes the figure toward the top.
Both are in the same city range. What changes the figure is how many hands the gate needs, rather than the size of the engine.
Yes, with more effort. It is heavier than a petrol scooter and must be pushed by hand, so tell us the model when you book.
Yes, by carrier, with the price charged per kilometre for the vehicle size. We agree timing on the booking call.
We try folding the mirrors, angling the handlebar or opening a fixed half of the gate. If none works, we talk to you about another exit or a different place for the carrier to stand.
Not on purpose. The whole point of measuring first is so the crew can decide how to move the bike without touching the wall.
If they fold by hand, yes, please do it the night before. If they need a tool, leave them and tell us.
Enough to hit a low lintel. Measure the tallest part of the bike against the lowest thing overhead on the route.
If there is a second exit and it is wide enough. Tell us about it, since it may be easier than the front gate.
The price follows the kilometres and the size of the vehicle, and it is quoted in writing before pickup, tolls included.
Close to reserve, with only a splash left. A bike that may have to be tilted in a passage should not carry a full tank.
Yes, for owners whose new home has no parking bay yet. The price is fixed after a survey visit.
You or a named person. Someone should be there to open the gate fully and sign the condition note.
Yes, upright and strapped, with padding at the contact points. It is wheeled out and never ridden.
Yes, if they go to the same address, and you then pay one combined figure.
Photocopies of RC, insurance and ID. The originals stay with you. Mention it on the call if a parent's name is on the RC.
Tell us. A rail at ground level can trip the wheel, and we may ask for a ramp or extra hands.
Often, tied down upright and away from furniture, from Rs 2,999. The furniture side sits on the packers page for this stage.
The key is needed to free it. Leave the key with a person who will be there, and tell us if the lock is stiff.
Give three numbers: the gap, the bike's width and the overhead height. A quick photograph of the passage helps more than words.
Yes, on the declared value you give.
The crew wheels the bike to the vehicle. If the distance is long, tell us so the right number of hands come.
Not for the bike, as long as it never has to use the stairs. If it is kept on an upper level, tell us, because a two wheeler on a spiral stair is a different job.
If the neighbour agrees, yes. A plank or ramp over a high threshold saves the crew from lifting the bike, so tell us when it is there.
Call +91 90908 28210. Have the gap, the bike's width and a contact number for pickup day to hand.
