Bike Shifting in Jalahalli West, Bangalore
Most petrol bikes and scooters carry a small lead acid battery under the seat or behind a side panel. When it is healthy, nobody thinks about it. When it is old, it can swell, crack or seep acid, and a truck journey with the bike tied down at an angle is exactly when a weak battery leaks.
Battery acid is corrosive. A seeping battery can eat into the paint, the frame and the wiring around it. On a truck, it can drip onto the bed, onto the straps and onto whatever is stacked beside the bike. A carton of books or a mattress next to a leaking battery is ruined.
So check the battery before moving day.
Open the seat or the side panel and look. A healthy battery has flat sides and a dry top. Warning signs are sides that bulge outwards, a white or green crust around the terminals, wetness or staining around the case, a crack, or a sharp smell. If the bike has been hard to start recently, or the horn and lights are weak, the battery is probably near the end of its life anyway.
If it looks healthy, clean the terminals, check that the battery is held firmly in its bracket, and that the vent tube, if there is one, is connected and not kinked. A loose battery rattles and can crack on a long run.
If it is bulging, crusted or wet, don't try to move it as it is. The best option is to replace it before the move. A new battery costs little compared with the damage an old one can cause, and you'll need one soon anyway. Have the mechanic take the old one away; used batteries should go back to a shop or dealer for recycling, not into the household rubbish.
If you can't replace it in time, disconnect it. Take the negative terminal off first, then the positive, and tape the terminals. If it is leaking, remove it from the bike altogether and tell us. A leaking battery cannot travel on the truck with the household goods, but the bike can go without it.
Watch the charger too, if you use one. Some owners keep a small trickle charger connected to a bike that is rarely ridden. Unplug it and pack it with the bike's papers, not loose in a carton, and don't connect it again at the new home until you've checked the battery is sound.
Tell us about the battery when you book, especially if it's been giving trouble. The crew will check it at pickup too, and will not load a bike with a battery that is visibly leaking.
If the bike will stand for a while after the move, before you are settled enough to ride it, leave the battery disconnected until then. A connected battery slowly drains through the bike's alarm or clock, and a week or two of that can leave a healthy battery flat on the first morning you need it.
At the other end, reconnect it positive first, then negative, or fit the new one. Check the bike starts before the crew leave.

Scooter and Scooty Shifting in Jalahalli West
A scooter usually keeps its battery below the floor or seat, and scooter and scooty shifting in Jalahalli West means lifting that cover to look. Check for bulging, crust and wetness, and replace a doubtful battery before the move. Scooters often sit unused, which shortens a battery's life.
EV Scooter Shifting in Jalahalli West

Two Wheeler Transport from Jalahalli West to Other Cities

Before Your Bike Is Collected in Jalahalli West
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.
