Bike Shifting in Kodihalli
On a bike, the parts that stick out are the parts that break. Mirrors on their stalks and the clear screen at the front take the knocks when a two wheeler is rolled, tilted and tied down. Kodihalli households already treat glass at home with care. The same thinking works for a bike.

Bike Shifting in Kodihalli, Bangalore
Kodihalli, along the Old Airport Road, is a mix of older colony houses and newer flats, and people who have moved house here before usually know that glass needs its own plan. Mirrored wardrobe doors come off, table tops travel alone, and nobody leaves a dressing table mirror bolted on and hopes for the best. A bike has its own version of this: two rear view mirrors on thin stalks, and on many scooters and some motorcycles, a clear windshield or visor at the front.
Those parts are where transit marks tend to appear. A mirror stalk sticks out beyond the handlebar, so it is the first thing to touch a wall when a bike is walked through a narrow gate, the first thing to meet a strap when the bike is tied down, and the easiest thing to knock when a second bike is loaded beside it. A windshield is lighter than it looks and flexes under pressure. None of this is dramatic. It is simply where the attention should go.
So the first decision is yours: do the mirrors come off or stay on? Many mirrors unscrew from their mounts with a spanner in a couple of minutes. If you are comfortable doing that the evening before, wrap each one in a cloth, put them in a labelled bag and keep the bag with you or hand it to the crew to travel alongside. Our crew does not unbolt parts fitted to your bike, so if you would rather not touch them, they stay on and we protect them where they are.
Mirrors that stay on get folded in or turned toward the tank where the design allows, then wrapped in padding and tape that does not mark the paint. The crew places the bike on the vehicle so the mirrors face away from the wall and away from the next bike. Straps go through the frame, not over the handlebars where they would press on the stalks.
Windshields and visors stay on as fitted. The crew covers the screen with soft padding so nothing rubs its face in transit, and keeps straps well clear of its edges. A tall aftermarket screen or a cracked one is worth mentioning at booking, because the crew will want to see how it is mounted before loading. If the screen already has a chip or a hairline crack, point it out at pickup so it is written down.
The Old Airport Road stretch is slow in both peaks, so Kodihalli collections go best mid morning or early afternoon. The main road frontage usually gives the vehicle a place to stand, and newer buildings have lifts or ramps, which keeps the walk from basement to vehicle short. In older colony houses, narrow side gates are where mirrors get knocked, which is one more reason to fold them in before the bike moves at all.
Scooter and Scooty Shifting in Kodihalli
Most scooters have a small front visor above the headlamp and mirrors mounted on the handlebar cover. On a scooty the mirror stalks are short and often unscrew by hand. If yours do, take them off and tape the threaded holes so dust does not get in. If they are stiff, leave them. The crew will wrap them in place.
The visor on a scooter is usually part of the front panel and not meant to come off. It gets a layer of padding and the scooter is placed with its front clear of anything else on the vehicle.
EV Scooter Shifting in Kodihalli
Many electric scooters have a larger front screen and slimmer mirrors than petrol models, and the plastic panels can be thin. The crew pads the screen and the panel edges before strapping. When you book, name the EV's model and tell us about its battery, so the handling is planned before the day.
If your electric scooter has a display or a phone mount near the handlebar, remove the phone and any clip on cable before collection. The mount itself stays as fitted.
Two Wheeler Transport from Kodihalli to Other Cities
On a longer journey to another city, mirrors and windshields matter more, simply because the bike is on the vehicle for more hours and more kilometres. Taking the mirrors off yourself and carrying them is a sensible step for an interstate move. Two wheeler transport out of Kodihalli is charged by distance, with the figure on paper first.
When the bike arrives, refit the mirrors before riding. It is easy to forget when you are unpacking a household, and riding a few kilometres without mirrors on unfamiliar roads is not a good start in a new city.

Getting Your Bike Ready in Kodihalli
Try your mirrors with a spanner a few days before the move. If they turn easily, take them off the evening before. If they are seized, leave them for the crew to wrap.
Keep removed mirrors in a bag with the bike's keys, labelled left and right. Mirrors are often handed and a swapped pair sits at the wrong angle.
Look at the windshield in daylight and note any existing chips. Glass and clear plastic both hide small marks until the light catches them.
If your building's side gate is narrow, fold the mirrors in before the crew arrives. That is where they get knocked most often on Kodihalli's older plots.
Avoid the peak hours on the Old Airport Road. A collection that starts at eight in the morning spends its first hour in traffic.

Before Your Bike Is Collected in Kodihalli
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 Kodihalli: Questions People Ask
A bike moved within Bangalore comes to at least Rs 2,500 and rarely more than Rs 5,500, set mostly by distance. Taking the mirrors off yourself does not change the figure. You get it in writing before booking.
If they unscrew easily, it is a sensible step, especially for a long journey. If they are stiff, leave them. The crew folds and pads them in place.
No. We do not unbolt parts fitted to your bike. Mirrors that stay on are folded in, turned toward the tank where possible and wrapped.
It stays fitted. The crew covers it with soft padding and keeps straps away from its edges, so nothing presses on it.
Point it out at pickup so it goes on the condition note. The crew will pad it with extra care, but a crack that exists before the move is best recorded.
Wrap each one in a cloth, label it left or right, and put both in a bag with the keys. Carry the bag yourself or hand it to the crew.
Often, yes. Many scooty mirrors turn off without tools. Tape over the threaded holes afterwards so grit does not get in.
Mention it at booking. The crew will look at how it is mounted and pad it before strapping, and may place the bike at the end of the row.
Through the frame, low down. Straps over the handlebar press on the mirror stalks and the grips, which is exactly what we want to avoid.
Yes. They are placed so their mirrors do not face each other, with padding between them.
Yes. The screen and panel edges are padded. Let us know on the booking call which EV it is and what battery it carries.
It is priced by distance like any bike. Describe the model and its battery, and the crew will plan the handling around them.
Yes. It is quoted by distance. For a long route we suggest taking the mirrors off yourself and carrying them.
Take the phone and any loose cable off. The mount stays as fitted, since we do not unbolt fitted parts.
Mid morning or early afternoon. The Old Airport Road is slow at both peaks.
Usually on the main road frontage, which has space. From older colony houses the crew walks the bike out through the gate.
Only for the mirrors. Fold them in before the crew arrives, and the bike will go through without touching the gatepost.
Yes, on the same vehicle, from Rs 2,999. It is loaded after the fragile glass items are secured, in its own space.
Tell us, and either take it off or let the crew tape it firmly in place. A loose mirror swings in transit and marks the tank.
They stick out sideways, so the crew pads them and places the bike with clearance on both sides. They stay as fitted.
Look at the screen in good light and sit on the bike to check the mirror angles before signing. Small shifts in angle are normal after wrapping.
Yes, and do it before your first ride. Match left and right, tighten them, then set the angle sitting on the bike.
Yes. Our Bangalore storage takes bikes by the week, at a rate fixed after we look at yours.
Because they stick out. A mirror stalk is the widest point of most bikes, so it meets gateposts, walls, straps and other bikes before anything else does. Folding, padding and careful placement on the vehicle deal with nearly all of it.
In a different way. A visor rarely shatters, but it scuffs easily and can crack at its mounting screws if something presses on it. That is why the crew pads its face and keeps every strap away from it.
We would rather you did not. The seat space should be empty, and loose mirrors rattle around in there. Keep them wrapped in your own bag, or hand them to the crew in a labelled bag of their own.
Call +91 90908 28210 and mention whether your bike has a windshield, and whether the mirrors will come off. The quote comes back in writing.
Cover for the journey rests on the figure you declare. That is why marks on mirrors and screens are written down at pickup, so any change is easy to see.
