Bike Shifting in Pulikeshi Nagar
Just as a fridge should travel upright, so should a bike. Laid on its side, a motorcycle can leak oil into places it shouldn't, spill fuel from the tank breather and battery acid from an old battery, and scratch a whole flank. In Pulikeshi Nagar, as everywhere, ours stand upright, strapped at the frame. Ask any mover you compare how they load.

Bike Shifting in Pulikeshi Nagar, Bangalore
People in Pulikeshi Nagar know the fridge rule well: keep it upright, wait before switching it on. Fewer have thought about the same question for a two wheeler. It comes up when a cheap quote arrives from someone with a small open vehicle, and the bike, it turns out, is going to be laid down on its side on a mattress to fit.
Here is why that matters. A motorcycle or scooter is designed to sit on its wheels. Engine oil sits in the sump. Fuel sits in the tank, which breathes through a vent. Older bikes have lead acid batteries with liquid inside. Laid on its side for an hour or two, a bike can push oil into the air filter and the combustion chamber, which makes it smoke or refuse to start. Fuel can seep from the breather or the carburettor onto hot or painted parts. An old battery can leak acid onto the frame. And the whole side resting on the floor of a moving vehicle collects scratches on the tank, the mirror and the lever.
None of that happens when the bike stands up. Ours go up a ramp onto the carrier, stand on their wheels, and are strapped at the frame, not the handlebars, with padding at the points where straps touch. The front wheel sits in a chock or against a stop so it can't turn. It is slower to load than laying a bike down, and it is the right way.
Side stands are another detail. A bike resting on its side stand during transit leans, and every bump pushes it further. Ours travel on their wheels with the stand up, held by the straps and the wheel chock, never propped and leaning.
So when you compare quotes, ask the plain question: will my bike travel standing up? If the answer is vague, or involves the word mattress, think again.
There is one more reason to stand it up. Ride it down to reserve before the move, as we always ask, and very little fuel is left to slosh about anyway. Together, the low tank and the upright position keep everything where the factory put it.
The Pulikeshi Nagar packers page explains the fridge rule. The bike rule is the same idea on two wheels.
Scooter and Scooty Shifting in Pulikeshi Nagar
Scooters get no exception in Pulikeshi Nagar; scooter and scooty shifting here stands them up too. A scooter is light enough that some movers lay it down without thinking, and its plastic panels scratch even more easily than a motorcycle's tank. Ask how it will travel, and expect the answer to be standing up and strapped.
EV Scooter Shifting in Pulikeshi Nagar
Electric scooters have no oil or fuel, but their batteries and wiring are not meant to sit on their side under load either, and the panels scratch just the same. Ours travel upright. Let us know the maker and the battery arrangement, and the transit charge level is agreed when you book.

For a long run to another city, the upright rule earns its keep over hundreds of kilometres of bumps and braking. The carrier is billed per kilometre on your corridor, you see the written sum before collection, and the bike stays on its wheels from loading to delivery.

Getting Your Bike Ready in Pulikeshi Nagar
Families in the older buildings here often keep a bike in a narrow passage beside the stairs. Our crew walks it out upright as well, never tipping it to squeeze past a pillar. If the passage is too tight, the mirrors come off first.
When comparing movers, ask in writing: will the bike travel standing up, and how is it strapped? Keep the answer.
A week before, ride the tank down towards reserve.
If your bike has an old style battery with caps on top, mention it at booking. Check the electrolyte level is not overfilled, because that is the battery most likely to weep acid even when upright. On the morning, watch it go up the ramp and see the straps go on the frame.
Moving the whole household too? Our packers and movers in Pulikeshi Nagar page covers the house move, and a bike can travel on the same vehicle.

Before Your Bike Is Collected in Pulikeshi Nagar
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.

- 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.
