Bike Broken Down? We Reach You Anywhere and Carry It Secured, Not Scratched
One call to Recovery Giant and a specialist bike unit is on its way. Your motorcycle is carried on a flatbed and secured with purpose-built kit — wheel chocks, frame supports and soft ties, not the improvised strapping that damages bikes.

No app, no membership to remember. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to your bike arriving safely.
Call or WhatsApp Us With Your Location and Bike

A Bike Unit Is Dispatched
Our control room sends the nearest unit with motorcycle kit from our 105-strong fleet and nationwide partner network. Most UK riders are reached in under 45 minutes.
Chocked, Strapped and Carried
Your bike is loaded up the ramp and the front wheel locks into a chock, then soft straps secure the frame — never the bars or forks. It's carried upright and stable to your destination.
What Is Motorcycle Recovery?
Motorcycle recovery is collecting a bike that can't be ridden — after a breakdown, accident, puncture or non-start — and carrying it upright on a flatbed, secured with a wheel chock and soft frame straps, to your garage, home or chosen destination. It's the safe alternative to towing a bike on its wheels. Recovery Giant reaches most UK riders in under 45 minutes, fully insured, with no membership.
How We Secure Your Bike
Motorcycles aren't cars. They need proper kit and someone who knows how to use it. Here's exactly how we keep your bike damage-free, from load to delivery.
The wheel chock
The front wheel locks into a purpose-built chock that holds your bike upright and stable — no leaning on a side-stand, no wobble. It's the foundation of a safe load: the bike sits the way it's meant to, then we secure it.
See how flatbed transport worksSoft straps — on the frame, not the forks
Soft ties go on the frame and solid mounting points, never the bars, forks or levers. Ratchet straps crushed onto forks can blow the seals, and straps dragged across fairings crack them. We strap your bike the way it should be — firm, padded and in the right places.

call 020 3006 0095Carried Upright, Never Dragged
A motorcycle can't be towed on its wheels like a car. Here's why every bike we move goes on a flatbed, locked upright in a chock.
Can you tow a motorbike on its wheels?
No. A motorcycle can't balance on its own, so it's always carried on a flatbed with the front wheel locked in a chock and the frame softly strapped. That keeps it upright and damage-free — the only safe way to move a bike.
Dropped, Damaged or Won't Start?
Down in the road, damaged in a crash, or simply won't start — your bike is handled with care and carried wherever it needs to go. Here's how.
Careful with a damaged bike
After an accident, we make it simple
- Trained for damaged bikes — bent forks, locked wheels and leaking fluids handled with care.
- SORN, no MOT or non-runner — fine to move; we're transporting, you're not riding.
- Insurer, garage or home — delivered wherever your repair or claim needs it.
- If your bike needs a different approach, we'll tell you before we load — no surprises.
My bike's been dropped — can you still recover it?
Yes. Dropped and accident-damaged bikes are our everyday work. We assess it, protect the damaged areas and load it carefully so nothing gets worse on the way.
Can you move a bike with no MOT or SORN?
Yes. As long as we're transporting it and you're not riding, a bike with no MOT, SORN status or that won't run can be moved to a garage, storage or home without issue.

Motorcycle Recovery Questions
The things riders ask us most — answered plainly. Still stuck? Just call.
What is motorcycle recovery?
Motorcycle recovery is collecting a bike that can't be ridden — after a breakdown, accident, puncture or non-start — and carrying it upright on a flatbed, secured with a wheel chock and soft frame straps, to your garage, home or destination.
How do you secure a bike for transport?
The front wheel locks into a wheel chock to hold the bike upright, then soft straps go on the frame and solid points — never the bars, forks or levers. Padding protects the paint and fairings, and we check for zero movement before setting off.
Can you tow a motorbike on its wheels?
No. A motorcycle can't balance on its own, so it's always carried on a flatbed with the front wheel in a chock and the frame strapped. That keeps it upright and damage-free.
Do you recover scooters, mopeds and electric bikes?
Yes. We recover scooters, mopeds, electric motorcycles and every kind of bike — from 50cc commuters to superbikes and adventure bikes. An electric bike is carried and secured just like any other.
Can you move a non-runner, SORN or no-MOT bike?
Yes. As long as we're transporting it and you're not riding, a bike that's a non-runner, SORN or has no MOT can be moved to a garage, storage or home without issue.
Can you recover an accident-damaged or dropped bike?
Yes. Dropped and accident-damaged bikes are everyday work. We assess the bike, protect the damaged areas and load it carefully so nothing gets worse on the way to your repairer or home.
Do I need a membership?
No. There's nothing to join and nothing to renew. You pay per job, only when you need us, with the price confirmed upfront.
How fast can you reach me?
Most UK riders are reached in under 45 minutes. We give you an ETA the moment you call and keep you updated until we arrive.
