Who uses bike transport in Carmelaram
Most of the people who call us from Carmelaram for bike transport fall into a few groups. IT and office workers being moved to another city. Students finishing college and going back home. Families shifting out of Bangalore who want the bike sent along with their household goods. People who've sold a bike to someone in another city. And riders who just bought a bike in a different part of town and don't want to ride an unregistered or unfamiliar machine through traffic. Each of these is a little different, so we ask a few questions before quoting rather than reading out a fixed rate.
Getting your bike ready
A little preparation helps. Have the RC, insurance and your ID handy. Leave just a litre or less of fuel in the tank. Remove mirrors only if they're the screw-on kind and you're comfortable doing it; otherwise our team will wrap them. Empty the under-seat storage of scooters, because loose items there can rattle and scratch the inside. Take a few photos of your own on your phone too. Our team will note any existing dents or scratches with you, but having your own photos from Carmelaram gives you peace of mind.
How we pack your bike
Here's how we actually pack a bike. First, the team walks around it with you and writes down any existing marks. Then the fuel tank, which scratches easily, gets a layer of foam and a layer of corrugated sheet. The headlight, indicators, mirrors and speedometer get bubble wrap. The handlebar ends and levers are padded because they're the parts that touch the vehicle wall if anything shifts. For bigger motorcycles we also cover the exhaust and the side panels. Then the whole bike is wrapped in stretch film so the padding stays in place. It's loaded up a ramp, not lifted by four people, and tied at several points so it stays upright for the whole trip.
Bike shifting within Bangalore from Carmelaram
Not every bike move is long distance. Plenty of people in Carmelaram call us to take a bike just a few kilometres, to a new flat near Attibele, to a service centre, or from a seller's house to theirs. For these short trips within Bangalore we still wrap the bike and use a proper vehicle with a ramp. It's often less stressful than riding a bike you don't know yet through city traffic, and it means you don't need someone to drop you back.
Sending your bike from Carmelaram to another city
For bikes going from Carmelaram to other cities, we send them either in a shared vehicle carrying several bikes and household loads on the same route, or in a dedicated vehicle if you need it quickly or it's a high-value machine. Shared transport costs less and suits most people. Popular routes from Bangalore include Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Kochi, Coimbatore, Delhi and Kolkata, but we can send bikes to most towns that have a road. Delivery times depend on distance and how full the route is; we'll give you a realistic estimate when you book, not the fastest number we can think of.
Papers you'll need
You'll need a copy of the RC and insurance, plus ID for whoever hands the bike over in Carmelaram and whoever receives it. If you're moving to a different state permanently, the RTO rules about re-registration apply after some time. We can't do that part for you, but we're happy to tell you what other customers have usually needed. For exact requirements, the RTO in your new city is the right place to ask.
Transit insurance
We also offer transit insurance for bikes. It's optional and priced separately, based on the declared value of the bike. For newer or more expensive motorcycles, we'd suggest taking it. Your normal two-wheeler insurance usually doesn't cover the bike while it's in a transport vehicle, so it's worth asking your insurer if you're unsure. We'll explain what the transit cover includes before you decide.
Pickup tips for Carmelaram
Every building in Carmelaram is a bit different. Some societies want a gate pass for vehicles, some basements have low ceilings, and some lanes are too narrow for a larger truck. Tell us about your building when you call. If needed, we'll send a smaller vehicle or wheel the bike out to the main road. It's better to sort this out on the phone than to find out on the day.
What it costs
The cost of sending a bike from Carmelaram depends on four things: the distance, the size and weight of the bike, whether it goes shared or dedicated, and whether you want transit insurance. A scooter going a short way inside Bangalore is at the low end. A heavy cruiser going to Delhi in a dedicated vehicle is at the high end. We'll give you a written figure before pickup, and that's what you pay unless you change the plan. There are no extra "loading charges" added at the gate.

Bike transport questions from Carmelaram
Do you pick up bikes from Carmelaram?
Yes. We collect scooters and motorcycles from homes, apartments and offices in Carmelaram and nearby areas like Dommasandra and Chandapura.
Can I send my bike without the rest of my household goods?
Yes. We send bikes on their own all the time. It goes in a shared or dedicated vehicle depending on your budget and timing.
How much petrol should I leave in the tank?
Very little, around a litre or less. A full tank isn't safe in a closed vehicle.

We pack it carefully every time. If you want financial cover, take our optional transit insurance; we'll explain it before you decide.
Can you deliver to someone else at the other end?
Yes. Just share their name and phone number. They'll need an ID, and they should check the bike before signing.
