Motorcycle Towing

Your Bike Deserves Special Care

Motorcycles aren't cars. They're more delicate, they balance differently, and towing them the wrong way can cause serious damage. You can't just drag a bike up on a regular tow truck and hope for the best. At CitySummit Portage Towing, we understand motorcycles and we have the right equipment to transport them safely.

Whether you ride a cruiser, sport bike, touring motorcycle, or dirt bike, we can handle it. We've been towing bikes around Portage, MI since 2024 and our drivers know how to secure every type of motorcycle properly. Your bike will arrive at its destination in the same condition it left, with no scratches, dings, or mechanical issues.

How We Transport Motorcycles Safely

We use flatbed trucks with specialized motorcycle wheel chocks and soft tie-down straps. Here's why our method works:

• •Wheel chocks for stability: Your bike stands upright and secure, held in place by a front wheel chock
• •Soft straps: We use padded straps that won't scratch your paint, chrome, or bodywork
• •Proper tie-down points: Straps attach to the frame and handlebars, never to fragile parts
• •Balanced tension: We apply even pressure to keep your bike stable without compressing the suspension too much
• •Flatbed transport only: Your bike never touches the ground during the tow

When to Call for Motorcycle Towing

Riders need towing for all kinds of reasons. Your bike might have broken down on the side of the road. Engine problems, electrical failures, and flat tires happen to even the most well-maintained motorcycles. When that happens, you can't just push it home.

Maybe you bought a bike that doesn't run yet, or you're moving and need to transport your motorcycle to a new city. Some riders call us after an accident when the bike isn't rideable anymore. Whatever your situation, we'll get your motorcycle loaded safely and delivered to your home, a repair shop, or wherever you need it to go.

We also handle long-distance motorcycle transport if you're buying or selling a bike out of state. For local jobs, we typically arrive within 30 minutes anywhere in Portage. For longer hauls, we'll coordinate timing and keep you updated throughout the journey.

We Tow All Types of Motorcycles

Different motorcycles need different handling, and we've worked with them all. Cruisers and touring bikes are heavy and low, so we're careful about ground clearance during loading. Sport bikes have fairings and bodywork that can't be scratched, so we use extra padding and gentle tie-down tension.

Dirt bikes and adventure bikes have tall suspension travel, which means we secure them differently than street bikes. Vintage and classic motorcycles get white-glove treatment because we know they're not just transportation. They're investments and pieces of history. We've even towed custom choppers with extended front ends that require special attention during loading. If you have a specialty situation like accident recovery where the bike is damaged, we adapt our methods to handle it safely.
