Motorbike Recovery
From a track-day off to a flat battery in your garage, our motorbike recovery service moves your machine with the respect it deserves.

BIKES ARE NOT CARS
Motorbike recovery by people who actually ride
Motorbike Recovery uses dedicated kit — front wheel chocks, soft straps and low-incline ramps — so your bike never feels the strain of being loaded badly. Sportsbike, tourer, cruiser or vintage twin, we choose the right truck or trailer for the job before we leave the depot.
Bikes need to be loaded, strapped and transported very differently from cars. Cardown Assist runs dedicated motorbike recovery vehicles fitted with soft straps, wheel chocks and low-incline ramps so your machine — sports, touring, cruiser or classic — is moved with the respect it deserves. Drop-side trailers and enclosed options are both available.
ON EVERY BIKE CALL-OUT
- Front wheel chock + 4-point soft strap loading
- Low-incline ramp to avoid scraping fairings & exhausts
- Enclosed transport available for sportsbikes & customs
- Plenty of space for helmet, leathers and luggage
- Operators who actually ride bikes themselves
- Doorstep collection from home, work or roadside
EMERGENCY AVAILABILITY
Available day or night, including track-day weekends and bank holidays.

Make, model and condition — running, dropped, seized or accident damaged.

Careful soft-loading
Front chock, soft straps over the lower triple clamp — never the bars.
Safe delivery
Home, dealer, MOT centre or track — anywhere in the UK.
BIKE SCENARIOS
The bike jobs we get called to most
Dropped at the lights, won't start in the garage, or DNF at a track day — these are the scenes our bike trucks roll up to.
Sportsbike track-day pickups
Crashed, seized or DNF'd at the circuit — collected from the paddock and returned home.
Dropped bikes & low-speed offs
Bent levers, cracked fairings, leaking fluids — loaded with zero further cosmetic damage.
Classic & cafe-racer transport
Vintage Triumphs, BSAs and air-cooled twins moved on soft chocks and clean trailer beds.
Electric & scooter recovery
Zero, LiveWire and city scooters — moved without dragging the rear wheel.
BIKE-SPECIFIC GEAR
Everything we carry to move your bike safely
Bike-grade tie-downs, chocks and ramps are standard on every motorbike dispatch — never car-recovery shortcuts.
