Motorcycle Towing Perth
All bike types. Flatbed tilt-tray. Secure tie-down. 24/7 across Perth metro.
Towing All Motorcycles, Scooters & Trikes Across Perth
A motorcycle breakdown or accident on a Perth road can be dangerous — and finding a tow truck that actually knows how to handle a bike safely is harder than it should be. Tow Rite carries motorcycle-specific securing equipment on every truck and our operators are trained in the correct loading, chocking and tie-down procedures for all bike types.
Whether you've had a mechanical failure, a flat tyre, run out of fuel or been in an accident, we respond 24 hours a day across Perth metro. Your bike is always transported on a flatbed tilt-tray — never dragged, lifted by one wheel or trailered unsecured.
How We Tow Motorcycles
Flatbed tilt-tray dispatch
We always dispatch a flatbed tilt-tray for motorcycle jobs. Your bike is never towed on two wheels or dragged.
Wheel chock loading
A purpose-built wheel chock holds the front wheel firmly in position once the bike is on the deck, preventing any forward or side movement.
Soft strap tie-down
Soft loop straps attach to the frame or handlebars — never around cables, brake lines or painted surfaces. Your chrome and paintwork stay untouched.
Secure transport
Your bike rides flat and stable to your destination — repairer, storage or home. No swinging, tipping or scraping.

When to Call Us
Mechanical breakdown
Engine failure, clutch issues, electrical faults — if the bike won't run, we'll get it to your mechanic.

Dead battery, flooded engine or unknown fault — we'll tow you to your mechanic and let them figure it out.

Need your bike moved interstate or to a new address? We can arrange point-to-point flatbed transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are motorcycles towed in Perth?
Motorcycles must be transported on a flatbed tilt-tray truck with the bike secured upright using purpose-built wheel chocks and soft tie-down straps. This keeps the motorcycle stable and prevents any contact with painted or chrome surfaces. Tow Rite carries motorcycle-specific securing equipment on all our trucks.
Can you tow any type of motorcycle in Perth?
Yes. Tow Rite handles all motorcycle types — sports bikes, cruisers, adventure tourers, scooters, trikes and classic/vintage motorcycles. We also tow electric motorcycles and e-scooters. If you have an unusual or high-value machine, let us know when you call so we dispatch the right equipment.
Does motorcycle insurance cover towing in Perth?
Comprehensive motorcycle insurance in WA typically includes towing cover. Tow Rite bills all major insurers directly — NRMA, AAMI, Allianz and others. If your bike is insured, call us with your policy number and we handle the rest at no out-of-pocket cost to you.
My bike went down — can you recover it from the road?
Yes. If your motorcycle has come off the road or is in an awkward position, our operators are trained in safe motorcycle recovery. We carry the right equipment to stand, secure and load your bike without causing further damage. Call 0405 888 555 and describe the situation — we'll advise and dispatch immediately.
Electric motorcycle?
E-bikes and electric motorcycles need special towing procedures. Flatbed only, no wheel rotation.
