Fastening for motorbike transportation

A patented transport fastening system designed to secure motorbikes using their own axles—reducing stress on suspension components and minimizing damage risk during transit.

Transporting motorcycles to circuits can be more risky than it looks. A large portion of damages happen during the transportation phase: bikes tipping, straps loosening, suspension being compressed for hours, or anchoring points being used incorrectly. Over time, these practices can lead to structural issues and costly repairs—plus obvious safety risks.

The Moto-Trans Secure Transport System addresses this problem with a simple idea: secure the bike through its own axles. This approach mimics the natural load paths the chassis and suspension experience during real riding, reducing unwanted stress and preventing damage caused by incorrect strap placement.

“Secure the bike where the bike is designed to take loads: its axles.”

Existing methods often rely on compressing the suspension and strapping the bike at random points, some of which were never designed to withstand that kind of pressure. My goal here was to make anchoring intuitive and reliable, even for people new to trailer transport.

The system is also designed with dual purpose in mind: not only preventing falls during transport, but also acting as an anti-fall support while the bike is on the circuit or in the paddock.

To validate performance, the device is undergoing an extended trial period. Because transport usage is often sporadic throughout the year, I chose a two-year testing window to collect enough real-world evidence across different scenarios and bike types.
