Motorcycle Towing Steveston, Richmond BC
Motorcycle towing in Steveston, Richmond BC means your bike rides upright on a flatbed, held by a wheel chock and soft ties, never dragged on its back wheel. Tell us the bike and where it's parked, from Moncton Street to the Garry Point lot, and we confirm the price before we load it. It's one of our towing services, with the same prices as our car towing.
Motorcycle towing in Steveston, in short
- Bikes ride upright on a flatbed, front wheel in a chock, soft straps on the frame, so nothing scratches the tank or bends the bars.
- Motorcycle towing uses our published starting prices, with the first 10 km included. We confirm the exact price before we load.
- Lost the key or the bike is locked? Tell us. We can usually still load it if the steering lock lets the front wheel sit straight.
Motorcycle towing around Steveston Village and Garry Point
On a dry weekend Steveston fills up with bikes. Riders cruise down No. 1 Road, park on Moncton Street for fish and chips, and head out to Garry Point Park at the very southwest tip of Richmond, between Chatham and Moncton. The park has its own parking lot, and that's where a lot of our bike calls start: a dead battery after a long stop, a flat, or a clutch cable that finally gave up. If it's just the battery, a battery boost may get you home without a tow at all.
When the bike does need to move, we bring a flatbed, roll it on, lock the front wheel in a chock and strap it down with soft ties. It's the same care we give a sports car on our flatbed towing service, just sized for two wheels. Scooters and e-bikes too heavy to push are welcome, and so are dirt bikes that won't fit in the back of your pickup.

How we load a motorcycle for towing in Steveston
Bikes are easy to damage if they're loaded the wrong way. Here is what we do, and what we never do. If your bike sits in a condo parkade off Bayview or Chatham, tell us the ceiling height; it's the same setup as our underground towing.
| Step | What we do | What we never do |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling on | Push or winch it slowly up the deck | Ride it up a steep ramp |
| Front wheel | Lock it in a wheel chock | Leave it free to turn |
| Straps | Soft loops on the frame or triple tree | Hooks on the bars, levers or fairing |
| Suspension | Compress it part way so it stays put | Bottom it out |
| Unloading | Same care in reverse, into your garage if you like | Tip it on its side stand |
Have a custom bike with a low fairing or forward controls? Mention it when you ask for a price, and we plan around it. You can also send us photos.

Motorcycle broken down on a Steveston road?
If your bike quits on Steveston Highway or No. 2 Road, get it as far right as you can, put the hazards on if they still work, and stand on the sidewalk or grass, well away from traffic. When we arrive with our lights on, BC law says drivers have to slow down and move over: 40 km/h on village streets and 70 km/h on faster roads. That gives us room to load your bike safely. More tips are on our roadside assistance page.
Leaving the bike for a bit? Lock it, take your helmet and gear, and tell us where the key is. We'll get it to your shop. If it's beyond repair, our scrap car removal crew takes old bikes as well. Trucks and buses go to heavy duty towing.
