Bicycle and e-bike transport.
Plan the fit and protection.

Prepared road and gravel bicycles

Road and gravel bicycles can move between retailers, workshops, sellers, owners and agreed recipients. We plan the vehicle and handover around the complete prepared cycle, whether it is supplied with its wheels fitted or with components separately protected.

The frame size alone does not describe the space required. Include the handlebars, pedals and any wheel bags or accessories travelling with it. Explain the permitted support points and orientation so the transport arrangement follows how the sender has prepared the bicycle.

Protect frames, forks, controls and projecting components. State whether wheels are fitted or separately packed and confirm the permitted support and orientation. Include the complete packed gross weight.

Larger bicycles with wide bars or suspension

Mountain bikes can have wide handlebars, suspension and projecting components that change how they fit and are supported. We organise transport around the actual prepared bicycle and its accessories, with collection and receiving contacts agreed in advance.

Measure the cycle as it will be handed over, not as an approximate catalogue frame size. Explain any protection or support instructions supplied by the owner, retailer or manufacturer. If packing or dismantling is needed, establish who will complete it before collection.

Measure the bicycle as presented for transport, including handlebars and any accessories. Do not assume a frame size describes its load space. Explain support points and preparation required by the manufacturer or sender.

Suitable electric bicycles with declared batteries

Suitable electric bicycles are carried with their battery type and condition declared before booking. We plan the road movement around the complete cycle, its weight, protection and the battery arrangement, rather than assume an e-bike is identical to an unpowered bicycle.

Tell us whether the battery remains fitted or is travelling separately, with the available label or manufacturer information. Removing it does not remove the need for the appropriate carriage assessment. Any damage, modification or abnormal condition needs to be identified before acceptance.

Provide the battery details before quoting, whether fitted or removed. Removal does not make a lithium battery ordinary freight. The actual condition, protection, classification and carriage arrangement must be assessed.

Long, wide or heavier specialist bicycles

Cargo bicycles and adapted cycles can be longer, wider, heavier or less stable to move than a conventional bicycle. We organise the vehicle and handling around the whole cycle, including the equipment or attachments that form part of the consignment.

Photographs help explain shapes and supports that a single length measurement cannot show. Give the full dimensions and weight, and describe access through doors, ramps or steps. A workable plan needs to cover getting the cycle into and out of the vehicle as well as the space inside it.

Send photographs and full dimensions, weight, stability and lifting information. Cargo cycles and adapted cycles can need different access and equipment from a standard bicycle, especially through doors, ramps or steps.

Bicycles prepared by the sender or retailer

A retailer or owner may present a bicycle in a box or purpose-made transport case. We move that prepared load using its outer dimensions and gross weight, with the sender’s orientation and stacking instructions included in the transport brief.

Confirm that loose parts, tools and accessories are secured within the packaging. A case changes the size and weight even when the bicycle inside is familiar. Packing, dismantling and reassembly should be assigned explicitly; they do not automatically form part of a transport-only booking.

Give outer measurements, gross weight and any upright or stacking instructions. Confirm that loose parts and accessories are secured inside. Packing, dismantling and reassembly are not automatically part of a transport booking.

Retailer, workshop, event and private handovers

Cycle transport can connect private handovers, retailer deliveries, workshop visits and event movements. We organise the collection and delivery around the actual holder and recipient, including any declared wheel bags, equipment or other items travelling with the bicycle.

Agree the release time with the person who has the cycle and identify who can receive it. A return after an event or workshop visit may involve a different date, location or load. Include those details so each leg has the right vehicle and handover arrangement.

Arrange release with the actual holder and identify the receiver. Include any extra wheel bags, tools or equipment. State whether there is a return leg or a different destination after an event or workshop visit.

Track and time-trial bicycles

Prepared track and time-trial bicycles can have projecting bars, fragile wheels or a particular support arrangement. We plan the enclosed-road transport around the complete cycle and its protective preparation.

Give dimensions as presented, including fitted wheels and extensions. Identify any separate bags and accessories, and explain permitted support points. Packing, dismantling and adjustment remain with the sender unless another scope is expressly agreed.

Folding bicycles

A folding bicycle can travel in the condition in which the sender prepares it, whether folded, cased or left assembled. We organise vehicle space from that actual presentation rather than assume folding always produces a compact load.

Provide outer dimensions and weight, plus instructions for protecting and securing the folded parts. Electric folding models still need battery details and condition declared. The courier does not automatically fold, dismantle or reassemble the cycle.

Children’s and club bicycles

Several prepared smaller bicycles can form one customer consignment for a club, retailer or agreed group arrangement. We organise the vehicle around the combined load and the authorised collection and receiving contacts.

List cycle quantities, sizes and any separate equipment, with support and stacking restrictions. Smaller frames do not establish the total space needed. Each stop, recipient and later return must be included in the route brief.

Touring cycles and accompanying luggage

A touring bicycle may travel with panniers, racks, protective cases or other declared luggage. We organise transport around the complete prepared consignment and its handover to the agreed recipient.

Measure the cycle as presented and declare the contents of accompanying bags, including batteries or restricted goods. Explain whether luggage is fitted or separately packed. Loading space and gross weight must cover everything travelling together.

Frames, wheels and cycle components

Protected frames, wheel sets and prepared components can move between sellers, owners, retailers and workshops. We plan the consignment around the outer cases or packaging and the support needed for vulnerable pieces.

Give item counts, packed measurements and gross weights, with value and battery contents declared where relevant. Secure loose parts and identify matched sets. Building, servicing and checking compatibility are separate from delivery.

Several cycles on one dedicated route

A business, club or authorised organiser may need several prepared cycles moved together or to agreed receiving points. We organise the customer-only vehicle and route around the combined consignment.

Provide the complete cycle list, dimensions, handling instructions and contacts for each stop. Include wheel bags and accessories, plus any electric-cycle batteries. Returns after an event or workshop visit must have their own agreed release time and destination.
