Moving a Bicycle or E-Bike in Watford

A bike is easy to fit in a van and easy to damage in one. Laid flat under other furniture, a derailleur bends and a disc rotor warps. Bikes travel upright and strapped to the side of the van, with nothing leaning on them.

Typical ranges, not manufacturer figures. Measure yours if it is going to be close, and check it against the door and stair measurements.

Will it fit?

Will a cargo bike fit in the van?

Yes. A long-wheelbase van or a Luton has room for a cargo bike upright. It is the carry out of a narrow hallway or back garden that needs planning.

How we move it

  1. Strap each bike upright to the side of the van
  2. Pad the frame where it touches anything
  3. Carry e-bike batteries separately where they come off

Before we arrive

  • Take the e-bike battery off if it is removable
  • Tell us if there are several bikes, so we bring enough straps

Marketplace and shop collections

Secondhand bikes and e-bikes are a common collection. Send us the seller's address and whether the bike is kept in a flat, a shed or a bike store, and we will collect it and bring it to your door.

Moving a bicycle: questions

Can you move just a bike?+

Yes, on its own or as part of a larger move. Several bikes on one booking cost much less than separate trips.

Is it safe to move an e-bike?+

Yes. The bike travels upright and strapped, and a removable battery travels separately and protected.
