MODELCO The Motorcycle Delivery Company

MODELCO - The Motorcycle Delivery Company is a Hawke's Bay-based family firm that provides Nationwide transportation services for high value and fragile items. We have a special focus on transporting two-wheeled motorcycles around New Zealand, but we also transport trikes, quads, and farm vehicles etc. With over 15 years of experience in the motorcycle transport industry, we services some of the largest dealerships in the country as well as private buyers and collectors. We offer full protection - enclosed deliveries with our fleet of Mercedes vans as well as shielded trailer transportation.

We have a very close working relationship with Sister firms BIDRIDER for import-Export of vehicles and BIKELINK which is NZ's #1 Bicycle Transport Company as well as some other highly reputable transport firms that we co-broker with.

Please take a look at our feedback from many hundreds of satisfied customers.

Please Note; All deliveries are covered by Carriers Liability, but additional full coverage insurance can be arranged beforehand for high-value items via our partnership with STAR Insure. Otherwise, the Carriage of Goods Act 1979 Sect 8 - 28 applies "at the owner's risk". If you are told by other carriers that your vehicle or item is fully covered then this information is provided to mislead you.



Thank you, Jason and Beata.

Ford Revival

We move cars and bikes, etc. with all the care you would expect from a company that cares for your items as you do. Our vehicle transport is a spacious 7-metre covered box trailer, so no one can see your items.

Rain and dust won't be a problem; it will arrive as it left.

MotoXpress

Hi, my name is Kane. Welcome to MotoXpress, where my passion for all things moto has evolved into a dedicated service for enthusiasts like you. Having immersed myself in the world of motorcycles, jetskis, and cars, my driveway or shed often showcases a new addition without raising an eyebrow.

I have personally entrusted the transportation of my own motorcycles in recent years so I understand the importance of choosing a safe and reliable transporter.

If, like me, you crave prompt delivery of your prized possessions, reach out, and let's make it happen. I take pride in offering express North Island transport. I transport all bikes inside my specially set up van, ensuring your items reach you securely and in pristine condition.

I transport more than just road bikes; I move jet skis, go-karts, dirt bikes., scooters, mopeds, lawnmowers, small boats, quadbikes and more.

Let MotoXpress turn your passion into a hassle-free, express reality!

Want it tomorrow? Get in touch to see if I can make your day.

Cheers, Kane

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long will it take?
We understand that you don’t want to be separated from your bike for longer than need be and will endeavour to complete the job not only professionally but also promptly. Normally we complete North Island to North Island bookings within 7-14 days from the day we receive the instructions & payment. Very occasionally it might take a little longer – workload, traffic, holdups, and unscheduled delays you get the picture, however, we will keep you in the loop. Provided there are no delays due to circumstances beyond our control North to South Island or return can take 14-21 days, subject to Interisland Ferries of course. We will contact you a day or two prior to the scheduled pick-up or delivery to arrange a specific time.

2. Quote For TradeMe?
Before you make a TradeMe purchase you might want to get a quote - best to message us directly here as things might change with how quickly you need the job completed. Some sellers are fine to wait, others are not!
We are Motorcycle movers, not a general transport co and we need to limit the amount of ‘Extras’ that come with the bike, we keep our prices low by co-loading and don’t what to fill the van with too many extras limiting the space for bikes, so one box about the size of a large top box is fine, more bits can be sorted by arrangement. Thanks for understanding.
If in doubt message us here for more guidance.

3. Can I put spare parts with my bike?
Yes, one box approximately the size of a top box can travel free of charge with your motorcycle. Absolutely no, none, zip, fluids can be transported separately. Additional parts fairings, tyres etc. can be discussed and will be priced separately.

4. Does someone have to be home for the pickup or delivery?
We really do prefer that someone is around to monitor or assist with the collection and or drop-off, if this is a problem we need to talk! We will need some extra forms filled in, this is really a liability thing for insurance, theft and damage, it's just so much easier if someone is around at each end.

5. Insurance – what’s covered & what's not?
New Zealand is a funny old place & has some strange rules sometimes, NO ONE CAN INSURE SOMETHING THAT THEY DON’T OWN THEMSELVES. We do have limited carrier's liability cover up to the maximum we can get which is $2,000. This is more than some other transporters which will only cover up to $1,500 in the case of a claim occurring. Our advice is if it's yours, insure it for its true value, best of all tell your insurance company it's going to be in transit, shouldn’t cost you more but crosses off the no surprise aspect with the insurance co.
Worried – that’s fair and perfectly understandable.

The Open Road Bike support crew is the backup side to our motorcycle tour company. Motorcycles are our thing, we love riding but understand sometimes you just need it moved, we care, we appreciate your trust, and don’t transport anything else – Just bikes & bits.
