If your motorcycle breaks down on Staten Island, it can feel like you’re on your own — especially late at night or far from the ferry. Whether you’re stranded near Hylan Boulevard, the Staten Island Expressway, or parked at your house in Tottenville, getting your bike towed safely and affordably shouldn’t be a headache.
This guide breaks down exactly what to do if your motorcycle dies in Staten Island — and why MAD Transpo NYC is the team riders trust to get it done right.
✅ What To Do If Your Motorcycle Breaks Down in Staten Island
1. Move Your Bike to a Safe Spot
If you’re stuck on a road like Richmond Ave, Victory Blvd, or the Expressway, try to get your bike out of traffic. Pull over into a driveway, parking lot, or safe curb spot to avoid being hit or ticketed.
2. Share a Pin or Landmark
Staten Island isn’t as dense as the other boroughs, but many areas are remote or residential. Drop a GPS pin or share the nearest cross street to help your tow tech locate you faster — especially if you’re somewhere like Arden Heights or Charleston.
3. Don’t Use a Generic Tow Company
Most Staten Island tow companies handle cars and SUVs — not motorcycles. Using the wrong tow truck risks major damage to your frame, wheels, or plastics. You need a company that knows how to handle bikes — with the right gear and actual experience.

💡 Why Not Just Call AAA?
AAA might work for cars — but they’re not built for motorcycles. Wait times in Staten Island can stretch for hours, and the person who shows up might not have motorcycle equipment. That means your bike gets improvised solutions — the kind that lead to scratched tanks and broken parts.
MAD Transpo NYC brings the right tools and the right mindset — every time.
