Scooters and mopeds are everywhere in New York City. From Vespas and gas powered mopeds to Revels and electric scooters, riders depend on these vehicles for fast and affordable transportation. When something goes wrong, the most important thing is getting the scooter safely transported as quickly as possible.

This guide focuses on the towing process itself, where to get help, what to expect, and how MAD Transpo NYC handles scooter and moped towing across all five boroughs.

Scooter Towing in NYC Requires a Specialist

Scooters may be smaller than motorcycles, but they require careful handling during transport. Incorrect strapping or the wrong type of truck can easily lead to scratches, body damage or alignment issues.

A proper scooter towing service uses:

Soft straps to protect the plastics
A low angle loading ramp
Wheel chocks designed for small tires
Tie down points made for two wheel vehicles
A stable platform to keep the scooter upright

These tools make sure the scooter is transported safely regardless of its condition.

We Tow Scooters and Mopeds for Any Reason

MAD Transpo NYC handles towing for every situation a rider might encounter. Whether your scooter is perfectly intact or completely immobile, we can transport it quickly and safely.

Situations we commonly tow for:

Dead battery on an electric scooter
Flat tire
Scooter that will not power on
Mechanical or electrical issues
A scooter that was dropped or involved in a minor accident
Rental scooter shutdowns
Immobilized scooters stuck between tight cars
Damage from potholes or road debris

You do not need to diagnose the issue. If the scooter cannot be ridden normally, we handle the rest.

How Scooter Towing Works in NYC

When your scooter stops working or needs transport, the process is simple.

Step 1: Share Your Location

Provide the street, cross street or nearby landmark. In NYC this helps the driver reach you faster.

Step 2: The Scooter Is Loaded Safely

The driver uses a low incline ramp, specialized straps and precise tie down points. Scooters are loaded upright with no tilting or dragging.

Step 3: Secure Transport to Any Destination

We tow to:

Your home
A mechanic or shop
A dealership
A storage location
Any address you choose

Every scooter is transported fully secured to avoid movement during transit.

Step 4: Delivery and Unloading

The scooter is carefully rolled off the truck, kept upright and placed exactly where you want it.

How Much Scooter and Moped Towing Costs in 2025

Scooter towing in NYC is usually more affordable than full size motorcycle towing. Pricing depends on distance and location.

Typical price ranges:

Local towing within a neighborhood: 75 to 125 dollars
Towing within the same borough: 100 to 150 dollars
Borough to borough towing: 125 to 200 dollars
Long distance towing or recovery: 150 to 250 dollars

You will always receive a clear price before the tow is confirmed.

We Tow Every Type of Scooter

MAD Transpo NYC provides transportation for all types of scooters and mopeds:

Vespa
Piaggio
Honda and Yamaha scooters
Gas powered mopeds from 49cc to 300cc
Electric scooters including NIU, Segway and similar models

Rental scooters such as Revel

If it has two wheels and needs to be moved, we can tow it.

Why Choose a Dedicated Scooter Towing Service

NYC is crowded, chaotic and full of tight parking areas. A general tow truck operator may not have the right equipment to move a scooter safely.

Choosing a specialist gives you:

Faster response times
Safer loading and unloading
Proper equipment for small two wheel vehicles
No risk of body damage or scratches
Reliable service in any borough
Simple, flat pricing with no surprises

Your scooter is handled the way it was designed to be handled.
