Bike Transport Services in Kammasandra
Kammasandra lies off Hosur Road near Electronic City, and most people here work on the campuses close by. Every so often one of them goes home for a long stretch: maternity or paternity leave, a sabbatical, a spell of remote work, a parent who needs looking after. The flat is kept, or given up, and the bike has to go somewhere.

InstantWhere are you moving?
Costs you nothing and there's no salesperson at the end of it.
If you're coming back, sending the bike home and bringing it back later can make more sense than leaving it to rot in a basement for months. It's two journeys instead of one, so it pays to plan them as a pair from the start.
Should the bike come with you at all?
Start with how long you'll be away. A few weeks? Leave the bike parked, covered, with someone you trust starting it now and then. Several months? A bike that sits that long in a Kammasandra basement comes back with a flat battery, soft tyres and a dusty chain, and the parking may not even be yours if the flat is given up.
Then ask whether you'll use it at home. If the family lives somewhere a bike is the only sensible way to get around, taking yours means you're not borrowing a cousin's for six months.
Think about cost honestly. Two carrier trips cost more than one. Compare that with renting a bike at home, or simply doing without, and decide with the numbers in front of you.
And consider the return date. If it's uncertain, sending the bike home keeps your options open. If you might take a new job in a different city instead of returning, the bike can go straight from home to wherever you end up.
If you're unsure, ask us for both legs' quotes before you decide. Seeing the two figures together makes the choice easier, and there's no obligation to book either.
Planning the outward leg
Book the trip home as you would any other. Tell us the hometown, and we'll say whether it's a frequent run or one that has to wait for a vehicle heading there. You'll get the arrival date at booking, which you can match to your own travel.
If you're keeping the Kammasandra flat, the bike can be collected from there. If you're giving it up, arrange a pickup date before the keys go back, or ask a neighbour to release the bike after you've gone.
Note the odometer and the condition yourself at pickup, alongside the crew's photographs. With two legs to compare against, your own pictures from the first day are useful months later.
Keep a copy of the first invoice. When you book the return, it's a handy reference for the route and what you paid.
Pack the helmet and the bike cover in your own luggage. You'll want the helmet the moment the bike arrives at home, and the cover is useful in a courtyard during the monsoon.
While the bike is at home
Insurance renewals don't stop for a sabbatical. If the policy is due while you're away, renew it on time, and make sure it covers whoever will ride the bike at home, if that's not only you.
The pollution certificate may expire too. Get a fresh one wherever you are; it doesn't have to be in Bangalore.
Ride it, if you can. A bike that's used regularly at home comes back in better health than one that has stood unused in either city.
If it needs a service, a mechanic in your hometown is fine. Keep the receipt with the bike's papers so the service history stays continuous.
Keep the Bangalore address on the RC unchanged if you're coming back. Changing it for a temporary stay creates paperwork you'll only have to reverse.
Scooter shifting for a long stay away
A scooter is often the more useful vehicle at home: easy for a parent to borrow, simple to park outside a clinic or a market. It travels on the truck under the same protection as a motorcycle, at a slightly lower price.
Before the outward trip, empty the seat box completely, office lanyards included. On the return, check the box again; scooters collect hometown things just as quickly.
If a parent will ride it while you're away, check the insurance covers them, and that they're comfortable with its weight and its brakes before you leave.
Some families find the scooter so useful during the stay that it never comes back to Bangalore. That's fine too; the return leg is only booked when you want it, and a scooter left with a parent is a scooter well used.
Bike transport back to Kammasandra
When your return date is fixed, book the return leg from home. Give whoever is releasing the bike the key and the photocopies, and ask them to stand with the crew for the photographs. The arrival in Kammasandra is agreed when you book.
If you gave up your flat and haven't found a new one yet, have the bike delivered to a friend's building or your office, with permission, and move it again once you're settled. A short hop within the area is a same-day job.
Each leg is quoted on its own after a free look at the bike, and each written price includes GST. The household side of leaving or returning is on our Electronic City Phase 2 packers page.
If your return depends on a joining date that keeps slipping, book the return once it's confirmed, not before. A bike arriving back in Kammasandra while you're still at home helps nobody.
When the bike is back, give it a quick check: tyres, brakes, lights. Two long trips and months of hometown roads deserve ten minutes with a mechanic before the first commute.
