Moto evakuatori: motorcycle towing in Tbilisi
Bike stuck on the road? Call the workshop: moto evakuatori for Tbilisi and for the routes out of it. We arrive with a closed van fitted out for two-wheelers, strap the bike down and take it to Atotsi or to the address you give us. Motorcycles, scooters, enduro, quads. We work Mon–Sat 10:00–19:00. If you break down after closing, write on WhatsApp and we pick the bike up first thing the next working morning.
What we transport
- Motorcycles — road, sport, touring, cruisers and choppers
- Scooters and mopeds — light machines that need careful strapping
- Enduro and motocross bikes — including recovery from trails and mountain roads
- ATVs / quads — if it fits inside the van
- Pit bikes and kids’ bikes
When you need motorcycle towing
- After a crash, when the bike cannot continue under its own power
- The engine will not start or died mid-ride
- Dead battery or a flat tire that cannot be fixed on the spot
- You bought a bike and want it delivered without riding it unregistered
- Transport between cities or to winter storage
- A rental bike broke down mid-tour and the rental company is far away
Inside the workshop
How the pickup works
- Tell us where you are and what the bike is. You get an arrival time and a price.
- We arrive with a closed van fitted out for motorcycles, not a car tow truck with a spare rope.
- The bike is fixed with soft straps — nothing presses on the tank or the plastics.
- We deliver it wherever you say: our workshop, your home, another garage.
Where we operate
The core zone is Tbilisi — Saburtalo to Varketili — and its surroundings: Mtskheta, Rustavi, Tskneti, Saguramo, Kojori. Longer distances, including recovery from the mountain routes touring riders love, can be arranged in advance. If you are planning a Caucasus trip and want a backup contact in your pocket, write to us before you set off.
Main routes and travel time
| Route | Distance | Travel time |
|---|---|---|
| Tbilisi — Rustavi | ~25 km | 30–50 min |
| Tbilisi — Mtskheta | ~25 km | 30–50 min |
| Tbilisi — Gudauri | ~120 km | 2–3 h |
| Tbilisi — Kutaisi | ~230 km | 3–4 h |
| Tbilisi — Batumi | ~370 km | 5–6 h |
Times depend on traffic and weather — the Rikoti pass and the Gudauri serpentine take longer in winter.
Shared runs to Batumi
In season we schedule shared runs on the Tbilisi–Batumi route: several bikes in one van, so each owner pays a fraction of a solo trip. Email us your dates and we will slot you in. Schedule, pricing logic and route details are on the Batumi page.
What to tell us when you order
- Where the bike is — an address or a map pin
- What it is: make, model, rough weight
- Its condition: does it start, do the wheels turn, is there crash damage
- Where to deliver — the workshop, your home, another garage
- A phone number the driver can reach you on
These five points are enough for one reply with the arrival time and the final price, no back-and-forth.
Why you should not tow a motorcycle on a rope
A car tow truck with a spare rope is a bad option for a motorcycle: a two-wheeler has no balance without a rider, and under tow the rider has almost no braking or steering control. One sharp stop by the car in front and the bike is on the ground. That is why moto towing is its own trade: a loading ramp, a front wheel chock, three-point strapping. That is exactly how we work.
After a crash — what to do, in order
- Safety first: get off the roadway, hazard lights on, warning triangle out.
- Call 112 if anyone is hurt; call the police if the crash needs a report.
- Photograph the bike and the scene — for insurance and to avoid disputes.
- Send your location and the bike’s condition. Within working hours you get an answer in minutes.
- If it needs fixing, the bike goes straight to the workshop and you have a diagnosis by morning.
How different machines are strapped
A motorcycle is fixed at three points with soft straps: two at the front on the frame or the lower triple clamp (never the handlebars) and one at the rear, with the front wheel in a chock.
A scooter needs extra care because of its bodywork: straps go only to metal frame points, and pressure spots get soft padding.
An ATV is strapped at four points, load spread per wheel. Crash-damaged machines get extra bracing so nothing else breaks on the way.
Frequent questions
How much does towing cost?
Inside Tbilisi it starts at ₾30 and grows with distance and with how awkward the pickup spot is; intercity runs are counted per kilometre, around ₾1.5. You get the exact figure on the call, and it does not change on the way.
Do you work at night?
No. The crew works Mon–Sat 10:00–19:00 and we do not take night callouts, because a promise like that breaks on the first bad night. Write on WhatsApp instead: messages get read in the evening and on Sunday, and the bike is collected as soon as we open.
Will you take a scooter?
Yes: scooters, mopeds, enduro, sport and touring bikes.
How fast do you arrive?
Within Tbilisi usually 30–60 minutes. You get the exact time when you order, traffic included.
Can I ride along with the bike?
Yes, there is one passenger seat in the cab.
Do you take crash-damaged bikes?
Yes — strapping damaged machines is everyday work for us. Badly damaged bikes get extra bracing so nothing else breaks in transit.
Can you deliver to Batumi?
Yes, by arrangement — a solo trip, or a shared run which costs noticeably less.
Can you repair the bike too?
Yes — the bike goes straight to our workshop for diagnostics and repair if you want it fixed, not just moved.
