Motorcycle Cover

Motorcycle tarpaulins provide protection when your motorcycle is not in use.

Not everyone has the option of parking their motorcycle in a garage. However, weather conditions such as rain, wind or snow can have a damaging effect on your bike. Rust and scratches are just two of the problems that can arise. This makes it all the more important to protect your own machine from external influences. A motorcycle tarpaulin is the perfect solution if you have limited space and no garage for your machine. But it's not only when your bike is outside that it makes sense to protect it with a cover. Even in the garage, there are factors such as dust and dirt that can cause scratches or similar damage. So when buying a cover for your motorcycle, make sure that it is designed for indoor or outdoor use. For example, combine a motorcycle lift or a motorcycle rocker with a tarpaulin to perfectly prepare your motorcycle for the winter break.

Find the right motorcycle cover

There are different ways to protect your motorcycle from external influences when it is not in use. Which motorcycle cover is right for you and your bike depends entirely on you and your ideas.

Motorcycle tarpaulins

A motorcycle tarpaulin is particularly practical because you can easily fold it up and take it with you anywhere. This can be very convenient, especially if you are on the road a lot. Tarpaulins are available in different versions. Which is the right motorcycle cover for you depends, for example, on whether you keep your motorcycle inside or outside. For outside, a winter-proof cover is recommended, whereas a breathable cover is better for inside. We offer you numerous different tarpaulins. From winter-proof tarpaulins to breathable tarpaulins from manufacturers such as Craftride and Tourtecs.

Motorcycle tent garage

A motorcycle tent garage offers you protection from the weather and wetness. Especially if you only want to use the cover at home, a tent garage is a good option for you. It is set up once and then you just have to push your bike inside. One advantage of a tent garage is that the fabric does not lie on the motorcycle and cause scratches.

This is what characterizes a good motorcycle protective cover

Motorcycle tarpaulins are available in many different designs. Some are only suitable for indoor use, while others can be used outside without any problems. An outdoor motorcycle tarpaulin protects your bike from wind and weather. When choosing a suitable motorcycle cover, you should not always choose the cheapest model. Even inexpensive products provide adequate protection against moisture. However, these cheap folding garages often have a very rough outer material, which acts like sandpaper on the motorcycle paintwork and can cause lasting damage to the paintwork. Therefore, when buying, make sure that the inner surface is gentle on the paintwork. Similarly, many cheap motorcycle tarpaulins are not suitable for use in winter.

To ensure that a motorcycle tarpaulin provides optimal protection for your bike, you should consider the following factors:

- Size: The MOTEA online shop offers covers in different sizes and designs. Check the exact dimensions of the motorcycle cover to make sure that your bike is fully covered. Your cover should not be too big, as this will cause it to flap and scratch your paintwork.

- The material: Depending on how you use your cover, make sure it is waterproof. Synthetic fibers are waterproof and are recommended for outdoor or winter use. It can also be useful if your motorcycle cover is breathable to prevent condensation.

- The attachment: Especially if you have your motorcycle outside, you should pay attention to special straps and elastics. Otherwise, the motorcycle tarpaulin can quickly slip.

- The lock: If you have your motorcycle outside, it may be useful to provide the cover with a lock. For this purpose, there are some motorcycles cover tarpaulins a locking hole with a sealing ring.

This is how you use a tarpaulin correctly

Before you put your bike under a motorcycle tarpaulin for the winter, you should always clean your bike completely. Dust and dirt, in combination with the tarpaulin on the motorcycle, can act like a wire brush for the paintwork. The motorcycle tarpaulin is moved by gusts of wind and rubs the dirt over the paintwork. So make sure your bike is clean and dust-free before you cover it for the winter. Condensation can also cause significant damage to your motorcycle. To prevent condensation from forming under the motorcycle cover, you should keep a distance of about 5 cm from the ground.

We recommend briefly removing the tarpaulin on dry days so that the motorcycle can dry naturally. It goes without saying that only completely dry machines should be stored under the cover again. Newly moved machines also do not belong in a folding garage. The heat from the exhaust pipe can cause condensation under the tarpaulin.
