Two Wheel Towing & Transport in Baltimore: Motorcycle and Scooter Recovery Specialists
Two Wheel Towing & Transport is a motorcycle and scooter-only towing operation serving Baltimore and the surrounding region. Unlike full-service towing companies that treat two-wheeled vehicles as an afterthought, this operation has built its entire business around the specific handling, equipment, and expertise that motorcycles and scooters require.
What Two Wheel Towing & Transport actually is
The company specializes in flatbed recovery for motorcycles, sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, and motorized scooters. They do not tow cars or trucks. This focus means their entire fleet, training, and operational procedures are tailored to vehicles that cannot simply be winched onto a standard hook without risking frame, engine, or electrical damage. All vehicles arrive on flatbed trucks with wheel chocks and tie-down systems built for two-wheeled geometry. The operation covers breakdowns, accident recovery, long-distance transport, and storage situations within Baltimore City and surrounding counties including Baltimore County, Howard County, and Anne Arundel County.
Services and pricing
Two Wheel Towing & Transport charges between $75 and $150 for local calls within Baltimore City, depending on distance and time of day. Out-of-area recovery within the surrounding counties ranges from $150 to $300. Long-distance transport (defined as anything beyond 50 miles) is quoted individually, typically running $3 to $5 per mile after the first 50 miles. After-hours and emergency calls incur a $50 surcharge on top of the base rate. Storage at their facility costs $15 per day, with a 30-day minimum before a vehicle is considered abandoned. These rates fluctuate seasonally and should be confirmed before a service call; late fall often sees price increases as riding season ends and storage demand rises.
The company offers direct coordination with collision repair shops that handle motorcycle damage, streamlining the handoff process so your bike moves from the scene directly to a shop familiar with two-wheeled repairs. They also hold short-term storage for riders waiting on parts or insurance settlements, which is valuable because most conventional towing companies charge premium storage rates for motorcycles and often lack secure, climate-controlled spaces suitable for long-term parking.
How it compares to other Baltimore towing options
Standard towing services like those offered by AAA or major local providers (roadside assistance arms of national companies) typically charge $50 to $100 for local calls, a savings of $25 to $50 over Two Wheel Towing's base rate. However, these services often subcontract motorcycle recovery to whichever driver is nearest, who may lack proper equipment. Stories of bikes arriving with cracked fairings, broken mirrors, or electrical damage from improper winching are common enough in the motorcycle community that specialty operators charge a premium partly because they avoid these costly mistakes. Two Wheel Towing's flatbed-only approach and motorcycle-specific training eliminate that risk.
For riders seeking the lowest possible price, a general towing service might be the choice, accepting the risk. For riders who own a bike worth $5,000 or more, or who cannot absorb the cost of secondary damage, the specialty operator's premium is insurance. Riders with current motorcycle club memberships or premium roadside assistance plans (some cover two-wheeled vehicles) should check coverage before calling; membership benefits can offset the cost difference entirely.
Who it suits and who it does not suit
This service suits any Baltimore-area motorcycle owner, regardless of bike type or value. Scooter riders in particular benefit, since general towing companies often refuse scooters or lack the proper tie-down equipment. The service is essential if your bike is expensive, if you ride regularly and want to know recovery is handled correctly, or if you live outside the city and break down in an unfamiliar area.
The service does not suit riders seeking the absolute lowest price per call, or those with comprehensive roadside assistance already included in their insurance or membership plans. It is also not a choice for riders who need to tow a motorcycle as a secondary service alongside a car; Two Wheel Towing will not haul both in one trip.
What the first call involves
Call the dispatch line and provide your location, the nature of the problem (breakdown, accident, storage pickup), and your motorcycle or scooter's size and weight if known. Dispatch will confirm availability and provide an estimated arrival time, typically 30 to 60 minutes for calls within Baltimore City. The driver will arrive in a marked flatbed truck, assess the bike's condition, secure it with chocks and straps, and ask where it needs to go (your home, a repair shop, their storage facility). Payment is due on arrival, cash or card accepted. The whole process normally takes 20 to 30 minutes on site.
Hours, parking, and logistics
Two Wheel Towing & Transport operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency calls. The dispatch office is located off North Point Boulevard in Canton, with a secure outdoor storage lot adjacent to the facility. Parking for customer vehicles is not available at the dispatch office; calls are handled by phone or online submission through their website. Confirm current pricing before booking, as holiday surcharges and seasonal rate adjustments apply. [Verification note: Operating hours and rate adjustments should be confirmed directly with the company, as these details shift quarterly.]
Two Wheel Towing & Transport fills a critical gap in Baltimore's towing landscape by refusing to treat motorcycle recovery as a sideline. If your bike breaks down or gets damaged, having a driver who knows the difference between a cruiser and a sport bike, and who owns the right equipment to move it safely, justifies the cost.
