Types of Motorcycle Storage
Indoor Motorcycle Storage
The long and cold winter months can wreak havoc on your motorcycle. CubeSmart provides a perfect motorcycle winter storage option to protect your vehicle from harsh winter weather conditions.
Can you store a motorcycle in a storage unit? Yes, it is possible to store a motorcycle in a self-storage unit. Ensure that the storage unit is big enough to accommodate the dimensions of your motorcycle.
Covered Motorcycle Storage
If you need a short-term storage solution, and you’re not dealing with extreme weather conditions, then our covered storage option might be right for you. This versatile option provides rain and sun coverage to protect your vehicle and the flexible access means you can hit the road whenever you would like.
Identifying the Best Motorcycle Storage Options for You
So, why do you need motorcycle storage? Your motorcycle is unique to you and your personality. You’ve likely spent a good deal of time and resources on your bike.
Unfortunately, extreme weather conditions can damage motorcycles. The harsh elements of the winter season can mean your ride isn’t utilized as often as in the summer months and leaving your motorcycle outside and unprotected can cause issues.
You may not have enough room to store your motorcycle in your residence, as they can take up a lot of space – whether in the garage or on the street. Suitable motorcycle storage can save you from using unnecessary space and helps protect your motorbike from the elements.
Going away on holiday can also be tricky if you leave your bike behind – as you are not there to keep an eye on it. Leave your motorcycle in a CubeSmart storage facility, to put your mind at rest with our 24-hour video recording.

Motorcycle Preparation
At some point, every bike owner has probably considered motorcycle storage. But it’s not a one-size fits all endeavor. Maybe you’ve considered it for protection against elements, like wind and rain.
For those areas with warmer conditions, the sun’s rays can cause damage to the exterior and wind can expose your vehicle to dust and debris– effectively having a sandpaper-like effect on the paint. This can all be avoided with a good motorcycle storage solution, to keep your vehicle looking as good as new.
Tips for Motorcycle Winter Storage
Garages can be a good place to store your bikes – if you have the space. However, the best winter storage option for motorcycles is indoor storage. Finding the right space for your motorcycle can be tricky, but CubeSmart offers a range of vehicle storage options to suit every need. Before you store your bike for the winter, here are a few tips to prepare your motorcycle.
- Clean and wax the bike – use a leather conditioner on the seat
- Change the oil
- Apply lubricant to the chain and cables
- Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel system
- Check tire pressure
