Motorcycle Storage Tent Review | Store Your Bike Outdoors In Winter | Vevor Motorcycle Shelter Guide

Winter is coming! I always try to keep my motorcycles inside during the Winter, but being limited with space it can make it very difficult to find space to work on them inside.

Here is a link to the Vevor Motorcycle Storage Tent I review in this video:

This year I decided to look into the options for storing one of my bikes outside, even if only for part of the time. I have usually used a bike cover held over the bike with straps. I always worry that the paintwork will get scratched where the cover touches the bike, especially if it is windy and there is always the likelihood that the cover will keep in any moisture that finds its way in, making a damp environment for corrosion to take hold.

While looking at the different options I came across bike storage tents. I had never considered them before because I always felt they were too expensive and probably too big for where I wanted to put them, basically in the drive between my house and the neighbours wall. Not quite wide enough for a car to get through, but I didn’t want to block it off for getting a bike through.

While researching these tents this time I spotted that VEVOR made two (or possibly more) different sizes of tent, and that the smaller one might just be narrow enough for me to use. The added bonus was that we do occasionally get items to review from VEVOR, so we decided to ask them if we could have one. To cut a long story short we had to wait a while because they kept being sold out, but they did agree to let us have one when they came back in. So after a short wait the tent arrived.

In a lot of ways it is better than I expected, and came with extras that surprised me. One thing being quite a well made storage bag, as well as a useful combination lock. The instructions are quite good, but in reality the tent is very easy to put up. The supports just clip together, and the main hinged parts are already assembled. It is virtually fool proof to put together. The only things that need to be considered are which are the outsides of the hinged parts, which ends the two outside supports go on, on which way around the cover goes on. Although if you got it wrong with any of these it would be pretty easy and quick to rectify.

Once erected it was easy to put in place. There is hardware to anchor it to the ground, but I wasn’t sure if I had it in a permanent position so I decided to use some weights to keep it secure at first, and I will probably screw it down when I am certain where I want to keep it. To try it out I put my recently acquired VFR800 in it. This is probably the biggest bike that would fit in this size of tent. It has a higher screen than standard and a rack on the back, so it just fits in, but well enough for me to be happy about how it fits.

Shortly after I had put it up we had some very poor weather. In the UK they give names to the worst storms that come through and this one was called Babet. It was very windy and there was a lot of rain. Many places had enough rain to cause flooding. I am pleased to report that my bike was absolutely fine. The tent did not blow away, and none of the rain got through.

The fabric of the motorcycle shelter seems to be very high quality and rain just beads off it. The tent has two vents at the top which will allow any moisture to come out. The only criticism that I could make is of the frame. Although it is strong enough and goes together well, some of the finish is a little light, and there was a little corrosion on the end of a couple of the tubes. I am going to put some rust proofing wax inside the pipes and make sure the outside is given some rust proofing every year.

Overall I am very pleased with the motorbike storage shelter. I would definitely buy one if I hadn’t got this one from VEVOR it makes my bike storage options a lot more flexible. I’ll probably buy another bike now and fill the extra space.

The most impressive thing about this video is you reading all of the instructions before you start building .I didn't even know that was possible to do

[stealhty]

Your voice is so calming rain doesn't even matter anymore

I'm in UK near Manchester Airport. Without the ground mat my VFR gets extra damp! And the concrete projects the ice cold into the bike. My bridge stone tyres were mis shapen with contact with the cold floor! I found 3mm rubber matting was too skinny but 5mm rubber matting works best. Enjoy

Looks a good idea now my garage is full. In 50 years of riding I've never pushed my bike around standing on the RH side, I just know I'd drop it.

[shamusbarringer]

You are my hero Sir! I expected to see a youngster putting it up, but you are my age (old bikers rule) I am delighted.
I think I've gone over the top, I've purchased the large one and at the moment I'm riding a 125 oh dear, how sad, never mind!
You have saved me a lot of scrabbling around on the cold concrete, by the way we have matching kneeling pad, thank you for your wonderful instructions. 😁👍✅

Great video. Wish all YouTube videos were this relaxed and to the point. Subscribed!

[oanie]

thank you for sharing. Now I can start with mine

[juliansmith]

I've yet to get one of these bike shelters. Although I've got the critical 5mm rubber ground mat too keep bike safe of ice cold or hot weather. The tyres are at risk of deformation otherwise! Can't wait cheers

[robm]

I just got one and it’s an absolute bag of Shyte, may aswel of just got a decent bike cover for less cash

[mulliedog]

Looks like it will do the job! Do you get much snow? I’m spoiled in South Florida. I keep my motorcycles parked on my carport with covers on them.
Thanks for the video! Take care.

This is an exceptionally good video, Sir. I'm in Drizzly Seattle with my ZG1000 (tall screen and top box). I'm going to see if Vevor's larger size will fit ASAP. Thank you!

[iamjungle]

This video helped me alot, and I agree about the rust issue Mines the same

[JuanG-era]

I'm gonna make this one using pvc pipes and some tarp

[richarddrew]

Great video will definitely buy one, would my CBF600 fit under this size with a top box? I see in the video it was tight on you're bike with a top box!

[lukedooner]

How would u bolt it down to the concrete plz helpful video

[cabovermike]

You lost me at the instructions part of the video, as nice as that carry bag is its a bit pointless, it would make the product cheaper to buy without it, i cant see any other use for it either, . I agree the pipework could be better finished, maybe dipped in something or a better paint finish, maybe spray it with a tin of hamerite before you put the cover on, but once up it looks pretty good and weather proof, ive just bought a "moto gp" out door rain cover for £20 and its good for the price to, . would it not be better /possible to reverse the bike in and put it on the mainstand ? or is it front in first only ?

[skppy]

ive got one of these, the brand i got was "hide your ride" very easy to assemble but i would advise to bolt it to the ground, you are given the correct bolts to do it and imo makes a MASSIVE difference (the wind will blow the bottom around a bit and the cover will rub against the ground causing it to rip eventually (it would be better if these attached to a tube that didnt sit on the floor, like maybe a half inch behind the bit that does)

Ive been using mine for 3 yrs now, up in Glasgow Scotland so thats through lots of rain, sleet and snow, the cover is a bit faded due to the sun now and the bottom has started to wear a bit due to it touching the ground and likely rubbing a bit in the wind but i paid £100 and to get 3yrs out of it so far im delighted, if i expect to get another few years out of it but if not i will buy another and replace it, 100% worth the money and great piece of kit

Currently trying to figure out a mod to get the last 2 bars over by 12" apehangers.

[konstakonsta]
