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.
