Interesting "twist" on the motorcycle dolly.

See what I did there? Well, you will when you watch the videos below.



A Japanese company has produced a different method to move your bike around your garage.

Neat idea but I gotta say I'm nor crazy about what it appears to be doing to the floor.

More info can be found at bikelifter.com but it's entirely in Japanese.

Looks like it might put some strain on your back and as you mentioned, puts tram lines in your floor.

My back hurts just watching that.

besides the building damage: how do you get the bike back out again? Attaching the cable of your truck's Warn winch??

I'd think that lifting that car in the Japanese company's website is going to be a bit tougher than lifting a Harley. Maybe a Sumo wrestler is using the device there.

Well there's another video with a girl making it look pretty easy:

But even in that video they put a couple tiles of smooth material covering over their showroom floor to prevent damage. Maybe something like roller blade wheels vs metal could be incorporated, it's just a lever device. I don't really like pulling against the kickstand to move it left though. I'll stick with my current parking arrangement.

Yeah, replace those metal wheels with some wider softer skateboare wheels! Not sure what that single wheel under her foot is? Doesn't look to be caster.

Ball caster.

Yuck, that's one putting scratches on floor. Lots of pressure on that tiny rounded spot!

The woman is lifting a lighter H-D. Maybe she can right an ST1300 with a full tank. I'd sooner put the bike on one of those center stand dollies. Put the back tire on a board to then place the dolly under the stand and deploy. Yes there's some fine tuning and possibly accessorizing to make it work. But I'd rather do that then the gizzy in the OP or a more expensive dolly.
