Re: Motorcycle Mover
I had a similar but cheaper mover from M and p of swansea .. it worked ok, as long as you waz careful .. but the rubber/plastic roller wheels got scrubbed off on my then concrete garage floor.
the floor needs to be very flat and level and the wheels need to be in the direction of travel

Re: Motorcycle Mover
Greetings,
I have not used this particular model but I have in the past used the Abba stand mover, it was particularly useful to move a bike sideways for storage into narrow spaces. We had a smooth workshop floor, I think the newer model has improved castors. Probike of Northampton sell a similar product too.

Re: Motorcycle Mover
Thanks for replies guys but I’m looking for folk who have experience of the one with the front wheel chock. I need something to help me turn my bike round in my garage. I have a steep sloping drive into my garage and the bike has to be turned round in it so I can ride it out
Cheers

Re: Motorcycle Mover
When my garage gets finished I'll have a similar issue so am looking at one of these, or similar:

Re: Motorcycle Mover

Re: Motorcycle Mover
Can you reverse the bike down the drive? That's what I do. Pull into pavement and reverse in.
If the garage floor isn't smooth try using a self leveling mix from Wickes.
