    Running out of space, wondered if there is a    bike stand / lift that will lift bike, then have good enough 4 wheels that it can

    move the bike around the garage. Need something that can move on normal (bit gritty dirty) cement floor not polished workshop floor etc.

    Seen something like this at a decent price???

    Many thanks.

    hi mate...i purchased my bike lifter from repco ...it was $149.00 and works great...comes with tie down straps so you could  carefully move your bike around if needed..

    my $149 one from repco has never worked, I have tried every thing to get the jack to work so I may have to buy a new jack
    I had it for 12 months before I opened the box so there is no warranty

    Cheers lads.

    I'm not sure if you can easily/safely wheel the bike around with any of these though?

    You don't have a brand/product name so I can have a look at it on the internet box?

    Hi Guys.

    I bought an IB bike lift. It works OK, but the castors are too small to push the bike around when it's off the ground. You need a highly polished floor for that.

    OK it arrived, very fast etc.

    I have assembled no probs, peice of cake, instructions are "ok", make sure you install safety bar too as this and couple of small things are not mentioned in the Chinese translation at all.

    SO.... ////// HELP ///// HELP.... HELP....

    I can only hoist the bike if its sitting on the (folded up/in) kickstand!?

    With stand down it can not get a good placement and hits the spring etc. With stand up you can take front cradle up to front frame welds and it hold OK but back left corner is pivoting on the raised stand leg, is this OK??

    I can barely roll it around as the weight on the castor wheels makes it quite tough, if I stapped the bike down on the stand properly though I would have more of a chance. Where are you guys putting your tie-down over the bike?? I don't reallly want to squash the seat for long periods etc and don't want to touch the paint.

    Hey SG,

    With my IB lift and RoadKing I have to put the lifter on an angle to clear the sidestand, so the bars of the lifter are not square across the frame of the bike. It's not a problem. I know both your lifter and bike are different - but it might help.
