I wanted a park en move the bike wheel thing as the space in my garage is limited. Every time I wanted to work in the garage I had to take the bike outside and the scooter does not have a parking space as the GSA take up most of the space on the one side. So here is the first prototype home build bike wheelie around thing.

The steel plat was cut and bend the primer was on first.

I wanted it to be giggel geel (giggling Yellow) as all black painted equipment always hide away and I did not want this one to hide.

Wheels fitted after the painting. The paint did not dry completely as I was in a hurry to get it finished.

Finished only a rubber needed where the stand rest. The rubber was fastened with tie cable as the paint could not take the glue yet.

The proof is in the pudding and the cherry in the eating and I tried it on the scooter first. It worked as planned.

Then it was time for the final test for what it was mend. I could wheelie the GSA around the garage and park it in the corner, turn it around etc. etc. etc

Wow... great idea! So how do you get the GSA off the stand again without using your foot as a brake?

How much? I think my thick steel plate cutter & bender is painted black Smile

Very innovative - presume it can work well - have to move the LT around as well - depending on which car is being used. Will however be very wary of pudhing it around on this. But it works for Willie.
