MotoBikeJack | Gear Review



The MotoBikeJack, which packs down into a bag measuring roughly five inches in diameter by 15 inches long, will jack up bikes weighing up to 1,000 pounds.
It may be safe to say that most (if not all) riders have, at one time or another, dropped a bike. After all, a motorcycle?s natural resting position is lying on its side. I?m not talking about crashing, but just your foot slipping out when you come to a stop. It happens, even in the privacy of your own garage. Then the bike has to be put back on its wheels, and it might well be too heavy for a one-person pick up–depending on the person, of course. It?s not bad when you?re riding with a group, except for the embarrassment, or when a pickup with two construction workers stops to help, but if it’s just you…. MotoBikeJack to the rescue. This lifting device weighs a mere eight pounds and comes in four pieces. The base is five inches square, big enough to support it if the bike is on soft ground. Three steel shafts fit into the base, giving a height of more than 30 inches, and the ratchet at the top holds 40 inches of webbed strap, with a vinyl-covered hook at the end. Hook entry is 1.25 inches wide. All this rolls into a storage bag, which ends up some 15 inches long, and roughly five inches in diameter.
The jack weighs eight pounds and comes in four pieces: three steel shafts with a base and a ratchet at the top.
Bike is on its side. We presume you have not carried the jack in a clamshell saddlebag that is n...
