Just bought one, perfect for my needs. I have a 1 car garage, and I'm gone 6 months a year, so it's nice to be able to throw it on the stand and push the bike tight to one side of the garage so the wife has room to go in and out.
Purchased this but Have an issue with controlling the direction when moving the bike. Bike wants to wander and is a pain to move in an exact location. Can get it done but this should be addressed. Also would be nice to have the jack attached to the dolly. Very sturdy and well built.
Hello, I appreciate your review as I have been looking at this and the Iron Horse dolly. Concerning the Let's Roll have you had any problems with moving the bike in a straight line once you have spun it around in the direction you want it moved? I've seen some comments that this may be an issue when trying to roll it forward.
great video, I was wondering why the design of this dolly is with the actual stand, where you put the back , is moved towards the front instead on the middle to even the weight of the bike across?
Had mine for about 8 months and you are right about adjusting the jack...have a Honda Shadow Aero and still haven't found the center of that thing...front or back wheel always higher but it is VERY well made!! at 69 I appreciate the ease of moving it.
May I ask what are the dimensions of the dolly, specially what is the OVERALL width of the dolly outside frame to outside of the frame? Also, how high is the frame of the dolly off the ground? I thank you in advance.
This seems like a great idea, however for the money, why not just get a solid motorcycle jack? It can be left under the bike, still rolls around in the garage, takes up the same real estate, is much more convenient to jack up and again, for the price, can get three for the price of this one setup. Don't get me wrong, it's very appealing, just can't justify the money and inconvenience. I have two nice jacks that I use now and don't need to swap stands and hand crank jacks. Is there something else I'm missing where I could benefit?
Does the bike need to be upright (either someone else holding it upright or in a front wheel chock) before you can slide the jack underneath it? Or can you slide it in and jack it up while it’s leaning on it’s kickstand? Also, does the Dolley have brakes for the casters? Thanks
That setup is archaic man! Who the hell wants to "ratchet" up their bike? Should at least be a hydraulic cylinder and the ultimate would be a pneumatic lift. This thing sucks balls.
Depends on what you want to spend I guess. Not a lot of options out there, and most center around a manual jack of some sort unless you get up in the full on lift category.

Looks like a lot of work, I have an Iron Horse Lift and it is super easy to use.

man thats exactly what I need especially because I have the same problem I have a steep slope driveway
Great Video…. How’s the lift and dolly holding up sir since the 3 yrs you have it?
No problems at all. Used it on many different bikes at this point too
Three kick stand was already of the ground. What did you do to have it up already

When in doubt, I just jack it up really high and set it down on the dolly to even itself out. Ha!

Sir great video , was wondering about the red lift betwwen the dolly where did you get , aka do you have a link,. thks
It came as a package deal
Great Video Thanks 😊
Change the dolly be used for an oil change? Thank you.
Good review and great product - except the price has increased to $550 for the package deal now, not $395 when you reviewed it! :-(
What a pain. I ride to often to fool with that. Plus we park our bikes in side extension of the garage. It an extra 5' but its an inch or so higher.
Will a 2005 Honda Shadow Aero 750 go on this dolly ?
Would this be a good lift/dolly for doing a 3 hole oil change?
Not really, you can buy a designated jack or even a lift for less
You can if the dolly is lined up right. Just got mine and love it. Just the fact that I can get both tires off the ground for the winter.
8:30 Attempted doggie photo bomb. 😲
How sturdy is the bike when on it ?
Very

You shouldn't leave the bike up on a hydraulic jack indefinitely
It’s about mobility… For instance we live in our “garage” with the scooters and being able to move them around is important.
Jack lift high enough to do oil change little maintenance
Does the bike need to be upright (either someone else holding it upright or in a front wheel chock) before you can slide the jack underneath it? Or can you slide it in and jack it up while it’s leaning on it’s kickstand? Also, does the Dolley have brakes for the casters? Thanks
You jack it up with the bike on the kickstand. No need for anyone else. No brakes on casters
Good review.
What kind of seat is that? Is it comfort and does it sit lower? Thx
Le pera super Villan. If you go to my channel I made a video on it a few years ago, it was a great seat
They want $629 now (Jan ‘22) for the combo set! 😳 WTH?!?
Looks like they changed the jack, still thats a big increase.
I got something similar , used it 3 times , too much stuffing around if you ride often. so I am selling my one to another victim at half price.
My $99 hydraulic jack does the same thing in 3sec
Whatever happened to just pushing the bike around?
Prob a 9 foot UK size width garage.
$700 now!
