Home built scissor lift bike trailer - for sale

Rampless bike trailer constructed by myself. Now for sale.
Excuse the twerking.

10/09/21 Update - Wow, this video has received far more attention than I was anticipating! I only uploaded this as a quick demo to support a facebook advert I posted over 6 years ago.

In answer to the recurrent questions:
Sorry, I do not have any formal plans available, it was roughly sketched in MS Word and tweaked during the build process.
Having noted the interest, I may dust off my CAD skills and create a drawing pack

It was built as a one off for my track day and green laning activities with a small form factor so it could be stored on its side in my garage.

It sold via facebook to a local gentleman within a day of advertising, and I've no current intentions of commercially producing them (though it would seem there's a market for such things!).

Sweet idea seams like you coulda had the bike loaded the old fashion way a whole lot quicker tho . Still really cool

To those who don't get it, I rode pro for 5 years and I quit riding up a ramp well before that. Yes, I sometimes walk a bike up a ramp while using it's power, but I still always try to have someone on the other side of the bike.
I know people who (do to age, injuries, or just life) are not riders, but collector's, pickers and mechanics who move bikes by themselves, regularly. This makes it safe and easy for ANYbody to load and unload, alone! Even BIG BIKES. Even NON-running bikes. Even a bike that is in 5 boxes, on a 4 wheel cart.
Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it makes no sense.

Excellent engineering work! Exceptional! After reading some of the replies.... there are always people who will complain, even if you hung them with a brand new rope. Ignore them.

[Dngrzchris]

Why is everyone complaining about you turning your back and not being able to see. I saw and understood pretty well what you did. Great job on building that trailer, I dig it brotha 👍

[robvlob]

The 50lbs. of extra weight saved having to have a 10lb. ramp. Still pretty cool though.

First off, that’s a neat build. Takes talent to fab up something like that, but that’s a lot of work to load a bike, when a ramp would have made quick work of it. The trailer is barely a foot off the ground.

[MrLeonides]

I have absolutely no use for that trailer. Yet it's so cool I want one. 👍👍

[dirtybauer]

Seems like alot of work to avoid using a ramp.

[alanviner]

everyone's a critic, love to see them do better..

[zachshiray]

Man thats alot of work just to losd a bike on a trailer. Ida just put a ramp gate on it and rolled the damn thing on there. Dont get me wrong this is a good idea bit its more work than its worth. But i guess if youre lazy

[rowdyrhodie]

Chris great video bud. Just out of interest, how much did that cost to build and would you consider building another one.

[Bobby_Uterus]

If it ain’t broke, make it more complicated.

[myutube]

Look like a very good idea for loading a motorcycle. It would have been better if you moved to the side, in order to see what you were trying to demonstrate. You blocked most of your own demonstration.

[FINEDENTIST]

Really sweet, larger sized tires would be a nice add on, .Very well thought out.

[Chris-sdri]

More like a drop deck than a scissor lift looks cool I would use it

[landog]

Sorry, but a small ramp would had been a lot faster. But nice job.

[blueedgeraceteam]

Great job Chris. Maybe next time don't turn your back to the camera and stand on the other side of the trailer so we can see what you are doing with the winch etc? Hope you sell it, good luck!!!!

[karbonxiii]

Anyone who’s had to push a real bike up onto a trailer or pickup truck can really appreciate this. Especially older riders.

Genius.

[cesarampuero]

Do you have the Construction plans for this awesome trailer? Is fantastic, congrats.

[bbtjdonnelly]

Pretty friggn cool build.
Wonder how well a hinged, split tongue could help. This would allow the trailer to be attached to the vehicle. Not to critique your build, just thinking out loud. Very cool trailer 🤙
