A universal roll-on dolly for heavy motorcycles, with the one addition that makes it work in a real garage: an over-centre, foot-operated stopper that stabilises the bike hands-free for loading, unloading and storage.
Anyone with a big motorcycle and a normal garage knows the routine: wrestling a 300–450 kg machine into position by hand, in tight space, often at an angle. It's awkward and it's risky. And the moment you put it on a wheeled dolly to make moving easier, you trade one problem for another — now it can roll or tip, and getting the bike on and off, or leaving it parked, becomes a careful two-handed job.
This isn't a brand-new idea, and that's the point: motorcycle dollies and movers already have a real market, so the demand is proven. What most of them don't solve is stability. They help you roll the bike; they don't steady it while you load, unload or store it. That's the gap worth closing — and it's exactly the kind of specific, buildable improvement we look for.
So the design adds a single, decisive feature: a foot-operated, over-centre stopper. Step on it and the dolly locks and the bike is stabilised — hands-free — so both your hands stay on the motorcycle, where they're needed. It holds firm during loading and unloading, and it keeps the bike steady while it's parked in storage. The dolly itself is a universal roll-on: no bike-specific bobbins or fitment.
Once it's set, the mechanism stays locked on its own — no continuous force, no ratchet to mind. Stable until you deliberately release it.
You engage it with your foot, so you never have to let go of the bike to make it stable — the precarious moment becomes a calm, one-person job.
The mechanism is worked through in CAD. The next validation gate is a working prototype, tested through the load, move and storage sequence with real riders and real bikes against a defined stability-and-usability protocol — before any tooling is committed. Like every project, it only advances if it clears that gate.
If there's a recurring, costly problem in a community you're part of — or a product you'd like developed with this kind of discipline — we'd like to hear about it.
