Abstract

The invention provides a motorcycle dolly, the dolly having an elongated surface with a first end and the second end, wherein the surface defines a first section in rotatable or slidable communication with a second section; and a first plurality of wheels proximal to the first end and a second plurality of wheels proximal to the second end.

Claims (13)

1. A dolly defining a first deployed configuration and a second undeployed configuration, the dolly comprising: a single elongated surface ramp adapted to receive an inline vehicle, the ramp having a first end and a second end, wherein in the first deployed configuration the single elongated ramp defines a first section having a first length L 1 with an upwardly facing first surface in communication with a second section having a second length L 2 with an upwardly facing second surface and in the undeployed configuration the upwardly facing first surface opposes the upwardly facing second surface; a first plurality of wheels proximal to the first end and a second plurality of wheels proximal to the second end, wherein axles supporting the wheels are coplanar with the upwardly facing first surface and upwardly facing second surface; wherein the first and second sections each having longitudinally extending raised sides which provide lateral support to a wheel or foot pegs; and wherein the first and second sections slidably receive a wheel chock which is reversibly locked in place so as to lock a wheel in place.

2. The dolly as recited in claim 1 such that in the first deployed configuration the first section has a first proximal end and a first distal end and the second section has a second proximal end opposing the first proximal end and the second section has a second distal end.

3. The dolly as recited in claim 2 wherein the first plurality of wheels supports the first distal end and the second plurality of wheels supports the second distal end.

4. The dolly as recited in claim 2 wherein a third plurality of wheels is positioned beneath the opposing proximal ends.

5. The dolly as recited in claim 2 wherein a third plurality of wheels supports the first proximal end.

6. The dolly as recited in claim 1 wherein the first section and the second section are approximately equal in length.

7. The dolly as recited in claim 1 wherein the second plurality of wheels is axially and distally positioned relative to the first plurality of wheels.

8. The dolly as recited in claim 1 wherein the first section is in rotatable communication with the second section.

9. The dolly as recited in claim 1 wherein the first section is in slidable communication with the second section.

10. The dolly as recited in claim 9 wherein the first section moves in an axial direction relative to the second section.

11. The dolly as recited in claim 1 wherein the dolly is adapted to be deployed and un-deployed with one hand by a user.

12. The dolly as recited in claim 1 wherein the dolly, when loaded with the inline vehicle, can be manually moved.

13. The dolly as recited in claim 1 wherein a motorcycle can be loaded and unloaded from either end of the single elongated ramp.
