Title: Inspector Gadget’s got nothing on me. Garage storage
Post by: 1Eye on December 01, 2020, 03:42:44 PM
I thought I'd share how I store our Rad Rover Step-thrus in my garage for the winter.

;D

Tried to add a video but looks like it always fails even though it is less than 5mb.

Now THAT, is pretty slick! I'm in a bit of a quandary because I've been keeping mine in the house, but I plan on riding even in the snow. Bringing a snow covered bike into the house might not be the best thing, lol. I really just need to unload my trailer and fold it up against the wall like I designed it to, and that will give me plenty of space.

I wanted to get them off the floor since they take up so much room.

I went to Harbor Freight and bought an ATV winch with remote control for $60, 2 of their bike pulleys at $10 each, some airplane steel cable, then on to tractor supply for a few pulleys add in some stuff I already had and the rest is history as they say.

I bought the $10 bike pulleys simply for the hooks they have that work perfect for the handle bars and seat.

I have to say that it is very satisfying to hit a button on the remote and watch them raise up to the ceiling or lower to the floor.  :P

Wow, I really like it!  Though I wouldn't store them with the batteries attached.

We have to be somewhat conscious of space, especially with videos. If you have a way of sending it to me I'd be happy to upload it to my YouTube channel (or you can do the same). Thanks for sharing, this is awesome!
