  • Publication number: 20100013186
    Abstract: A fully powered motorcycle stand is disclosed that is attachable to a motorcycle undercarriage and is able to extend legs on either side of the motorcycle. The legs are extended by a leg extending mechanism, such as an electric motor or a hydraulic pump and piston. Legs can include tubular and/or solid bars, and can have feet attached to the leg bottom. The legs can be connected, such as by a crossbar, or if not connected, can be separately extendable to different lengths so as to support the motorcycle vertically on uneven terrain. A stand controller sends control commands to the leg extending mechanism. A safety mechanism can be included that prevents leg extension while the motorcycle is moving, and an anti-theft system can be included that prevents leg retraction without a key or passcode.
