  • Patent number: 10167030
    Abstract: Devices, apparatus, systems and methods for using a magnet retractable support platform for kickstands for use with two wheeled vehicles that include motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles. While a two wheeled vehicle is parked, a kickstand support, such as a puck, can be magnetically attached to a lowered kickstand on a two wheeled vehicle by a magnet in the kickstand support. A tether line can have an end attached to the kickstand support and an opposite end tethered to a mounted retriever assembly that can be clamped to handlebars of the two-wheeled vehicle. A spring in the retriever assembly can activated by a switch to retract the tether line and allow for the kickstand support to be attached again to the mounted retriever assembly when the kickstand support is not being used. A clip and/or a second magnet on the retriever assembly can also releasably attach the kickstand support to the retriever assembly when the kickstand support is not being used.
