Abstract: A powered retractable motorcycle stand is disclosed having a stationary upper assembly mounted to a motorcycle and a moving lower assembly for ground contact. The stationary assembly includes a horizontal driven shaft coupled to an electric motor coupled. Gear reduction means transfers torque from the horizontal shaft to a vertical screw shaft that extends to a ground contact position and retracts into a protective housing. The vertical screw shaft is pinned so that it does not rotate and is restricted to linear movement. A safety device to prevent operation of the motorcycle while the stand is engaged is included. Motorcycle anti-theft means are also included.

Abstract: A motorcycle kick-stand having an actuator implement therewith so as to enable a user to activate said kick-stand upon request. The powered kick-stand of the present invention comprises: a bike-attaching portion, a ground-contacting portion having; a foot beam, and two ground contacting feet, a control portion having; auto-switching means, a kick-up sensor, and a kick-down sensor, user switching means, and conductor means. Functionally, a user can thereby activate said bike stand by simply lowering the stand until bike is supported by said stand. Safety features implemented within the present invention include; anti-theft means by disabling the kick-up function when the bike's key is not inserted, and the system's easy lift capability, which prevents the user from having to lift the bike manually to mount it on said stand.
