Abstract: A lifting apparatus for a small vehicle which includes a two-wheeled base frame assembly. A support frame assembly is for retaining the small vehicle thereon. The support frame assembly is pivotally mounted at a rear end to a rear end of the base frame assembly. A hydraulic lift assembly is positioned between the base frame assembly and the support frame assembly. When the hydraulic lift assembly is manually activated, the support frame assembly will be raised at an angle upwardly from the base frame assembly, to allow a person to perform maintenance and repairs to the underside of the small vehicle.
