Review on Storage Lift Bike Hoist 2009: Securely Store Your 🚲 Bike with 100LB Capacity Heavy Duty Bike Lane Bicycle Garage by Rahul Schatz

FULL HEIGHT BIKE FALLED / FALL ON ME

I consider myself mechanical and quite comfortable. The problems I'm having are not related to the wrong installation. This product is entirely unsafe as is and as you have been instructed to use it. This could have been made safer if the lift forks had a bit more camber so they would actually stop at the contact points. DO NOT HANG ON WHEELS AS THEY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CAN FOR MORE HANGING HEIGHT. When you attach the jacks to the wheels, they do what the wheels do and rotate, causing the bike to tip to one side or the other, causing them to either roll off the lift forks or suddenly flip the bike upside down. I was attracted by the low purchase price but this is a very true example of what you pay for, but in this case it not only sucks but can lead to injury (I found). In addition to the above issues, the included rope started to wear out on the first climb.

Pros
  • shiny
Cons
  • Big and bulky
