At first I thought "what a great idea" ... but unsure now.
I figure it would only benefit a race team that needed to get the bike off the ground quickly ??

Doesn't seem to actually get the bike off the ground. However, should be useful for those not so confident about man handling their bike onto a stand etc.

Two hammers for ?5 will do a better job that that!, I managed with one and could get each wheel off front was iffy though as it balanced on a hole in me bash plate.

this might not be useful for two stroke bikes as the exhaust might get in the way

Clever thinking, they say the released version will be one 1inch higher to get the bike wheels off the floor.
