I've been keen to buy an Abba Stands Moto Glide but they have been out of stock for some time so I've started looking at alternatives.

I found
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-mcd1-motorcycle-dolly/

Anyone used one of these, any good, any obvious bad points?

Helps that it's cheaper than an abba but wheels don't get to be off the ground which would be nice for winter.

unless you need to store your bike in a cupboard that thing seems a bit useless.
if you need to wheel a bike round ,they have wheels of thier own.
if you need to work on it then something that gets the bike in the air with the weight off the wheels would be better,like paddock stands.

They can make life easier if you need to get the bike into an awkward spot - like sideways on at the end of a garage so you can get a car in. With one of those you can just push it right up against the wall, which would be tricky to achieve using the bike's own wheels and steering.

I have one for the rear wheel only and it does almost what that one will do but using a fraction of the space. Without it I could never have put my bike in it's box.

I use something similar to this.

Best for bikes with centerstands.
