How wide is this ramp when it folds up? I would like to use for my 900 lb Harley Ultra. Is it adequate

The ramp folds into thirds, so it's 18". The spec says it holds 1500 pounds. I haven't done anything near that heavy, but it feels really sturdy. I think it would work.

It folds in thirds by use of hinges. I have loaded my yamaha venture which is a very heavy bike and it is no problem. The nice part is the ramps are wide enough for a person on each side to guide the bike up if it can not go on it's own power. It is a nice ramp.

I measured mine to be 5-1/8" thick x 18-1/2" (the extra half-inch accounts for the hinges that remain exposed when folded)

Hey, so this ramp is a tri-fold so you can use all three pieces or use them individually. I use it to load my cleaning machines which weigh individually about 700lbs. They say each section holds up to 700 lbs, for a combined weight capacity of 2100 (but that's assuming the weight ia distributed equally). I'd assume it would work for you. Its a great product. I have no issues with it.

It's about 18" wide when folded. If I were going to load a Harley, I'd definitely take the tailgate off the truck and put the ramp directly on the bed.

I am not sure what kind of bike you have, but I have a Harley softtail, that weighs over 750lbs, and I have used this jack to move my bike easily around my garage. I would recommend getting straps to help secure the bike, this would be a great item, and its just being safe. I have moved my bike without the straps and have had no problems.

I have an 87 Four Winns Candia. The cover doesn't fit well at all. On that note, I had no problem folding it up. Folds better than it fits.

I have measured it and the unit extends from the wall in the folded position 8.75" When the swing arm is rotated to the fully extended position the clamp centerline is 16" from the wall. Once mounted the unit is very quick to use, holds the bike securely, and is easy to fine adjust if needed. Well worth the money.

Not sure, its on my bike now which is in for a tune up. I'll let you know when I get it back. It does open really wide though....

4 feet long ,ramp folds flat ...it stores flat. When not in use .....can be used as a carrier folded also .

No too small, it's probably best suited for the razor scooters only. I think a bike might crack the ramp. Look for something taller and wider.

I used it to load my HD low rider and my big 1700 Kawi Nomad - close to 900 lbs. onto my Kendon trailer. No problem. Comes with straps under the ramp to hook to trailer or your building to prevent it from sliding back.

You can remove the seat, then pull the lever in front of the bike to fold the handlebars down. Removing the seat folding the handlebars is not a long-term solution, in my opinion. If you just needed to shrink those 2 inches occasionally, then it should be fine. As I said,,, if you're going to do it on a regular basis, then this is not the bike for you. If I'm being completely honest, I purchased this is as a toy, and it fits in that category very well

With a little practice it takes about 5 seconds to fold or unfold. I fold it and roll it out of the way daily. I brought it to my house from work in the car I easily lifted it while still recovering from an injury. My guess is about 40 pounds. I love this bike.I call it "free exercise" while I watch TV.

For me, I measured the length of the ramp then took a 2x4 put it up against my vehicle then imagined how steep it is. The less steep the better. It also depends if your land is flat or sloped. My dog has since passed so we now use it as a training aid for agility. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me again. Best wishes to you and you buddy!

Boris, I don't recommend this bike at all; very hard to fold and unfold; braking mechanism unreliable; I have had way more fun with my UNO single speed folding bike, check it out instead. Tony

It is very easy to fold up,and it is a little bit longer than a suitcase I think the ramp is about 82" long so when it is slides back together it is about 40" or so.

The handlebars are on a hinge, so when it closes, the grips end up right above the rear wheel. The hinge on which it folds down is about 13 inches from the ground. It also will rest on one side, so if you have between 12" - 13" of room, you will be fine.

John, I am not sure about your Harley...I am trying to think how tall the back of the trailer is, it comes with a step and then it is about a foot to the trailer from there.I think Lifetime has ramps that connect to the back. You might want to check on that...but with the tallest walls being on the sides, it pretty much would help,( would think) to not have to deal with them being front and back.Or, boards?...your question is pretty much a 'guy thing'...so I am just guessing here, but check out Lifetimes site...they have accessories to this great trailer.

If your bike is light no problem. Maybe get an extension for the ramp or the steep angel might be a little harder. I usually pull up next to a curb when possible and have the bike on the sidewalk but I am a woman so it's a little heavier for me.
