New product: Dynamoto bike stand

Three Queensland riders have launched the go-anywhere Dynamoto motorcycle stand which, when used on both the front and rear wheel, allow riders to manoeuvre their motorcycle in tight and otherwise unachievable positions.

Saving both time and storage space, the bike stand allows riders infinite movement thanks to innovative wheels used on the stands. Instead of a conventional castor wheel, which rolls back or forwards on a single line, the Dynamoto uses what it calls rotacasters, where the fixed wheel is made up of a series of rollers around the wheel’s circumference which allow multi-directional movement.

As users of a regular-style paddock stand will know, having a fixed wheel is crucial in being able to lever the bike onto the stands in a stable and predictable manner.

Stephen Mcguinness said the design was born from the frustration of the time it took to him to retrieve his bike before a ride and return it once he arrived home, spurring him and co-creators Mark McSweeney and Stuart Black to come up with the idea, which they got off the ground thanks to a crowdfunding campaign.

“It began as a way of solving my own personal problem,” Mcguinness said. “I wanted access to my bike to be quick and easy, and often got frustrated turning it in a tight parking space. It turned me off spur of the moment rides.”

Keen watchers of MotoGP will have seen a similar setup used by HRC mechanics on the rear wheels of both Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa’s Repsol Honda machines in a bid to increase the speed and efficiency of moving the bike from pit lane into the garage.
