The invention relates to a two-wheeled bicycle stand having at least one foot (6) comprising at least one recess (9), said at least one recess forming at least one cavity upon contact between said foot (6) and a surface, characterized in that in at least one of said cavities a vacuum can be built up and released, and characterized in that the release of the vacuum and/or the build-up of the vacuum necessitates a verification. Such a bicycle stand can be fastened to a bicycle, resulting in improved stability and protection against theft.

When riding or parking cycles, a support aid is expedient in many situations. Side supports for cycles, configured for permanently mounting on the cycle and for laterally supporting the cycle when stationary with or without a rider, or during riding, have at least one side stand mechanism (13) with at least one supporting wheel (13.9), which supporting wheel can be positioned in at least one height position. According to the invention, the side support device is switchable and has a gear device (14) which is coupled to the supporting wheel and is configured for positioning the supporting wheel in at least two height positions comprising at least one extended supporting height position and at least one retracted height position for support-free riding with the cycle. Robustness and flexibility can thereby be especially ensured. The invention also relates to the use of individual components of the side support device and to a method for coupling the side support device to a drive traction means of the cycle.

A motor is coupled to a rocker switch. A threaded shaft is mechanically coupled to the motor. A threaded fitting is coupled to the threaded shaft. The threaded fitting has a first leg and a second leg positioned substantially opposite the first leg. A first foot is coupled substantially perpendicular to the first leg. A second foot is coupled substantially perpendicular to the second leg. The peg brace is coupled to the first leg and the second leg.

A kickstand assembly for a motorcycle includes a motorbike and a housing. The housing defines an interior space and is coupled to an end of a frame of the motorbike. A plurality of rods is positioned in the interior space. Each rod is selectively extensible from a bottom of the housing. An actuator is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the interior space. The actuator is operationally coupled to the plurality of rods. The actuator is positioned to selectively urge the rods to extend from the housing so that a terminus of each rod contacts a surface upon which the motorbike is positioned. The motorbike is stabilized on the surface.

A foldable device for lifting a motorcycle that has fallen on its side has a bipod with two supports, a telescopic elongated main body, a handle, a ratchet strap coupled to a lever, a main strap having a closed loop in one end, and two secondary straps. The unfolded device is positioned firmly held to the floor besides the fallen motorcycle, centered between the gasoline tank and the seat, with the handle pointing up and the ratchet facing the motorcycle. The main strap passes below the motorcycle, so its closed loop end is wrapped to the motorcycle's foot peg and its open end is introduced into the ratchet. The lever is activated as many times as necessary until the wheels touch the floor, the secondary straps pass through the wheels attaching both ends to the bipod supports and the lever is activated again until the motorcycle is lifted.

The present disclosure refers to a motorcycle accessory for improving the weight-distribution of a motorcycle on its kickstand. The accessory is a plate that can be moved out of its housing attached to the motorcycle to the ground where the user wants to place the kickstand. The housing is attached to motorcycle by a mounting element. The plate can include an LED light, various attachments, and various surfaces designed to keep the plate in place.
