The cart (1) is characterized in that the fold-out stand (2) has a stand holder (20) which is arranged on the frame (10) and a stand element (24) which is held in a foldable manner by the stand holder (20), the stand holder (20) having a recess (21) within which the stand element (24) can be hinged between a folded state and an unfolded state.

A support beam for stabilizing a motorcycle on the wheel lift of a tow truck is provided. The support beam includes a mount that positions the beam horizontally on a rear portion of the tow truck at a level generally equal to the level of the motorcycle's handlebars when the motorcycle is resting on the wheel lift. The beam includes a first end attachable to the motorcycle's left handlebar using a left strap, and a second end attachable to the motorcycle's right handlebar using a right strap. With the motorcycle resting on the tow truck's wheel lift, and the beam configured to provide support to the motorcycle's handlebars, the motorcycle is secured to the wheel lift, stabilized, and able to be towed. In some embodiments, the mount is designed to be received into a wheel lift cable guide through-hole thereby securing the beam to the wheel lift.

A vehicle-to-vehicle connector includes a first component and a second component. The first component is configured to be connected with a first vehicle body, and a second component is configured to connect a second vehicle body with the first vehicle body. The second vehicle body includes a front wheel assembly, a stem and a handle bar, and the front wheel assembly, the stem and the handle bar lean toward a direction opposite a moving-forward direction of the first vehicle body.

A mountable hitch frame assembly for three-wheeled vehicle that secures to the rear portion of an existing three-wheeled vehicle frame to position a hitch receiver assembly rearwardly projected overtop a rear swing arm assembly of the existing three-wheeled vehicle whereby objects and accouterments are mountable securely in tow and force and inertia exerted when towing objects and accouterments is distributable directly into the existing three-wheeled vehicle frame.

A shelter and storage pod system is provided comprising a pod comprising a top wall, a bottom wall and four sidewalls, where the pod is structurally divided into a top portion and a bottom portion. A first hinge couples the top portion to the bottom portion. One or more ventilation ports are structurally integrated into the top wall, bottom wall, four sidewalls or any combination thereof. A reinforcing frame member is coupled to the bottom wall and comprises a yoke arm and a plurality of wheels coupled thereto. A bedding substrate is disposed adjacent and orthogonal to the four sidewalls, where the bedding substrate is coupled to one sidewall via a second hinge. One or more vertical frame walls define a plurality of storage compartments disposed under the bedding substrate, where the one or more vertical frame walls structurally support the bedding substrate. An adjustable coupling sleeve operatively couples to the reinforcing frame member via the yoke arm.

A flexible towing device for single-track vehicles, comprising a towing element adapted for mounting on a first of single-track vehicles and comprising a flexible towing element and a lock attached to one of the ends of the flexible towing element, a locking mechanism assembly adapted for mounting on a second of single-track vehicles and comprising a first portion of the body comprising a half-seat, a second portion of the body comprising a half-seat, which half-seats of the first and the second portion, respectively, form a seat for detachable coupling of the lock of the towing element assembly, wherein the lock of the towing element assembly is releasable from the seat of the locking element mechanism assembly following applying a release force to the lock. A towing element assembly and a locking mechanism assembly for use in the flexible towing device for single-track vehicles.

A trailer-coupling assembly is described for securing a trailer to a two-wheel vehicle. The trailer-coupling assembly is rigidly fixed to a rear-wheel frame of a two-wheel vehicle and the utility bed of a trailer. The trailer-coupling assembly is comprised of three joints that each rotate about three separate cardinal axes, permitting the trailer to navigate rough terrain without transferring rotational loading to the two-wheel vehicle. Each joint is configured to rotate at least 90 degrees in a clockwise direction and an anti-clockwise direction about a cardinal axis, providing the trailer-coupling assembly with flexibility to navigate the two-wheel vehicle and trailer over various grades of rough terrain.

A vehicle hauling apparatus for hauling a second vehicle with a first vehicle includes: a hitch bar for attaching the apparatus to a hitch receiver; a first rail mounted and arranged vertically to the hitch bar; a second rail mounted and arranged to slide vertically along the first rail; a jacking mechanism connecting the first rail to the second rail so as to lift and lower the second rail; a first element of a pivot attached to the second rail; a wheel cradle in which a tire of the second vehicle may be seated; and a second element of the pivot attached to the wheel cradle; whereby the tire of the second vehicle may be rolled along a ground surface into the wheel cradle while the wheel cradle rests on the ground surface and then be raised into a position for hauling by the jacking mechanism. A vehicle hitch jacking accessory, includes: a hitch bar for attaching the vehicle hitch jacking accessory to a hitch receiver of a vehicle; a first rail mounted and arranged vertically to the hitch bar; a second rail mounted and arranged to slide vertically along the first rail; a jacking mechanism connecting the first rail to the second rail so as to lift and lower the second rail; and a secondary hitch receiver attached to the second rail, whereby a second accessory having a hitch bar may be attached to the vehicle hitch jacking accessory.

A trailer hitch is disclosed as it may be implemented for a specialized motor vehicle (e.g., the SLINGSHOT™ by Polaris, Inc.). An example trailer hitch includes a receiver member for mounting to a swing arm assembly for a rear wheel of the specialized motor vehicle. An example trailer hitch also includes a hitch member for connecting to the receiver, the hitch member configured to extend out and around the rear wheel of the specialized motor vehicle. An example trailer hitch also includes a mounting member on the hitch member to provide a mounting location for a trailer connection behind the rear wheel.
