This invention relates to storage devices, particularly to storage devices for storing and protecting vehicles, and more particularly to storage devices for storing and protecting bicycles and/or motorcycles. In one aspect of the present invention, a storage device may include an enclosure which may be sealed and/or closed off to the outside environment, and may further include a compact, at least partially nesting structure. In an exemplary embodiment, the nesting structure may include a plurality of segments that may form the enclosure, where some of the segments may nest into another to open the enclosure while maintaining the compact form-factor of the structure.

A collapsible crate includes a structural base and at least one collapsible corner post assembly coupled to the base. The corner post assembly includes supports configured to provide lateral protection to a payload in the crate. The corner post assembly is moveable between an upright position and a collapsed position. The crate can further be stackable and/or returnable.

A scooter transport container that houses and retains an electric scooter securely in a natural upright position whenever transporting. The scooter transport container includes a plurality of panels defining an interior cavity. An opening is defined in at least one of the front or the rear end of the transport container to permit insertion and removal of the scooter in the interior cavity. Wheel chocks prevent movement of the scooter in a longitudinal direction within the transport container. A left and a right lateral support pad are disposed on an interior of the transport container and protrude from left and right opposed sidewall panels to abut with a lateral side edge of a deck of the scooter for supporting the rider or a lateral frame member of the scooter. The lateral support pads are configured to retain the scooter 40 in an upright condition within the transport container.

An apparatus for storing a two wheeled vehicle (e.g. a bicycle, electric bicycle or motorcycle etc) having: a housing adapted to receive a two wheeled vehicle and having a door connected to it at one end which is movable between a closed configuration and an open configuration; at least one base support for a two wheeled vehicle; and at least one wheel securing means; the apparatus adapted such that when in use a user is able to open the door and push a two wheeled vehicle into the housing such that the base support receives, guides and engages parts of the wheels of the vehicle and the wheel securing means engages and secures part of a wheel with the result that the vehicle is securely held upright during storage in the apparatus.

A special compact motorcycle storage compartment for use in various applications. It consists of an exterior structure and lockable door. When a motorcycle is inside, the enclosure prevents vandalism and theft. The structure is not large enough to accommodate a person with the motorcycle. To move a motorcycle into the structure, the combination of a track system and wheel chock is used to keep the motorcycle in an upright position while moving it directly in and out of the structure. An extended handle and the wheel chock is mounted to a supporting platform. The platform is attached to two tracks which allows for movement of the platform in only two directions. The motorcyclist can push or pull on the handle to move the motorcycle into or out of the structure. Once the motorcycle is inside, the front door may be closed and locked, thus securing the motorcycle.

A carrier for vehicles having a base shaped like a quadrilateral, more specifically a parallelogram with unequal adjacent sides and no right angles. Furthermore, the base has a vertical support coupled through a housing to each vertex wherein the support is collapsible having an upright and a horizontal orientation. Each vertex of the frame comprises a target to permit the stacking of the carriers by allowing the vertical supports of a lower carrier to be inserted into the target of an upper carrier. The frame of the carrier is provided with means for securing the motorcycle to the frame and with entry chambers to lift the carrier using forklifts.

Storage system for vehicles, in particular two-wheeled vehicles, bicycles or motorcycles, having a substantially closed housing with a storage region which is not accessible from the outside and with at least one closable loading and unloading station (2) of the vehicles, a transportation system (3, 4, 5) for conveying the vehicles from the at least one loading and unloading station (2) into the storage region and within the storage region, wherein the vehicles can be stored and conveyed in mutually separate containers (9).

A multifunctional storage counter includes a plurality of sides and a countertop positioned thereon to enclose a storage space on a floor upon which the storage counter rests, and where at least one of the plurality of sides is an openable side. The storage counter is configured to be moved along the floor to enclose a stationary item resting on the floor through the openable side and into the storage space.
