The Slick Wheelie attaches in seconds to a 2" Class II or Class III receiver, and its all steel construction allows for this unit to haul bikes with a curb weight of up to 1000 lbs. Other transports require you to struggle with pushing your bike up a ramp. Not this baby!
It's as easy as...
1. Simply turn the crank and the cradle lowers to ground level
2. Insert and secure the front wheel. Then,
3. Turn the crank in the opposite direction to raise the bike to the transport position.
Really. It's just that simple.

FAQs
Do you have questions about this product? If so, take a look at some of The Slick Wheelie's FAQs.
Do I need lights on my motorcycle when towing with the Slick Wheelie?
Research indicates that because the Slick Wheelie is not a traditional trailer and the towing automobile's lights are not obstructed, additional lights are not needed. For safety, however, we offer two suggestions:
1.When driving at night, illuminate the motorcycle's running lights or purchase an inexpensive trailer lighting kit. These kits easily plug into your trailer lighting receptacle.
2.Check with your local law enforcement agency for regulations specific to your location (Laws sometimes change without the knowledge of some citizens.)
Will this type of towing affect my odometer reading?
Most odometers function in conjunction with the front tire. The front tire is elevated while in tow, so the odometer does not register any additional mileage. That being said, there are exceptions to any rule. Please refer to your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer with regards to your bike.
What kind of bike can be used with the Slick Wheelie?
Most 2 wheeled motorcycles can easily be towed with the Slick Wheelie. Trikes and side cars do not allow for the lean necessary for turning. There are 3 minimum requirements:
1.The front tire must allow for a strap to wrap around the rim, so there needs to be an opening.
2.The stabilizer straps must be able to attach to the handlebars or upper triple-tree - not the forks.
3.Custom raked front ends cannot extend more than 3 or 4 inches over the original stock lengths.
Can it be used with a motorcycle that has fairings or wind effects?
More often than not, a point of anchor can be found. Remember that the straps need either attach to the upper triple-tree or handle bars. Do NOT attach the straps to the forks. You cannot place straps over OR wrap around fairings, windshields, or anything that may interfere with the attaching of the motorcycle to the bumper. The straps that connect the motorcycle to the tow vehicle must be taut. As fairings and windshields can bend or break, attaching to either one may cause the straps to slip and become loose.
What size front tire will it accept?
Slick Wheelie will accommodate a front tire up to 5 1/2 inches in width - 6 inches, if you reduce the psi.
What is the weight capacity for the Slick Wheelie?
1000 pounds
Is there a particular bumper height that works best with The Original Slick Wheelie?
The bumper of the tow vehicle must measure 12'' - 16'' in height from the ground to the center of the receiver opening. If it does not, a drop receiver extension can be used.
Do you make a version of the Slick Wheelie that will fit a 1 1/4" receiver?
Slick Wheelie may not be used with a Class I receiver which has a 1.25'' square opening. If you have a Class I adapter, DO NOT use it with The Original Slick Wheelie. A Class I adapter is a device used to convert a Class I receiver to a Class II receiver. This adapter is not stable enough to work in conjunction with The Original Slick Wheelie. Although some internet sites may suggest the use of the two products together, DO NOT.
Using the Slick Wheelie, can I transport my shaft-driven motorcycle?
We have not received any reports from our consumers regarding any problems associated with the use of Slick Wheelie and shaft-driven motorcycles. However, know that some shaft-driven motorcycles use a lubrication pump that requires that the motor be running in order for it to work properly. Should you have any doubt or concern about your specific model, please contact your motorcycle manufacturer, authorized mechanic or dealer.
Will my motorcycle be damaged if I don't remove the drive chain before towing?
As with any engine concern, if you have any doubts, we recommend that you contact the service department of your bike specific dealership.
Can I purchase more than one Slick Wheelie?
Absolutely! Buy two or three. The Original Slick Wheelie makes an AWESOME gift!

slickest cycle tow contraption
Posted by Jim on Mar 14th 2023
I have an fx harley, 750lbs, and a pickup truck. I assembled the slick wheelie and lubed the brass and screw with a couple of drops of conventional motor oil. I put the bike in the cradle and cranked it up. I strapped it over the tailgate from the forks. I then pulled a friends 650 Suzuki with ease. Very happy with the device!
I then drove 240 miles with no problems what so ever. I cruised 70-80 miles an hour on the highway making a few stopes to check the tension on the straps. This device is strong and the straps are heavy duty. I was supprised at how well it is built. Only thing I can say is if it had a bolt welded to the end of the screw a screw gun would save a lot of effort in raising and lowering the bike. -
It works!!
Posted by Sean on Nov 7th 2022
I looked at pots of reviews before getting the Slick Wheelie. I was concerned it wouldn't work. I was pleasantly surprised! It worked great! I advise anyone getting it to practice a few times before using it for an actual trip. I learned a few things each time that made it easier and more stable. Also, grease, grease, grease on the screw shift. It will make things so much easier. Thx!

Great solution.
Posted by BB on Aug 15th 2022
For my light (300 lb) bike, this thing works great. Included straps are substantial and the bike was held in place solidly for my test drive of 120 miles on highway and small roads. I wish the part the goes into the tow hitch receiver was a little longer (2" would be good), as it tilts down a bit, but it's solidly made so no worry about it bending. Make sure you grease the screw shaft (and the nut at the bottom). All in all, totally worth it. Thanks!

Slick Willie Review
Posted by Matthew on Jul 16th 2022
The company delivered the unit within a few days. The unit is designed to handle up to 1000 lbs. My bike is a touring model Harley with a fairing. I was able to hook up the bike strapping to the upper tree in front of the motor. No problem. However, my bike is too heavy for the slick willie. I lubricated the lifting stem, but while raising the bike, it became very difficult. The weight of the bike started bending the lifting stem. Also, while lifting the bike, it started to damage the front lower part of the front fender.
I would recommend this unit for a much lighter motorcycle which has a less ornate front fender.
The Slick Willie is probably a very good unit for the right sized bike.
I hope this helps. -
Company made things right
Posted by Chuck Graves on Nov 2nd 2021
Fed ex messed up on my order they rerouted it with no explanation, when I reached out to the trailer store they got ahold of fed ex and responded to me within a day fast forward to the package being delivered.... it showed up with a large hole in the box and it was missing a ratchet strap and the crank handle I contacted the trailer store about this and they sent out replacement parts right away I have no complaints about how they handled everything, fed ex on the other hand well..... anyway the product is about what you would expect at this pricepoint its not the most refined product but it works! I recommend greasing the threaded rod it will operate so much better! I used synthetic garage door lube and it worked great
