Actual customer comments:
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!
I had taken a trailer to load a VW trike but it wouldn’t fit. I found this product online and purchased. Delivered quick, was easy to assemble and worked like a champ. Stored on a hook in the garage for future use. I recommend to anyone needing to move a bike.
The carrier was delivered as expected via UPS; the box showed what I consider abnormal wear and tear, but the carrier and all components were undamaged. I found it easier to assemble the carrier after attaching it to the hitch on my vehicle. Take heed of the instructions to secure the handlebar straps as wide apart as practical on the tow vehicle. Also, as described, lubricant on the threads made lifting the bike much easier. My first use was a tow of a little over 900 miles driving a full-sized pickup truck. I consciously made turns into gas stations a little slower than normal as the bike leaned over and was momentarily out of site behind the tailgate (normal as stated in the instructions), but on the highway I traveled at or slightly above the posted speed limit (70+ mph) and towing was seamless to normal highway operations. I will also share I removed the mirrors on my bike to prevent reflection of headlights into the eyes of the driver of vehicles following or overtaking me at night, given the handlebars were about two feet higher than in normal operation. Overall, an excellent product!
I had to make one small modification. My bike has a fairing . could not use the bumper straps to the handlebars. Watching the by tipping as I was making a turn took a little to get used to. Made some herons with the brake attached and then drove 500 mile and the bright tracked well and rode well.. Quite easy to use.
Amazing product. Took 5 minutes to attach to motorcycle. Very stable once attached correctly. Make sure to tie handlebars to trailer for stability. I took the trailer on major highways at speeds up to 80mph. Three separate trips over 3hours long and no issues. My bike is on the lighter side (under 400lbs). So be conservative with heavier bikes.
The Wheelie appears to be well built but a couple things to know. The instructions are good except you need to pay attention to them or assembly takes a bit because you have to re-do. Customer Service, however, is outstanding and responded quickly. The biggest problem I have is: The receiver hitch height on my Ford Ranger off-road is too high. I bought the only receiver hitch lowering one I could find. It was too low. It made my Wheelie item unusable for me, and because it was opened I cannot return. It did allow me to hook it up, load my bike and appears be quite usuable, except for the height issue. If Anyone wants to buy it from me, it's for sell reasonably.
What a slick little trailer system! Once we figured out the straps, we were in business. We got looks and comments all over the place - many questions and "wows". It's a little unnerving at first, how far the bike leans, but it makes sense, and is 100% secure! I was impressed at how tight of a turn I could take with no issue. Over 70 mph, the steering gets a little wobbly, particularly with wind, but the bike is still totally secure. Opportunities for improvement: Instructions: poorly worded - especially when it comes to the straps. Q.C.: Center brass piece that the crank screws into was improperly placed. We had to pop off a plastic end and bang the press-fit piece so it was center. That being said - Customer Service via Facebook Messenger is lightning fast to respond, and was helpful. 4 stars is too low, 5 stars is too high - 4.5 would be my overall score. Excellent product. I look forward to using this for many years to come!
Nice little piece of hardware. Does the job, doesn't cost much, easy to store.
I wanted an easy way to get my Jeep and motorcycle out to Ouray, CO to hit some trails and passes. No one would rent a trailer to a Wrangler with a soft top and it would have been pricy also. This was perfect, not only did it give me a great way to pull my bike, but it also didn't add a bunch of extra weight (important when climbing 10,000+ feet mountain passes). I was able to bring both of my toys to the mountains to play for the week. It does look a little odd when the bike leans to the outside of the turns, but as long as the straps are secured, it's very stable. All in all it worked perfectly for what I needed. 600+ miles and no issues.
oil the allthread up ang go, very easy to mount the bike to, straps are way long so u got plenty of reach
This worked perfectly on a 250 mile trip behind my Nissan Titan. No problems. It is a little unnerving at first, but it was definitely secure. Went through some heavy construction with really rough roads and major bumps. Pulled over to readjust as bike was leaning a good amount after passing through that...or at least too much for comfort. Would recommend this to anyone with a bike to get from point A to B. I already recommended it to a coworker and they ordered one! Very easy to assemble from box. Such an easy one-man job. Be sure to use some lubricant before trying to raise or lower bike. It is like night and day! Once I did that, it was an extremely easy lift. I would recommend that it come with a few zip ties for securing the clutch. Putting a bike in neutral is great...as long as it doesn't jump out of it. We had some zip ties, so pulled clutch and secured to handle for piece of mind.
