A powered retractable motorcycle stand is disclosed having a stationary
upper assembly mounted to a motorcycle and a moving lower assembly for
ground contact. The stationary assembly includes a horizontal driven
shaft coupled to an electric motor coupled. Gear reduction means
transfers torque from the horizontal shaft to a vertical screw shaft that
extends to a ground contact position and retracts into a protective
housing. The vertical screw shaft is pinned so that it does not rotate
and is restricted to linear movement. A safety device to prevent
operation of the motorcycle while the stand is engaged is included.
Motorcycle anti-theft means are also included.
