So how do you guys lift your trikes up to work on them? I have mine on a milk crate, but it wobbles, and the front wheel touches the ground, while the back wheels are up. I can't seem to get it level.

Just curious. Plus, it's a biatch getting it up on the crate.

Big picnic table and a couple truck ramps... No joke...

I have often thought about building a small deck with a ramp on each side just to specifically do things like repairs and oil changes. With the cost of building materials now days i don't know if i ever will but its been a thought.

I have a folding dirtbike stand i got from rocky mountain atv for like 50$. I have an office chair that the back unscrews from that i just started using last weekend, i can adjut the height on it and it spins 360 degrees lol . Crates kinda suck to use; lots of effort to get my bikes up on 2 crates so they have all 3 wheels off the ground.

I built a bench! Heavy duty framing, hangers, 4x6 legs w 3/4 ply on top. Add air to the rear wheels and it lifts the back legs off the ground, use a floor jack on front and it mobile no matter how much weight is on it. Makes a great project stand and a awesome work table when its empty.

I bought an ATV lift from Canadian tire ( waiting for a comment on the name ).
It was 60 bucks on sale. Works great, lifts 15 inches i think. But i normally use 2x4's to make it higher.

Having a bad back, I built this stand to get my trikes up to a work level where I don't have to do allot of bending over. Made out of plywood and 2x4s, it was inexpensive to build and I put a lazy susan on it so I can spin the trike. It works great. Once the motor is in it, the trike sits on it with no straps.

That was an SX I built back in 2009 for a guy. Its that Jeep survival green..... I hated that color so when i bought the trike from the guy last year, that color was the first thing to go. Now it looks like this.....
