Wheel Chocks for new Scoots

Post by LCAC_Man »

Image
Just got a new pair of scoots, Blur for me, Like for her. Looking for the best wheel chocks for both trailer and truck bed use. Anyone have any recommendations. I've looked at the Condor SCC4000 and one of the Black Widow versions that is similar. Any input??

Save your money. A large 4x4 or 6x6 propped at the front of the trailer or truckbed is more then enough. You could even cut out two notches far enough apart to park your front wheel into, but oly recessed a little bit. Canyon dancer, ratchet straps, compress the front shocks and no center stand.... Easy peasy.

I use the Condor. It is sturdy, well made, and quite adjustable. The "clamping" system for the front wheel works well.

I did a little research and found these from Harbor Freight.

They have good reviews and I got a coupon that brought the price down to $45 so it wasn't even worth making my own..

I saw that the wheel sizes were... "that can accommodate front or rear motorcycle wheel sizes from 15" to 22" (80-127W)"

Aren't the wheels on the Buddy 10 inches?

I think my blur's are 13" and the Kymco is 12". I saw alot of Vespa users were using these with no mods, some with just minor changes..shouldn't be much if any effort to change.

Just FYI the Harbor Freight stands I bought work without modification on both 12 and 13 inch tires.

Last night I bought the Harbor Freight stand/chock for open trailering our Buddy 170i from Colorado to Michigan, and back.

Motorcycle Stand/Wheel Chock U.S. General - item#97841

Anybody have tips for use (modifications) to use with the 10" Buddy wheel?
