Abstract

Abstract This is an apparatus for uprighting a motorized two-wheeled vehicle which is lying on the ground. The apparatus is designed to upright the motorized two-wheeled vehicle no matter which side it is lying on. The apparatus is attached to the motorized two-wheeled vehicle where the fixably mounted device of the apparatus contains two removable retainer pins and two hinges; a pair of side portions each selectively hingably connected to the fixably mounted device, and an expansible center portion containing a piston and cylinder which is connected by a hose to means for pressurizing the cylinder space above the piston. The means for pressuring the cylinder space are either hydraulic or compressed gas. In another embodiment the expansible center portion of the apparatus is replaced by a screw mechanism, each end of which is hingeably connected to the side portions of the apparatus.
