Having gone from 5 to 6 bikes I'm now finding space in the garage a little tight. Any personal recommendations for easy to use, easy to move bike dollies

Many thanks

I use the car type - just one under the back wheel usually does it but sometimes under the front for final positioning, works great - don't be tempted to try 2 - it's like Bambi on ice

I'm sure I paid under £150 for 2 (one in each building) but they seem to have jumped in price

I couldn't justify the complete bike dollies as I've 30ish bikes to move

I use the Constands dolly, about £220 here

they also do a rear wheel dolly for 1/2 that price

Oxford Products also started what looks like a premium track stand brand which includes an option with casters for moving bikes - am sure you’d find it on their website.

I've got the Dynamoto as above on my ZX9R. Am thinking about getting another set for my 999R. They're not cheap. I see that MotoGP teams have a nice dolly which is part wheel chock and part dolly but could be tricky to use on your own and would need to be specific to the width of the wheel.

I've ordered a Moovamoto to try and maybe order another if it works well. The dynamoto kit looks great but as you say not cheap

They are good solid pieces of kit and roll pretty freely, even over poor surfaces. I’m sure it will work out fine for you.

You can get a wheeled version of the Abba stand which looks a good idea to me, they usually lift from the swing arm pivot so much less weight on the front of the bike than a wheeled paddock stand

+1 for the Abba stand with Motoglide, works really well.
You can even get the front lift attachment to get your entire bike off the floor but I find it simple and easy enough with just the back wheel up

I've ordered a Moovamoto but got an email saying they are on back order for 8-10 weeks. No problem waiting. I'm needing more than one bike mobile and have an Abba stand in the garage so may look at the Motoglide too. IIRC Abba do a bit of a discount around black Friday so I'll maybe hang on till then

Carpet the garage.
Paddock stand.
Steel tray.

The tray is actually the top of an old washing machine, so about 2ft square.
Good for keeping the chain lube off the carpet.

I think if I was serious about this, I'd look into either a bike lift or an Abba-type stand and some industrial castors.
